+            This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor
+            API change. More details have been added to the file
+            system statistics, linux partition detection has been
+            reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
+            Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.

           <p>
-            This release brings new features and new platforms. We've
-            added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed,
-            etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o
-            errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for
-            OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done
-            to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated
-            privileges. See the NEWS file for more information.
+            The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
+            changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
+            We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
+            the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
+            defined.

-            This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file

-            speed increases were made to the disk mapping code, along
-            with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. Also, the
-            library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
-            released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.
+            This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex
+            settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and
+            full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative
+            filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were
+            ignored. These have all been fixed.

-            There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations in
-            various places. Finally, a new function has been added to
-            make it quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab

+            this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting
