57 | > | The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux |

60 | > | this to include as many operating systems as possible. |
61 | </p> | |
62 | <p> | |
63 | < | This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
64 | < | of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
65 | < | this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
66 | < | we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
67 | < | for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
68 | < | compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
63 | > | The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The |
64 | > | first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a |
65 | > | curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |

77 | <p> | |
78 | < | The other main change in this release is a new function to |
79 | < | provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
80 | < | 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. |

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 |

90 | > | This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor |
91 | > | API change. More details have been added to the file |
92 | > | system statistics, linux partition detection has been |
93 | > | reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed. |
94 | > | Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7. |
95 | > | There are also manual pages for all the tools. |
96 | </p> | |
97 | <p> | |
98 | < | This release brings new features and new platforms. We've |
99 | < | added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, |
100 | < | etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o |
101 | < | errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for |
102 | < | 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. |
98 | > | The duplex value in the network interface statistics has |
99 | > | changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API. |
100 | > | We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before, |
101 | > | the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is |
102 | > | defined. |

125 | <p> | |
126 | < | This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file |
127 | < | descriptor leak was fixed. On Solaris some significant |
128 | < | speed increases were made to the disk mapping code, along |
129 | < | with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. Also, the |
130 | < | library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now |
138 | < | released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. |
126 | > | This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex |
127 | > | settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and |
128 | > | full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative |
129 | > | filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were |
130 | > | ignored. These have all been fixed. |

140 | < | This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial |

152 | < | names using cNtNdNsN names rather than the older sdN names. |
153 | < | There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations in |
154 | < | various places. Finally, a new function has been added to |
155 | < | make it quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab |
156 | < | may require on some operating systems. |
140 | > | This release brings support for HP-UX (version 11.11), and |
