6 > PLANS: We're now working towards a 1.0 release which is where we plan
7 >       to stabilise the API. We'll be doing test releases before hand,
8 >       but as always we'll like to hear about any bugs found in the
9 >       current release.

81 >     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
82 >     #include <statgrab.h>
83 >

92 > * Lots of code tidying.
93 > * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
94 >     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
95 >
96 > libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
97 >

106 >     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
107 > * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
108 >
