149 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
150 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
151 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
152 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
153 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
154 +
155 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
156 +
157 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
158 +
159 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.

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