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 0.14 (?? December 2006)
12 + * Fix memory stats on OpenBSD.
13 + * Add colour support to saidar.
14 +     (Thanks to Angelina Carlton)
15 + * Fix CPU stats on Solaris - swap and iowait were incorrectly reported.
16 + * Fix kstat related memory leaks on Solaris.
17 +     (Thanks to Javier Donaire)
18 + * Fix network stats on some unusual Solaris setups.
19 + * Fix process time_spent on Linux.
20 +     (Thanks to Fred Barnes)
21 + * Make interface up status check the link status as well.
22 +     (Thanks to Michelangelo Vassallo)
23 + * Fix build on NetBSD 3.
24 +     (Thanks to Wijnand Wiersma)
25 +
26 + libstatgrab 0.13 (19 March 2006)
27 + * Fix build problems with recent linux kernels.
28 + * Make saidar truncate disk/inteface/mount names to fit in display.
29 + * Add WIN32 support using MINGW (not widely tested).
30 + * Fix network interface up/down status on Solaris.
31 + * Add extern "C" to header file to make linking with C++ code easier.
32 + * Fix statgrab to cope with filesystem paths containing dots.
33 + * Make NFS a legal filesystem type on all platforms.
34 + * A few minor build fixes.
35 +
36 + libstatgrab 0.12 (31 July 2005)
37 + * More details added to filesystem statistics.
38 +     (Patches provided by Roman Neuhauser)
39 + * Rework Linux partition detection.
40 + * Fix compile error in network stats on Linux 2.6.
41 +     (Patches provided by Scott Lampert)
42 + * Change name of duplex value in network interface stats.
43 +     NOTE: this minor change breaks the API.
44 + * Manual pages for saidar, statgrab and the other tools.
45 + * Fix minor typo in statgrab usage output.
46 + * Support for Solaris 10.
47 + * Support for FreeBSD 7.
48 +
49 + libstatgrab 0.11.1 (03 March 2005)
50 + * Add NFS to list of supported filesystems.
51 + * Fix reporting of network interface duplex settings on Linux.
52 + * Fix saidar to support negative FS usage.
53 +

56 +    (Patches provided by Roy Keene)
57 + * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
58 + * Minor fixes to saidar.
59 + * Minor code cleanups and fixes to libstatgrab.
60 +
61 + libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
62 +
63 + * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
64 +   by an integer.
65 + * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
66 +   mebibytes or gibibytes.
67 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
68 +   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
69 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
70 +   speeds.
71 + * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
72 +
73 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
74 +
75 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
76 +
77 + libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
78 +
79 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
80 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
81 + * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).

89 +   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
90 + * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
91 +
92 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
93 +
94 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
95 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
96 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
97 +
98 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
99 +     #include <statgrab.h>
100 +
101 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
102 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
103 +   for details.
104 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
105 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
106 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
107 +   associated functions.
108 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
109 + * Lots of code tidying.
110 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
111 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
112 +
113   libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
114  
115   * Added network interface information:
# Line 13 | Line 120 | libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
120   * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
121   * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
122       FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
123 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
124   * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
125  
126   * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
# Line 79 | Line 187 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
187   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
188   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
189     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
190 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
190 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
191     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
192   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
193     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
