46 | + | Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.<br> |
47 | + | Download it |
48 | + | <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>. |
49 | + | The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6. We've also |
50 | + | add python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly from python (see the |
51 | + | extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a few bits of the code. |

56 | + | Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br> |
57 | + | Download it |
58 | + | <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>. |
59 | + | This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was |
60 | + | fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the |
61 | + | disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. |
62 | + | Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now |
63 | + | released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. |

68 | + | Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br> |

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

81 | + | Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br> |

83 | + | <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>. |
84 | + | The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD |
85 | + | 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise |
86 | + | function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges |
87 | + | libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, |
88 | + | and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. Finally, |
89 | + | saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the |
90 | + | statistics. |

98 | + | This release brings support for FreeBSD 5 on sparc 64, and some |
99 | + | bugfixes in FreeBSD memory statistics. Also, some fixes to saidar, |
100 | + | and statgrab. |
