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 (19 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 + * Fix statgrab to cope with filesystem paths containing dots.
18 + * Make NFS a legal filesystem type on all platforms.
19 + * A few minor build fixes.
20 +
21 + libstatgrab 0.12 (31 July 2005)
22 + * More details added to filesystem statistics.
23 +     (Patches provided by Roman Neuhauser)
24 + * Rework Linux partition detection.
25 + * Fix compile error in network stats on Linux 2.6.
26 +    (Patches provided by Scott Lampert)
27 + * Change name of duplex value in network interface stats.
28 +    NOTE: this minor change breaks the API.
29 + * Manual pages for saidar, statgrab and the other tools.
30 + * Fix minor typo in statgrab usage output.
31 + * Support for Solaris 10.
32 + * Support for FreeBSD 7.
33 +
34 + libstatgrab 0.11.1 (03 March 2005)
35 + * Add NFS to list of supported filesystems.
36 + * Fix reporting of network interface duplex settings on Linux.
37 + * Fix saidar to support negative FS usage.
38 +
39 + libstatgrab 0.11 (09 November 2004)
40 + * Add support for HP-UX 11.11.
41 +    (Patches provided by Roy Keene)
42 + * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
43 + * Minor fixes to saidar.
44 + * Minor code cleanups and fixes to libstatgrab.
45 +
46 + libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
47 +
48 + * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
49 +   by an integer.
50 + * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
51 +   mebibytes or gibibytes.
52 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
53 +   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
54 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
55 +   speeds.
56 + * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
57 +
58 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
59 +
60 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
61 +
62 + libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
63 +
64 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
65 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
66 + * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).

68 + * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
69 +   on Solaris.
70 + * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
71 +   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.

73 + * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
74 +   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
75 + * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
76 +
77 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
78 +
79 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
80 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
81 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
82 +
83 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
84 +     #include <statgrab.h>
85 +
86 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
87 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
88 +   for details.
89 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
90 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
91 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
92 +   associated functions.
93 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
94 + * Lots of code tidying.
95 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
96 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
97 +
98 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
99 +
100 + * Added network interface information:
101 +     speed, duplex, up/down.
102 + * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
103 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
104 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
105 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
106 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
107 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
108 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
109 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
110 +
111 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
112 +

127 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
128 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
129 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
130 +
131 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
132 +

138 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
139 +   (after using the init function)
140 +
141 + libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
142 +
143 + * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.

161   libstatgrab 0.6 (09 October 2003)
162  
163   * saidar, a curses-based tool, has been added to give an overview of
# Line 12 | Line 172 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
172   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
173   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
174     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
175 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
175 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
176     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
177   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
178     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
