45 + <b>Wednesday 10 March 2004</b><br><br>
46 + Version 0.9 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
47 + Download it
48 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.9.tar.gz">here</a>.
49 + This release brings new features and new platforms. We've added
50 + information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, etc) along
51 + with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o errors, and
52 + collisions. Support has also been added for OpenBSD and DragonFly
53 + BSD. Finally some work has been done to reduce the platforms on
54 + which libstatgrab needs elevated privileges. See the NEWS file for
55 + more information.
56 + </p>

59 + <b>Wednesday 11 February 2004</b><br><br>
60 + Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
61 + Download it
62 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>.
63 + The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6.
64 + We've also added python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly
65 + from python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a
66 + few bits of the code.
67 + </p>
68 +
69 + <p>
70 + <b>Wednesday 21 January 2004</b><br><br>
71 + Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
72 + Download it
73 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
74 + This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
75 + fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
76 + disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
77 + Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
78 + released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.
79 + </p>
80 +
81 + <p>
82 + <b>Tuesday 6 January 2004</b><br><br>
83 + Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
84 + Download it
85 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>.
86 + This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin.
87 + On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather
88 + than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations
89 + in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it
90 + quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some
91 + operating systems.
92 + </p>
93 +
94 + <p>
95 + <b>Wednesday 22 October 2003</b><br><br>
96 + Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
97 + Download it
98 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
99 + The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
100 + 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
101 + function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
102 + libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
103 + and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally,
104 + saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the
105 + statistics.
