<h3>Sunday 21 March 2004</h3> |

> |
has been released. Check out it's <a href="/pystatgrab/">project |

<p> |

Version 0.9 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
51 |

Download it |

53 |

</p> |
54 |
> |
<p> |
55 |
> |
This release brings new features and new platforms. We've added |
56 |
> |
information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, etc) along |
57 |
> |
with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o errors, and |
58 |
> |
collisions. Support has also been added for OpenBSD and DragonFly |
59 |
> |
BSD. Finally some work has been done to reduce the platforms on |
60 |
> |
which libstatgrab needs elevated privileges. See the NEWS file for |
61 |

more information. |

Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
67 |

Download it |
68 |

<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>. |
69 |
> |
</p> |
70 |
> |
<p> |
71 |
> |
The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6. |
72 |
> |
We've also added Python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly |
73 |
> |
from Python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a |
74 |
> |
few bits of the code. |
75 |

<h3>Wednesday 21 January 2004</h3> |
78 |

<p> |
79 |

Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
80 |
> |
Download it |
81 |

<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>. |
82 |
> |
</p> |
83 |
> |
<p> |
84 |
> |
This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was |
85 |
> |
fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the |
86 |
> |
disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. |
87 |
> |
Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now |
88 |
> |
released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. |

<h3>Tuesday 6 January 2004</h3> |

<p> |
93 |

Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
94 |

Download it |
95 |

<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>. |
96 |
> |
</p> |
97 |
> |
<p> |
98 |
> |
This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin. |
99 |
> |
On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather |
100 |
> |
than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations |
101 |
> |
in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it |
102 |
> |
quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some |
103 |
> |
operating systems. |
104 |

<h3>Wednesday 22 October 2003</h3> |

<p> |
108 |

Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
109 |

111 |

</p> |
112 |
> |
<p> |
113 |
> |
The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD |
114 |
> |
1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise |
115 |
> |
function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges |
116 |
> |
libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, |
117 |
> |
and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. Finally, |
118 |
> |
saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the |
119 |
> |
statistics. |

libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to |
174 |
|
</p> |
175 |
|
|
176 |
|
<p> |
177 |
< |
The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD |
178 |
< |
4.x/5.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems |
179 |
< |
as possible. |

183 |
|
<p> |
184 |
< |
The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar, |
185 |
< |
provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
186 |
< |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the |
187 |
< |
statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of |
188 |
< |
libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't |
189 |
< |
easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to |
190 |
< |
generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
191 |
< |
to use statgrab. |

The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual |
215 |
|
pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with |
216 |
|
the overview manual page: |

223 |
