41 > <h3>Sunday 21 March 2004</h3>
42 > <p>
43 > pystatgrab, a new package containing a set of Python bindings,
44 > has been released. Check out it's <a href="/pystatgrab/">project
45 > page</a>.
46 > </p>
47 >
48 > <h3>Wednesday 10 March 2004</h3>
49 > <p>
50 > Version 0.9 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
51 > Download it
52 > <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.9.tar.gz">here</a>.
53 > </p>
54 > <p>
55 > This release brings new features and new platforms. We've added
56 > information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, etc) along
57 > with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o errors, and
58 > collisions. Support has also been added for OpenBSD and DragonFly
59 > BSD. Finally some work has been done to reduce the platforms on
60 > which libstatgrab needs elevated privileges. See the NEWS file for
61 > more information.
62 > </p>
63 >
64 > <h3>Wednesday 11 February 2004</h3>
65 > <p>
66 > Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
67 > Download it
68 > <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>.
69 > </p>
70 > <p>
71 > The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6.
72 > We've also added Python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly
73 > from Python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a
74 > few bits of the code.
75 > </p>
76 >
77 > <h3>Wednesday 21 January 2004</h3>
78 > <p>
79 > Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
80 > Download it
81 > <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
82 > </p>
83 > <p>
84 > This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
85 > fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
86 > disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
87 > Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
88 > released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.
89 > </p>
90 >
91 > <h3>Tuesday 6 January 2004</h3>
92 > <p>
93 > Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
94 > Download it
95 > <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>.
96 > </p>
97 > <p>
98 > This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin.
99 > On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather
100 > than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations
101 > in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it
102 > quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some
103 > operating systems.
104 > </p>
105 >
106 > <h3>Wednesday 22 October 2003</h3>
107 > <p>
108 > Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
109 > Download it
110 > <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
111 > </p>
112 > <p>
113 > The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
114 > 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
115 > function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
116 > libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
117 > and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally,
118 > saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the
119 > statistics.
120 > </p>
121 >

184 < The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar,
185 < provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
186 < system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the
187 < statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of
188 < libstatgrab to people writting scripts and the link. Included with
189 < statgrab is a script to generate an
190 < <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file to use
191 < statgrab.

214   The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual
215   pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with
216   the overview manual page:

222
