6 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
7 +
8 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
9 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
10 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
11 +
12 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
13 +     #include <statgrab.h>
14 +
15 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
16 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
17 +   for details.
18 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
19 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
20 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
21 +   associated functions.
22 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
23 + * Lots of code tidying.
24 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
25 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
26 +
27 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
28 +
29 + * Added network interface information:
30 +     speed, duplex, up/down.
31 + * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
32 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
33 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
34 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
35 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
36 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
37 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
38 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
39 +
40 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
41 +

100 +
101 + * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
102 + * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.

104 + * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
105 +   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
106 + * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
