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 filesystem) to list of known filesystems
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 safely 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)

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 >

86 >
87 > * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.
88 > * FreeBSD code optimised.
89 > * Initialise function allows programs to drop extra privileges (on *BSD).

97 >
98 > * Support for FreeBSD 5.1/sparc64.
99 > * Bugs fixed in FreeBSD memory statistics.

101 > * Bug fixed displaying hostname in saidar.
102 > * statgrab now handles unusual /dev layouts more gracefully.
103 > * Minor packaging changes.
104 >
105 > libstatgrab 0.6 (09 October 2003)
106 >
107 > * saidar, a curses-based tool, has been added to give an overview of
108 >   the current system statistics.
109 > * Added support for FreeBSD 5.1.

115 >
116 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
117 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
118 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
119 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
120 >   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
121 > * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
122 >   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
