73 > * Added support for FreeBSD 5.1.
74 > * Documentation is now available in manpages.

78 > libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
79 >
80 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
81 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
82 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
83 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
84 >   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
85 > * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
86 >   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
