10 > libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
11 >
12 > * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
13 > * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
14 > * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
15 > * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
16 > * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
17 >   on Solaris.
18 > * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
19 >   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
20 > * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
21 > * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
22 >   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
23 > * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
24 >
25 > libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
26 >
27 > * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
28 >   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
29 >   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
30 >
31 >     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
32 >     #include <statgrab.h>
33 >
34 > * New process stats function added to provide full details
35 >   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
36 >   for details.
37 > * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
38 >   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
39 > * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
40 >   associated functions.
41 > * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
42 > * Lots of code tidying.
43 > * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
44 >     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
45 >
46 > libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
47 >
48 > * Added network interface information:
49 >     speed, duplex, up/down.
50 > * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
51 >     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
52 > * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
53 > * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
54 > * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
55 >     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
56 >     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
57 > * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
58 >
59 > * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
60 >
61 > libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
62 >
63 > * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
64 > * Python bindings available in extras directory.
65 > * Some tidying up of code.
66 >
67 > libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)

71 > * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
72 > * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
73 > * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
74 > * Some incorrect #includes moved.
75 > * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
76 >   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.

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

146 >   connected.
