          <p>
            libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform
            access to statistics about the system on which it's run.
            It's written in C and presents a selection of useful
            interfaces which can be used to access key system
            statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
            usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
            network traffic, disk I/O, and more.
          </p>
          <p>
            The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux
            2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x,
            DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend
            this to include as many operating systems as possible.
          </p>
          <p>
            The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The
            first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a
            curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
            system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style
            interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
            extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or
            anything else that can't easily make C function calls.
            Included with statgrab is a script to generate an
            <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
            to use statgrab.

            This release adds support for FreeBSD 9 and other systems
            using utmpx. Also on FreeBSD it fixes an issue with large
            quantities of memory and adds support for dynamically
            getting a list of supported file systems. On Solaris ZFS
            file systems will now be detected. And finally on Linux CPU
            iowait information will be given where available.

            system statistics, linux partition detection has been
            reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
            Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.

            The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
            changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
            We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
            the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
            defined.

            This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes.
            We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and
            NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab
            that broke network statistics on Solaris. New
            variables have been added to the pkg-config file to
            suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and
            we've added error reporting functions that store errno
            values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the
            NEWS file.

          <p>
            This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names
            of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although
            this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run
            we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However,
            for those who still need the old functions we have provided
            compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details.
          </p>
          <p>
            The other main change in this release is a new function to
            provide full details on currently running processes. See the
            documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with
            this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting
            process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced
            error reporting functions that allow calling applications to
            see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error.
          </p>
          <p>
            Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots
            of areas of the code. This release does not include the python
            bindings - they're now available as their own project called

47			<p>
48			libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform
49			access to statistics about the system on which it's run.
50			It's written in C and presents a selection of useful
51			interfaces which can be used to access key system
52			statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
53			usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
54			network traffic, disk I/O, and more.
55			</p>
56			<p>
57			The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux
58			2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x,
59			DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend
60			this to include as many operating systems as possible.
61			</p>
62			<p>
63			The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The
64			first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a
65			curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
66			system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style
67			interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
68			extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or
69			anything else that can't easily make C function calls.
70			Included with statgrab is a script to generate an
71			<a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
72			to use statgrab.

83	tdb	1.52	Sunday 21 February 2010
84			</h3>
85			<p>
86			Version 0.17 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
87			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
88			</p>
89			<p>
90			This release adds support for FreeBSD 9 and other systems
91			using utmpx. Also on FreeBSD it fixes an issue with large
92			quantities of memory and adds support for dynamically
93			getting a list of supported file systems. On Solaris ZFS
94			file systems will now be detected. And finally on Linux CPU
95			iowait information will be given where available.

105			<h3>
106	tdb	1.50	Monday 17 March 2008
107			</h3>
108			<p>
109			Version 0.16 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
110			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
111			</p>
112			<p>
113			This release fixes some minor build problems on Solaris
114			with Sun's compiler, and on the Debian "armel" port. Also
115			a minor fix to statgrab-make-mrtg-config on machines with
116			no swap, and added support for FreeBSD 8.
117			</p>
118			<h3>
119	tdb	1.48	Saturday 14 July 2007
120			</h3>
121			<p>
122			Version 0.15 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
123			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
124			</p>
125			<p>
126			This release fixes a regression introduced on OpenBSD in
127			the last release - memory statistics were reported
128			incorrectly. Some other minor changes have been made, see
129			the NEWS file for more information.
130			</p>
131			<h3>
132	tdb	1.45	Monday 8 January 2007
133			</h3>
134			<p>
135			Version 0.14 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
136			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
137			</p>
138			<p>
139			This release contains mainly bugfixes - see the NEWS file
140	tdb	1.46	in the distribution for a full list. It also brings a new
141			feature in saidar: colour support, which can be activated
142			with the -c runtime flag.
143	tdb	1.45	</p>
144			<h3>
145	tdb	1.43	Monday 20 March 2006
146			</h3>
147			<p>
148			Version 0.13 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
149			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
150			</p>
151			<p>
152			This release mainly includes a bunch of bug fixes, but
153			also brings preliminary support for WIN32. We've also
154			added a few lines to the header file to make C++ linking
155			easier. Please see the NEWS file in the distribution for
156			full details.
157			</p>
158			<h3>
159	tdb	1.40	Sunday 31 July 2005
160			</h3>
161			<p>
162			Version 0.12 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
163			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
164			</p>
165			<p>
166			This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor
167			API change. More details have been added to the file
168			system statistics, linux partition detection has been
169			reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
170			Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.
171			There are also manual pages for all the tools.
172			</p>
173			<p>
174			The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
175			changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
176			We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
177			the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
178			defined.
179			</p>

202			This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex
203			settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and
204			full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative
205			filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were
206			ignored. These have all been fixed.

228			adds support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT. See the NEWS file in
229			the tarball for more details.

242			<h3>
243	tdb	1.27	Monday 26 July 2004

246			Version 0.10.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
247	tdb	1.29	Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
248	tdb	1.27	</p>
249			<p>
250			This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes.
251			We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and
252			NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab
253			that broke network statistics on Solaris. New
254			variables have been added to the pkg-config file to
255			suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and
256			we've added error reporting functions that store errno
257			values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the
258			NEWS file.
259			</p>
260			<h3>
261	tdb	1.24	Thursday 20 May 2004
262			</h3>
263			<p>
264			Version 0.10 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
265	tdb	1.29	Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
266	tdb	1.24	</p>
267			<p>
268			This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names
269			of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although
270			this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run
271			we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However,
272			for those who still need the old functions we have provided
273			compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details.
274			</p>
275			<p>
276			The other main change in this release is a new function to
277			provide full details on currently running processes. See the
278			documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with
279			this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting
280			process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced
281			error reporting functions that allow calling applications to
282			see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error.
283			</p>
284			<p>
285			Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots
286			of areas of the code. This release does not include the python
287			bindings - they're now available as their own project called
288			<a href="/pystatgrab/">pystatgrab</a>.
