5  
6 < libstatgrab 1.2 (3 March 2003)

7  
8 < * Initial working release for Solaris (tested on 7, 8, and 9)
8 > * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
9 >   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
10 >   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
11 >
12 >     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
13 >     #include <statgrab.h>
14 >
15 > * New process stats function added to provide full details
16 >   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
17 >   for details.
18 > * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
19 >   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
20 > * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
21 >   associated functions.
22 > * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
23 > * Lots of code tidying.
24 > * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
25 >     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
26 >
27 > libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
28 >
29 > * Added network interface information:
30 >     speed, duplex, up/down.
31 > * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
32 >     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
33 > * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
34 > * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
35 > * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
36 >     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
37 >     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
38 > * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
39 >
40 > * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
41 >
42 > libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
43 >

54 > * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).

100 >
101 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
102 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
103 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
104 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
105 >   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
106 > * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
107 >   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
