45 + <b>Wednesday 10 March 2004</b><br><br>
46 + Version 0.9 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
47 + Download it
48 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.9.tar.gz">here</a>.
49 + 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 and i/o errors. Support
52 + has also been added for OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some
53 + work has been done to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab
54 + needs elevated privileges. See the NEWS file for more information.

58 + <b>Wednesday 11 February 2004</b><br><br>
59 + Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
60 + Download it
61 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>.
62 + The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6.
63 + We've also added python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly
64 + from python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a
65 + few bits of the code.
66 + </p>
67 +
68 + <p>
69 + <b>Wednesday 21 January 2004</b><br><br>
70 + Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
71 + Download it
72 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
73 + This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
74 + fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
75 + disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
76 + Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
77 + released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.
78 + </p>

81 + <b>Tuesday 6 January 2004</b><br><br>
82 + Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
83 + Download it
84 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>.
85 + This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin.
86 + On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather
87 + than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations
88 + in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it
89 + quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some
90 + operating systems.
91 + </p>
92 +
93 + <p>
94 + <b>Wednesday 22 October 2003</b><br><br>
95 + Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
96 + Download it
97 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
98 + The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
99 + 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
100 + function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
101 + libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
102 + and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally,
103 + saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the
104 + statistics.

108 + <b>Saturday 18 October 2003</b><br><br>
109 + Version 0.6.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>

111 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.6.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
112 + This release brings support for FreeBSD 5 on sparc 64, and some
113 + bugfixes in FreeBSD memory statistics. Also, some fixes to saidar,
114 + and statgrab.
