56 | < | pystatgrab, a new package containing a set of Python |

63 | < | here</a>. |
60 | > | This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex |
61 | > | settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and |
62 | > | full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative |
63 | > | filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were |
64 | > | ignored. These have all been fixed. |
65 | </p> | |
63 | – | <p> |
64 | – | This release brings new features and new platforms. We've |
65 | – | added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, |
66 | – | etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o |
67 | – | errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for |
68 | – | OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done |
69 | – | to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated |
70 | – | privileges. See the NEWS file for more information. |

72 | </p> | |
73 | <p> | |
74 | < | The main focus of this release is adding support for |
75 | < | Solaris 6. We've also added Python bindings so you can use |
84 | < | libstatgrab directly from Python (see the extras |
85 | < | directory). Finally, we've tidied up a few bits of the |
86 | < | code. |
74 | > | This release brings support for HP-UX (version 11.11), and |
75 | > | also fixes a few other minor issues. |

83 | </p> | |
84 | <p> | |
85 | < | This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file |
86 | < | descriptor leak was fixed. On Solaris some significant |
87 | < | speed increases were made to the disk mapping code, along |
101 | < | with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. Also, the |
102 | < | library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now |
103 | < | released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. |
85 | > | This release adds a handful of new features to statgrab, and |
86 | > | adds support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT. See the NEWS file in |

96 | <p> | |
97 | < | This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial |
98 | < | support for Cygwin. On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk |
117 | < | names using cNtNdNsN names rather than the older sdN names. |
118 | < | There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations in |
119 | < | various places. Finally, a new function has been added to |
120 | < | make it quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab |
121 | < | may require on some operating systems. |
97 | > | This release fixes a problem with the shared library |

107 | <p> | |
108 | < | The most significant change in this release is support for |
109 | < | NetBSD 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been |
110 | < | optimised, and an initialise function has been added to |
111 | < | allow programs to drop any extra privileges libstatgrab |
112 | < | needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, |
113 | < | and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. |
114 | < | Finally, saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't |
115 | < | get all the statistics. |
108 | > | This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |
109 | > | We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and |
110 | > | NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab |
111 | > | that broke network statistics on Solaris. New |
112 | > | variables have been added to the pkg-config file to |
113 | > | suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and |
114 | > | we've added error reporting functions that store errno |
115 | > | values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the |
116 | > | NEWS file. |
