+ This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex
+ settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and
+ full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative
+ filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were
+ ignored. These have all been fixed.
- This release brings new features and new platforms. We've - added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, - etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o - errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for - OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done - to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated - privileges. See the NEWS file for more information. -

+ Version 0.11 of libstatgrab has been released.

- The main focus of this release is adding support for - Solaris 6. We've also added Python bindings so you can use - libstatgrab directly from Python (see the extras - directory). Finally, we've tidied up a few bits of the - code. + This release brings support for HP-UX (version 11.11), and + also fixes a few other minor issues.

+ Version 0.10.3 of libstatgrab has been released.
+ Download it from one of our mirrors.
- This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file - descriptor leak was fixed. On Solaris some significant - speed increases were made to the disk mapping code, along - with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. Also, the - library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now - released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. + This release adds a handful of new features to statgrab, and + adds support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT. See the NEWS file in + the tarball for more details.

+ Version 0.10.2 of libstatgrab has been released.
+ Download it from one of our mirrors.
- This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial - support for Cygwin. On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk - names using cNtNdNsN names rather than the older sdN names. - There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations in - various places. Finally, a new function has been added to - make it quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab - may require on some operating systems. + This release fixes a problem with the shared library + version number in the last release.

+ Version 0.10.1 of libstatgrab has been released.
+ Download it from one of our mirrors.
- The most significant change in this release is support for - NetBSD 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been - optimised, and an initialise function has been added to - allow programs to drop any extra privileges libstatgrab - needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, - and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. - Finally, saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't - get all the statistics. + 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.

+ Version 0.10 of libstatgrab has been released.
+ Download it from one of our mirrors.
- This release brings support for FreeBSD 5 on sparc 64, and - some bugfixes in FreeBSD memory statistics. Also, some - fixes to saidar, and statgrab. + 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.

- Version 0.6 of libstatgrab has been released.
- You can download it from our mirror site

+ 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.
- This release includes some exciting new tools, support for - FreeBSD 5.1, and documentation in manpages. Plus some major - bugfixes and packaging enhancements. + 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 + pystatgrab.
