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

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. |

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, |
104 |
> |
saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the |
105 |
> |
statistics. |

The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar, |
165 |
< |
provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
166 |

system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the |
167 |

statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of |
168 |

libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't |

170 |

generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
171 |

to use statgrab. |
