Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br> |

The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD |
| 44 |
+ |
1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise |
| 45 |
+ |
function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges |
| 46 |
+ |
libstatgrab needs on BSD platforms. The list of known file systems has |
| 47 |
+ |
been increased, and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. |
| 48 |
+ |
Finally, saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the |
| 49 |
+ |
statistics. |

The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD |
| 102 |
< |
4.x/5.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems |
| 103 |

as possible. |

The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar, |
| 108 |
< |
provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
| 109 |
< |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the |
| 110 |
< |
statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of |
| 111 |
< |
libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't |
| 112 |
< |
easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to |
| 113 |
< |
generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
| 114 |
< |
to use statgrab. |
