45 + <b>Wednesday 21 January 2004</b><br><br>
46 + Version 0.8.1 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-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
49 + This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
50 + fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
51 + disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
52 + Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
53 + released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.

58 + Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
59 + Download it
60 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>.
61 + This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin.
62 + On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather
63 + than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations
64 + in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it
65 + quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some
66 + operating systems.
67 + </p>
68 +
69 + <p>
70 + <b>Wednesday 22 October 2003</b><br><br>
71 + Version 0.7 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-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
74 + The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
75 + 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
76 + function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
77 + libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
78 + and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally,
79 + saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the
80 + statistics.
