56 <            Version 0.10 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
57 <            Download it

58            </p>
59            <p>
60 <            This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names
61 <            of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although
62 <            this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run
63 <            we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However,
64 <            for those who still need the old functions we have provided
64 <            compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details.
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>
66          <p>
67            The other main change in this release is a new function to
68            provide full details on currently running processes. See the
69            documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with
70            this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting
71            process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced
72            error reporting functions that allow calling applications to
73            see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error.
74          </p>
75          <p>
76            Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots
77            of areas of the code. This release does not include the python
78            bindings - they're now available as their own project called
79            <a href="/pystatgrab/">pystatgrab</a>.

70 <            pystatgrab, a new package containing a set of Python
71 <            bindings, has been released. Check out it's

74 >            This release brings support for HP-UX (version 11.11), and
75 >            also fixes a few other minor issues.
76            </p>
98          <p>
99            This release brings new features and new platforms. We've
100            added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed,
101            etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o
102            errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for
103            OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done
104            to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated
105            privileges. See the NEWS file for more information.

84            <p>
85 <            The main focus of this release is adding support for
86 <            Solaris 6. We've also added Python bindings so you can use
87 <            libstatgrab directly from Python (see the extras
120 <            directory). Finally, we've tidied up a few bits of the
121 <            code.
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

97 <            This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file
98 <            descriptor leak was fixed. On Solaris some significant
135 <            speed increases were made to the disk mapping code, along
136 <            with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. Also, the
137 <            library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
138 <            released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.

107            <p>
108 <            This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial
109 <            support for Cygwin. On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk
110 <            names using cNtNdNsN names rather than the older sdN names.
111 <            There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations in
112 <            various places. Finally, a new function has been added to
113 <            make it quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab
114 <            may require on some operating systems.
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

126 <            The most significant change in this release is support for

129 <            allow programs to drop any extra privileges libstatgrab
130 <            needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
131 <            and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.
