45 + <b>Wednesday 11 February 2004</b><br><br>
46 + Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
47 + Download it
48 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>.
49 + The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6. We've also
50 + add python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly from python (see the
51 + extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a few bits of the code.
52 + </p>
53 +

55 + <b>Wednesday 21 January 2004</b><br><br>
56 + Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
57 + Download it
58 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
59 + This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
60 + fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
61 + disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
62 + Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
63 + released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.

67 + <b>Tuesday 6 January 2004</b><br><br>
68 + Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
69 + Download it
70 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>.
71 + This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin.
72 + On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather
73 + than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations
74 + in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it
75 + quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some
76 + operating systems.
77 + </p>
78 +
79 + <p>
80 + <b>Wednesday 22 October 2003</b><br><br>
81 + Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
82 + Download it
83 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
84 + The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
85 + 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
86 + function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
87 + libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
88 + and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally,
89 + saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the
90 + statistics.
91 + </p>
92 +
93 + <p>
94 + <b>Saturday 18 October 2003</b><br><br>
95 + Version 0.6.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
96 + Download it
97 + <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.6.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
98 + This release brings support for FreeBSD 5 on sparc 64, and some
99 + bugfixes in FreeBSD memory statistics. Also, some fixes to saidar,
100 + and statgrab.
