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 0.12 (?? July 2005)
12 + * More details added to filesystem statistics.
13 +     (Patches provided by Roman Neuhauser)
14 + * Rework Linux partition detection.
15 + * Fix compile error in network stats on Linux 2.6.
16 +    (Patches provided by Scott Lampert)
17 + * Change name of duplex value in network interface stats.
18 +    NOTE: this minor change breaks the API.
19 + * Manual pages for saidar, statgrab and the other tools.
20 + * Fix minor typo in statgrab usage output.
21 + * Support for Solaris 10.
22 + * Support for FreeBSD 7.
23 +
24 + libstatgrab 0.11.1 (03 March 2005)
25 + * Add NFS to list of supported filesystems.
26 + * Fix reporting of network interface duplex settings on Linux.
27 + * Fix saidar to support negative FS usage.
28 +
29 + libstatgrab 0.11 (09 November 2004)
30 + * Add support for HP-UX 11.11.
31 +    (Patches provided by Roy Keene)
32 + * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
33 + * Minor fixes to saidar.
34 + * Minor code cleanups and fixes to libstatgrab.
35 +
36 + libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
37 +
38 + * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
39 +   by an integer.
40 + * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
41 +   mebibytes or gibibytes.
42 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
43 +   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
44 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
45 +   speeds.
46 + * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
47 +
48 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
49 +
50 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
51 +
52 + libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
53 +
54 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
55 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
56 + * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
57 + * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
58 + * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
59 +   on Solaris.
60 + * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
61 +   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
62 + * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
63 + * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
64 +   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
65 + * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
66 +
67 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
68 +
69 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
70 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
71 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
72 +
73 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
74 +     #include <statgrab.h>
75 +
76 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
77 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
78 +   for details.
79 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
80 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
81 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
82 +   associated functions.
83 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
84 + * Lots of code tidying.
85 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
86 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
87 +
88 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
89 +
90 + * Added network interface information:
91 +     speed, duplex, up/down.
92 + * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
93 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
94 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
95 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
96 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
97 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
98 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
99 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
100 +
101 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
102 +
103 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
104 +
105 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
106 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.
107 + * Some tidying up of code.
108 +
109 + libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
110 +
111 + * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
112 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
113 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
114 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
115 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
116 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
117 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
118 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
119 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
120 +
121 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
122 +
123   * Support for Linux 2.6.
124   * Support for Cygwin.
125   * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
126   * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
127   * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
128 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
129 +   (after using the init function)
130  
131   libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
132  
# Line 40 | Line 162 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
162   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
163   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
164     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
165 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
165 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
166     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
167   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
168     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
