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

<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>. |
49 |
+ |
This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was |
50 |
+ |
fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the |
51 |
+ |
disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. |
52 |
+ |
Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now |
53 |
+ |
released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. |

61 |
+ |
This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin. |
62 |
+ |
On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather |
63 |
+ |
than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations |
64 |
+ |
in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it |
65 |
+ |
quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some |
66 |
+ |
operating systems. |

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

74 |
+ |
The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD |
75 |
+ |
1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise |
76 |
+ |
function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges |
77 |
+ |
libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, |
78 |
+ |
and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. Finally, |
79 |
+ |
saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the |
80 |
+ |
statistics. |

The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD |

4.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems as |

The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar, |
139 |
< |
provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
140 |
< |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the |
141 |
< |
statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of |
142 |
< |
libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't |
143 |

easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to |
144 |

generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
145 |

to use statgrab. |
