6 > libstatgrab 0.11 (09 November 2004)
7 > * Add support for HP-UX 11.11.
8 >    (Patches provided by Roy Keene)
9 > * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
10 > * Minor fixes to saidar.
11 > * Minor code cleanups and fixes to libstatgrab.
12 >
13 > libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
14 >
15 > * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
16 >   by an integer.
17 > * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
18 >   mebibytes or gibibytes.
19 > * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
20 >   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
21 > * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
22 >   speeds.
23 > * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
24 >
25 > libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
26 >
27 > * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
28 >
29 > libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
30 >
31 > * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
32 > * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
33 > * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
34 > * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
35 > * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
36 >   on Solaris.
37 > * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
38 >   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
39 > * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
40 > * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
41 >   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
42 > * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
43 >
44 > libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
45 >
46 > * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
47 >   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
48 >   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
49 >
50 >     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
51 >     #include <statgrab.h>
52 >
53 > * New process stats function added to provide full details
54 >   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
55 >   for details.
56 > * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
57 >   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
58 > * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
59 >   associated functions.
60 > * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
61 > * Lots of code tidying.
62 > * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
63 >     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
64 >
65 > libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
66 >
67 > * Added network interface information:
68 >     speed, duplex, up/down.
69 > * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
70 >     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
71 > * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
72 > * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
73 > * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
74 >     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
75 >     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
76 > * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
77 >
78 > * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
79 >
80 > libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
81 >
82 > * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
83 > * Python bindings available in extras directory.
84 > * Some tidying up of code.

139 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
140 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
141 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
142 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
143 >   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
144 > * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
145 >   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
