48 +          <p>
49 +            libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform
50 +            access to statistics about the system on which it's run.
51 +            It's written in C and presents a selection of useful
52 +            interfaces which can be used to access key system
53 +            statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
54 +            usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
55 +            network traffic, disk I/O, and more.
56 +          </p>
57 +          <p>
58 +            The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux
59 +            2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x,
60 +            DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend
61 +            this to include as many operating systems as possible.
62 +          </p>
63 +          <p>
64 +            The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The
65 +            first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a
66 +            curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
67 +            system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style
68 +            interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
69 +            extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or
70 +            anything else that can't easily make C function calls.
71 +            Included with statgrab is a script to generate an
72 +            <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
73 +            to use statgrab.

87 +            Version 0.17 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />

89 +          </p>
90 +          <p>
91 +            This release adds support for FreeBSD 9 and other systems
92 +            using utmpx. Also on FreeBSD it fixes an issue with large
93 +            quantities of memory and adds support for dynamically
94 +            getting a list of supported file systems. On Solaris ZFS
95 +            file systems will now be detected. And finally on Linux CPU
96 +            iowait information will be given where available.

102 +            Dag Odenhall got in touch today to let us know he's written
103 +            <a href="http://statgrab.rubyforge.org/">Ruby bindings</a>
104 +            for libstatgrab. Thanks Dag!

110 +            Version 0.16 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
111 +            Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
112 +          </p>
113 +          <p>
114 +            This release fixes some minor build problems on Solaris
115 +            with Sun's compiler, and on the Debian "armel" port. Also
116 +            a minor fix to statgrab-make-mrtg-config on machines with
117 +            no swap, and added support for FreeBSD 8.

125 +          </p>
126 +          <p>
127 +            This release fixes a regression introduced on OpenBSD in
128 +            the last release - memory statistics were reported
129 +            incorrectly. Some other minor changes have been made, see
130 +            the NEWS file for more information.

139 +          <p>
140 +            This release contains mainly bugfixes - see the NEWS file
141 +            in the distribution for a full list. It also brings a new
142 +            feature in saidar: colour support, which can be activated
143 +            with the -c runtime flag.

152 +          <p>
153 +            This release mainly includes a bunch of bug fixes, but
154 +            also brings preliminary support for WIN32. We've also
155 +            added a few lines to the header file to make C++ linking
156 +            easier. Please see the NEWS file in the distribution for
157 +            full details.

169 +            system statistics, linux partition detection has been
170 +            reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
171 +            Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.
172 +            There are also manual pages for all the tools.

175 +            The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
176 +            changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
177 +            We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
