6 + PLANS: We're now working towards a 1.0 release which is where we plan
7 +       to stabilise the API. We'll be doing test releases before hand,
8 +       but as always we'll like to hear about any bugs found in the
9 +       current release.
10 +
11 + libstatgrab 0.13? (?? March 2006)
12 + * Fix build problems with recent linux kernels.
13 + * Make saidar truncate disk/inteface/mount names to fit in display.
14 + * Add WIN32 support using MINGW (not widely tested).
15 + * Fix network interface up/down status on Solaris.
16 + * Add extern "C" to header file to make linking with C++ code easier.
17 + * A few build fixes.
18 +
19 + libstatgrab 0.12 (31 July 2005)
20 + * More details added to filesystem statistics.
21 +     (Patches provided by Roman Neuhauser)
22 + * Rework Linux partition detection.
23 + * Fix compile error in network stats on Linux 2.6.
24 +    (Patches provided by Scott Lampert)
25 + * Change name of duplex value in network interface stats.
26 +    NOTE: this minor change breaks the API.
27 + * Manual pages for saidar, statgrab and the other tools.
28 + * Fix minor typo in statgrab usage output.
29 + * Support for Solaris 10.
30 + * Support for FreeBSD 7.
31 +
32 + libstatgrab 0.11.1 (03 March 2005)
33 + * Add NFS to list of supported filesystems.
34 + * Fix reporting of network interface duplex settings on Linux.
35 + * Fix saidar to support negative FS usage.
36 +
37 + libstatgrab 0.11 (09 November 2004)
38 + * Add support for HP-UX 11.11.
39 +    (Patches provided by Roy Keene)
40 + * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
41 + * Minor fixes to saidar.
42 + * Minor code cleanups and fixes to libstatgrab.
43 +
44 + libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
45 +
46 + * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
47 +   by an integer.
48 + * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
49 +   mebibytes or gibibytes.
50 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
51 +   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
52 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
53 +   speeds.
54 + * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
55 +
56 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
57 +
58 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
59 +
60 + libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
61 +
62 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
63 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
64 + * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).

71 + * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
72 +   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
73 + * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
74 +
75 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
76 +
77 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
78 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
79 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
80 +
81 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
82 +     #include <statgrab.h>
83 +
84 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
85 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
86 +   for details.
87 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
88 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
89 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
90 +   associated functions.
91 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
92 + * Lots of code tidying.
93 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
94 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
95 +
96 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
97 +

101 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
102 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
103 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
104 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
105 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
106 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
107 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
108 +
109 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
110 +

140 +
141 + * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.

160  
161   * saidar, a curses-based tool, has been added to give an overview of
# Line 12 | Line 170 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
170   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
171   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
172     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
173 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
173 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
174     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
175   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
176     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
