+Version 0.9 of libstatgrab has been released.
+Download it +here. +This release brings new features and new platforms. We've added +information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, etc) along +with further statistics such as i/o packets and i/o errors. Support +has also been added for OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some +work has been done to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab +needs elevated privileges. See the NEWS file for more information. +

+Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.
+Download it +here. +The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6. +We've also added python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly +from python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a +few bits of the code. +

+Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.
+Download it +here. +This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was +fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the +disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. +Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now +released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. +

+Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.
+Download it +here. +This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin. +On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather +than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations +in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it +quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some +operating systems. +

+Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.
+Download it +here. +The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD +1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise +function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges +libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, +and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. Finally, +saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the +statistics. +
