6 + libstatgrab 0.10.3 (23 August 2004)
7 +
8 + * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
9 +  by an integer.
10 + * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
11 +  mebibytes or gibibytes.
12 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
13 +  large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
14 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
15 +  speeds.
16 +
17 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
18 +
19 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
20 +
21 + libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
22 +
23 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
24 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
25 + * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
26 + * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
27 + * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
28 +   on Solaris.
29 + * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
30 +   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
31 + * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
32 + * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
33 +   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
34 + * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
35 +
36 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
37 +
38 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
39 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
40 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
41 +
42 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
43 +     #include <statgrab.h>
44 +
45 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
46 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
47 +   for details.
48 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
49 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
50 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
51 +   associated functions.
52 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
53 + * Lots of code tidying.
54 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
55 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
56 +
57 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
58 +
59 + * Added network interface information:
60 +     speed, duplex, up/down.
61 + * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
62 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
63 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
64 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
65 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
66 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
67 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
68 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
69 +
70 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
71 +
72 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
73 +
74 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
75 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.
76 + * Some tidying up of code.
77 +
78 + libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
79 +
80 + * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
81 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
82 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
83 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
84 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
85 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
86 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
87 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
88 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
89 +
90 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
91 +
92 + * Support for Linux 2.6.
93 + * Support for Cygwin.

95 + * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
96 + * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
97 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
98 +   (after using the init function)
99 +
100 + libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
101 +
102 + * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.

119 +
120 + libstatgrab 0.6 (09 October 2003)

130 +
131 + * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
132 + * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
133 +   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
134 + * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
135 +   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
136 + * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
137 +   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.

153 + libstatgrab 0.3.3 (22 March 2003)
154 +
155 + * Network statistics wraparound code was broken on interfaces that
156 +   transfered no data - typically second interfaces that weren't
157 +   connected.
158 +
159 + libstatgrab 0.3.2 (21 March 2003)
160 +
161 + * Network statistics wraparound fix.
