7 > * Support for HP-UX 11.11.
8 > * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
9 > * Minor fixes to saidar.
10 > * Minor code tidies and fixes to libstatgrab.

12 < * Initial working release for Solaris (tested on 7, 8, and 9)
12 > libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
13 >
14 > * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
15 >   by an integer.
16 > * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
17 >   mebibytes or gibibytes.
18 > * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
19 >   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
20 > * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
21 >   speeds.
22 > * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
23 >
24 > libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
25 >
26 > * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.

28 > libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
29 >
30 > * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
31 > * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
32 > * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
33 > * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
34 > * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
35 >   on Solaris.
36 > * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
37 >   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.

39 > * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
40 >   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
41 > * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
42 >
43 > libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
44 >
45 > * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
46 >   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
47 >   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
48 >
49 >     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
50 >     #include <statgrab.h>
51 >
52 > * New process stats function added to provide full details
53 >   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
54 >   for details.
55 > * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
56 >   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
57 > * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
58 >   associated functions.
59 > * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
60 > * Lots of code tidying.
61 > * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
62 >     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
63 >
64 > libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
65 >
66 > * Added network interface information:
67 >     speed, duplex, up/down.
68 > * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
69 >     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
70 > * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
71 > * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
72 > * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
73 >     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
74 >     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
75 > * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
76 >
77 > * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
78 >
79 > libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
80 >
81 > * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
82 > * Python bindings available in extras directory.
83 > * Some tidying up of code.

137 >
138 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
139 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
140 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
141 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
142 >   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
143 > * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
