46	+	</h2>
47	+	<p>
48	+	libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform
49	+	access to statistics about the system on which it's run.
50	+	It's written in C and presents a selection of useful
51	+	interfaces which can be used to access key system
52	+	statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
53	+	usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
54	+	network traffic, disk I/O, and more.
55	+	</p>
56	+	<p>
57	+	The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux
58	+	2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x,
59	+	DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend
60	+	this to include as many operating systems as possible.
61	+	</p>
62	+	<p>
63	+	The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The
64	+	first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a
65	+	curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
66	+	system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style
67	+	interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
68	+	extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or
69	+	anything else that can't easily make C function calls.
70	+	Included with statgrab is a script to generate an
71	+	<a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
72	+	to use statgrab.

85	+	<p>
86	+	Official libstatgrab packages for Debian now
87	+	<a href="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/libstatgrab">available</a>.
88	+	</p>
89	+	<p>
90	+	Thanks to the work of
91	+	<a href="mailto:fenio@debian.org">Bartosz Fenski</a>
92	+	libstatgrab is now available on debian. This replaces our
93	+	unofficial debian packages which will no longer be
94	+	updated.
95	+	</p>
96	+	<h3>
97	+	Thursday 3 March 2005
98	+	</h3>
99	+	<p>
100	+	Version 0.11.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
101	+	Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
102	+	</p>
103	+	<p>
104	+	This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex
105	+	settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and
106	+	full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative
107	+	filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were
108	+	ignored. These have all been fixed.

150	–	This release brings new features and new platforms. We've
151	–	added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed,
152	–	etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o
153	–	errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for
154	–	OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done
155	–	to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated
156	–	privileges. See the NEWS file for more information.

166	–	The main focus of this release is adding support for

182	–	speed increases were made to the disk mapping code, along
183	–	with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. Also, the
