6 + libstatgrab 0.10.1 (20 July 2004)
7 +
8 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
9 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
10 + * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
11 + * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
12 + * Add vxfs (veritas file system) to list of know file systems
13 +   on Solaris.
14 + * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
15 +   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
16 + * Make sure statgrab.h can't be included twice.
17 + * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
18 +   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
19 + * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
20 +
21 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
22 +
23 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
24 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
25 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
26 +
27 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
28 +     #include <statgrab.h>
29 +
30 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
31 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
32 +   for details.
33 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
34 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
35 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
36 +   associated functions.
37 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
38 + * Lots of code tidying.
39 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
40 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
41 +
42 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
43 +
44 + * Added network interface information:
45 +     speed, duplex, up/down.
46 + * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
47 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
48 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
49 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
50 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
51 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
52 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
53 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
54 +
55 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
56 +
57 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
58 +
59 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
60 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.
61 + * Some tidying up of code.
62 +
63 + libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
64 +
65 + * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
66 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
67 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
68 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
69 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
70 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
71 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
72 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
73 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
74 +
75 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
76 +
77 + * Support for Linux 2.6.
78 + * Support for Cygwin.
79 + * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
80 + * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
81 + * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
82 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
83 +   (after using the init function)
84 +
85 + libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
86 +
87 + * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.
88 + * FreeBSD code optimised.
89 + * Initialise function allows programs to drop extra privileges (on *BSD).
90 + * saidar now works even if it can't get all statistics.
91 + * List of known file systems increased on Linux and *BSD.
92 + * Minor bug fixes.
93 + * Tested (and working) on Solaris 9 x86, Linux 2.2 on alpha, and
94 +   Linux 2.4 on amd64.
95 +
96   libstatgrab 0.6.1 (18 October 2003)
