46 < Version 0.9 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-0.9.tar.gz">here</a>.
49 < This release brings new features and new platforms. We've added
50 < information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, etc) along
51 < with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o errors, and
52 < collisions. Support has also been added for OpenBSD and DragonFly
53 < BSD. Finally some work has been done to reduce the platforms on
54 < which libstatgrab needs elevated privileges. See the NEWS file for
55 < more information.

62 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>.
63 < The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6.
64 < We've also added python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly
65 < from python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a
66 < few bits of the code.

70 < <b>Wednesday 21 January 2004</b><br><br>
71 < Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
72 < Download it
73 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
74 < This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
75 < fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
76 < disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
77 < Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
78 < released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.

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

97 < Download it
98 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
99 < The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
100 < 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
101 < function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
102 < libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
103 < and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally,
104 < saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the
105 < statistics.

140 < This release provides both documentation and examples, which
141 < we hope will make the package more useable. Stay tuned for the
142 < next release with some useful tools.
143 < </p>
144 <
145 < <a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a>
146 <
147 < <p>
148 < libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
149 < statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and
150 < presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access
151 < key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
152 < usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network
153 < traffic, disk I/O, and more.
154 < </p>
155 <
156 < <p>
157 < The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.2/2.4/2.6,
158 < FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, DragonFly BSD 1.0, and
159 < Cygwin. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating
160 < systems as possible.
161 < </p>
162 <
163 < <p>
164 < The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first,
165 < <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a curses-based interface to
166 < viewing the current state of the system. The second, statgrab, gives a
167 < sysctl-style interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
168 < extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything
169 < else that can't easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is
170 < a script to generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a>
171 < configuration file to use statgrab.
172 < </p>
173 <
174 < <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a>

176 < <p>
177 < The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our

192 <
193 < <p>
194 < The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual
195 < pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with

200 < </ul>
201 < </p>
202 <
