This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
| 61 |
< |
of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
| 62 |
< |
this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
| 63 |
< |
we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
| 64 |
< |
for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
| 64 |
< |
compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
| 60 |
> |
This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex |
| 61 |
> |
settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and |
| 62 |
> |
full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative |
| 63 |
> |
filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were |
| 64 |
> |
ignored. These have all been fixed. |
| 65 |
|
</p> |
| 66 |
– |
<p> |
| 67 |
– |
The other main change in this release is a new function to |
| 68 |
– |
provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
| 69 |
– |
documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with |
| 70 |
– |
this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
| 71 |
– |
process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
| 72 |
– |
error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
| 73 |
– |
see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |
| 74 |
– |
</p> |
| 75 |
– |
<p> |
| 76 |
– |
Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots |
| 77 |
– |
of areas of the code. This release does not include the python |
| 78 |
– |
bindings - they're now available as their own project called |

This release brings new features and new platforms. We've |

– |
added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, |
| 101 |
– |
etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o |
| 102 |

errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for |
| 103 |
– |
OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done |
| 104 |

to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated |
| 105 |

privileges. See the NEWS file for more information. |

Solaris 6. We've also added Python bindings so you can use |
| 87 |

libstatgrab directly from Python (see the extras |

This release adds a handful of new features to statgrab, and |

descriptor leak was fixed. On Solaris some significant |
| 135 |
< |
speed increases were made to the disk mapping code, along |
| 136 |

with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. Also, the |
| 137 |
< |
library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now |
| 138 |
< |
released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. |

This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial |

support for Cygwin. On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk |
| 110 |
< |
names using cNtNdNsN names rather than the older sdN names. |
| 111 |
< |
There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations in |
| 112 |
< |
various places. Finally, a new function has been added to |
| 113 |
< |
make it quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab |
| 114 |
< |
may require on some operating systems. |
| 108 |

This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |
| 109 |

We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and |
| 110 |
> |
NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab |
| 111 |
> |
that broke network statistics on Solaris. New |
| 112 |

variables have been added to the pkg-config file to |
| 113 |

suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and |
| 114 |

we've added error reporting functions that store errno |
| 115 |

values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the |
