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.

68 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
69 +   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
70 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
71 +   speeds.

73 +
74 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
75 +
76 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.

79 +
80 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
81 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.

90 +   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
91 + * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
92 +
93 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
94 +
95 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
96 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
97 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
98 +
99 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
100 +     #include <statgrab.h>
101 +
102 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
103 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
104 +   for details.
105 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
106 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
107 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
108 +   associated functions.
109 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
110 + * Lots of code tidying.
111 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
112 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
113 +
114 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
115 +
116 + * Added network interface information:

119 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
120 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
121 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
122 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
123 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
124 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
125 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
126 +
127 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
128 +
129 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
130 +
131 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
132 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.
133 + * Some tidying up of code.
134 +
135 + libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
136 +
137 + * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
138 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
139 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
140 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
141 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
142 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
143 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
144 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
145 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
146 +
147 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
148 +
149   * Support for Linux 2.6.
150   * Support for Cygwin.
151   * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
152   * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
153   * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
154 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
155 +   (after using the init function)

157   libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)

# Line 40 | Line 188 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
188   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
189   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
190     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
191 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
191 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
192     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
193   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
194     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
