 The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6. | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 50 | 
 + | 
 We've also added python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 51 | 
 + | 
 from python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 52 | 
 + | 
 few bits of the code. |

 This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 61 | 
 + | 
 fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 62 | 
 + | 
 disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 63 | 
 + | 
 Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 64 | 
 + | 
 released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. |

 | 72 | 
 + | 
 This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin. | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 73 | 
 + | 
 On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 74 | 
 + | 
 than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 75 | 
 + | 
 in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 76 | 
 + | 
 quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 77 | 
 + | 
 operating systems. |

 | 85 | 
 + | 
 The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 86 | 
 + | 
 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 87 | 
 + | 
 function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 88 | 
 + | 
 libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 89 | 
 + | 
 and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally, | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 90 | 
 + | 
 saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the |

 statistics. |
