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

87 +            Version 0.13 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
88 +            Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
89 +          </p>
90 +          <p>
91 +            This release mainly includes a bunch of bug fixes, but
92 +            also brings preliminary support for WIN32. We've also
93 +            added a few lines to the header file to make C++ linking
94 +            easier. Please see the NEWS file in the distribution for
95 +            full details.

101 +            Version 0.12 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
102 +            Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
103 +          </p>
104 +          <p>
105 +            This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor
106 +            API change. More details have been added to the file
107 +            system statistics, linux partition detection has been
108 +            reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
109 +            Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.
110 +            There are also manual pages for all the tools.
111 +          </p>
112 +          <p>
113 +            The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
114 +            changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
115 +            We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
116 +            the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
117 +            defined.
