45 + <b>Wednesday 11 February 2004</b><br><br>
46 + Version 0.8.2 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-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>.
49 + 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.

56 + <b>Wednesday 21 January 2004</b><br><br>
57 + Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
58 + Download it
59 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
60 + 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.

68 + <b>Tuesday 6 January 2004</b><br><br>
69 + Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
70 + Download it
71 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>.
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.
78 + </p>
79 +
80 + <p>
81 + <b>Wednesday 22 October 2003</b><br><br>
82 + Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
83 + Download it
84 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
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
91 + statistics.
92 + </p>

95 + <b>Saturday 18 October 2003</b><br><br>
96 + Version 0.6.1 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-0.6.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
99 + This release brings support for FreeBSD 5 on sparc 64, and some
100 + bugfixes in FreeBSD memory statistics. Also, some fixes to saidar,
101 + and statgrab.
