144 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
145 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
146 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
147 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
148 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
149 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
150 +
151 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
152 +

163 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
164 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
165 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
166 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
167 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
168 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
169 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
170 +
171 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
172 +
173   * Support for Linux 2.6.
174   * Support for Cygwin.
175   * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
# Line 42 | Line 212 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
212   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
213   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
214     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
215 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
215 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
216     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
217   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
218     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
