Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.<br> |
| 47 |
+ |

<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>. |

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. |

Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br> |

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. |

| 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. |

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 on BSD platforms. The list of known file systems has |
| 89 |
< |
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 |
