6 libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 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 * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
17
18 libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
19
20 * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
21
22 libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
23
24 * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
25 * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
26 * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
27 * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
28 * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
29 on Solaris.
30 * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
31 ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
32 * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
33 * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
34 don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
35 * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
36
37 libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
38
39 * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
40 naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
41 programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
42
43 #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
44 #include <statgrab.h>
45
46 * New process stats function added to provide full details
47 on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
48 for details.
49 * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
50 statistics. These can be used with qsort.
51 * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
52 associated functions.
53 * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
54 * Lots of code tidying.
55 * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
56 http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
57
58 libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
59
60 * Added network interface information:
61 speed, duplex, up/down.
62 * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
63 i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
64 * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
65 * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
66 * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
67 FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
68 (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
69 * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
70
71 * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
72
73 libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
74
75 * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
76 * Python bindings available in extras directory.
77 * Some tidying up of code.
78
79 libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)

83 * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
84 * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
85 * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
86 * Some incorrect #includes moved.
87 * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
88 statgrab_init, which improves startup time.

102
103 * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.

136 to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
137 * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
138 been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
