6 + libstatgrab 0.11 (09 November 2004)
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.
11 +
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.
27 +
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.
38 + * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
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.
84 +
85 + libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
86 +
87 + * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
88 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
89 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
90 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
91 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
92 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
93 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
94 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
95 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
96 +
97 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
98 +
99 + * Support for Linux 2.6.
100 + * Support for Cygwin.
101 + * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
102 + * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
103 + * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
104 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
105 +   (after using the init function)
106 +
107 + libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
108 +
109 + * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.
110 + * FreeBSD code optimised.
111 + * Initialise function allows programs to drop extra privileges (on *BSD).
112 + * saidar now works even if it can't get all statistics.
113 + * List of known file systems increased on Linux and *BSD.
114 + * Minor bug fixes.
115 + * Tested (and working) on Solaris 9 x86, Linux 2.2 on alpha, and

119 +
120 + * Support for FreeBSD 5.1/sparc64.
121 + * Bugs fixed in FreeBSD memory statistics.

127   libstatgrab 0.6 (09 October 2003)
128  
129   * saidar, a curses-based tool, has been added to give an overview of
# Line 12 | Line 138 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
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
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
144     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
