+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.
