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.

12 + * Fix memory stats on OpenBSD.
13 + * Add colour support to saidar.
14 +     (Thanks to Angelina Carlton)

31 + * Add WIN32 support using MINGW (not widely tested).

42 + * Fix compile error in network stats on Linux 2.6.
43 +     (Patches provided by Scott Lampert)
44 + * Change name of duplex value in network interface stats.
45 +     NOTE: this minor change breaks the API.
46 + * Manual pages for saidar, statgrab and the other tools.
47 + * Fix minor typo in statgrab usage output.
48 + * Support for Solaris 10.
49 + * Support for FreeBSD 7.

52 + * Add NFS to list of supported filesystems.
53 + * Fix reporting of network interface duplex settings on Linux.
54 + * Fix saidar to support negative FS usage.
55 +

59 + * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
60 + * Minor fixes to saidar.
61 + * Minor code cleanups and fixes to libstatgrab.
62 +
63 + libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
64 +
65 + * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
66 +   by an integer.
67 + * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
68 +   mebibytes or gibibytes.
69 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
70 +   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
71 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
72 +   speeds.
73 + * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
74 +
75 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
76 +
77 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
78 +

80 +
81 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
82 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
83 + * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).

93 +
94 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
95 +
96 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
97 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
98 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
99 +
100 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
101 +     #include <statgrab.h>
102 +
103 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
104 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
105 +   for details.
106 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
107 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
108 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
109 +   associated functions.
110 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
111 + * Lots of code tidying.
112 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
113 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
114 +
115 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
116 +
117 + * Added network interface information:
118 +     speed, duplex, up/down.

120 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
121 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
122 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
123 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
124 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
125 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
126 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
127 +
128 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
129 +
130 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
131 +
132 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
133 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.

136   libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
137  
138   * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
# Line 59 | Line 189 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
189   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
190   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
191     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
192 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
192 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
193     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
194   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
195     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
