50 > information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, etc) along
51 > with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o errors, and
52 > collisions. Support has also been added for OpenBSD and DragonFly
53 > BSD. Finally some work has been done to reduce the platforms on
54 > which libstatgrab needs elevated privileges. See the NEWS file for
55 > more information.

63 > The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6.
64 > We've also added python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly
65 > from python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a
66 > few bits of the code.

74 > This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
75 > fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
76 > disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
77 > Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
78 > released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.

86 > This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin.
87 > On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather
88 > than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations
89 > in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it
90 > quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some
91 > operating systems.

99 > The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
100 > 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
101 > function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
102 > libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
103 > and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally,
