7 + * Add NFS to list of supported filesystems.
8 + * Fix reporting of network interface duplex settings on Linux.
9 + * Fix saidar to support negative FS usage.
10 +
11 + libstatgrab 0.11 (09 November 2004)
12 + * Add support for HP-UX 11.11.
13 +    (Patches provided by Roy Keene)
14 + * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
15 + * Minor fixes to saidar.
16 + * Minor code cleanups and fixes to libstatgrab.
17 +
18 + libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
19 +
20 + * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
21 +   by an integer.
22 + * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
23 +   mebibytes or gibibytes.
24 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
25 +   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
26 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
27 +   speeds.
28 + * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
29 +
30 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
31 +
32 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
33 +
34 + libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
35 +
36 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
37 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
38 + * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
39 + * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
40 + * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
41 +   on Solaris.
42 + * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
43 +   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.

45 + * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
46 +   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
47 + * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
48 +
49 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
50 +
51 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
52 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
53 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
54 +
55 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
56 +     #include <statgrab.h>
57 +
58 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
59 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
60 +   for details.
61 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
62 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
63 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
64 +   associated functions.
65 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
66 + * Lots of code tidying.
67 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
68 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
69 +
70 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
71 +
72 + * Added network interface information:
73 +     speed, duplex, up/down.
74 + * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
75 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
76 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
77 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
78 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
79 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
80 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
81 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
82 +
83 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
84 +
85 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
86 +
87 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
88 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.

96 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
97 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).

143 +
144 + * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
145 + * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
146 +   This results in it getting data for all the disks.

148 +   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
149 + * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have

170 +   connected.

173 +
174 + * Network statistics wraparound fix.
