4 < * Initial working release for Solaris (tested on 7, 8, and 9)
4 > $Id$
5 >
6 > libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
7 >
8 > * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
9 >   by an integer.
10 > * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
11 >   mebibytes or gibibytes.
12 > * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
13 >   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
14 > * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
15 >   speeds.
16 > * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
17 >
18 > libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
19 >
20 > * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
21 >
22 > libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
23 >
24 > * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
25 > * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
26 > * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
27 > * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
28 > * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
29 >   on Solaris.
30 > * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
31 >   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
32 > * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
33 > * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
34 >   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
35 > * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
36 >
37 > libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
38 >
39 > * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
40 >   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
41 >   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
42 >
43 >     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
44 >     #include <statgrab.h>
45 >
46 > * New process stats function added to provide full details
47 >   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
48 >   for details.
49 > * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
50 >   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
51 > * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
52 >   associated functions.
53 > * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
54 > * Lots of code tidying.
55 > * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
56 >     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
57 >
58 > libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
59 >
60 > * Added network interface information:
61 >     speed, duplex, up/down.
62 > * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
63 >     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
64 > * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
65 > * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
66 > * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
67 >     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
68 >     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
69 > * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
70 >
71 > * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
72 >
73 > libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
74 >
75 > * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
76 > * Python bindings available in extras directory.
77 > * Some tidying up of code.
78 >

85 > * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).

131 >
132 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
133 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
134 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
135 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
136 >   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
137 > * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
138 >   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
