Also + a minor fix to statgrab-make-mrtg-config on machines with + no swap, and added support for FreeBSD 8. + </p> + <h3> + Saturday 14 July 2007 + </h3> + <p> + Version 0.15 of libstatgrab has been released.<br /> + Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>. + </p> + <p> + This release fixes a regression introduced on OpenBSD in + the last release - memory statistics were reported + incorrectly.

We've also + added a few lines to the header file to make C++ linking + easier. Please see the NEWS file in the distribution for + full details. + </p> + <h3> + Sunday 31 July 2005 + </h3> + <p> + Version 0.12 of libstatgrab has been released.<br /> + Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>. + </p> + <p> + 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. + There are also manual pages for all the tools. + </p> + <p> + 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. + </p> + <h3> + Tuesday 26 April 2005 + </h3> + <p> + Official libstatgrab packages for Debian now + <a href="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/libstatgrab">available</a>. + </p> + <p> + Thanks to the work of + <a href="mailto:fenio@debian.org">Bartosz Fenski</a> + libstatgrab is now available on debian.

Duplex + settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and + full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative + filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were + ignored.

New + variables have been added to the pkg-config file to + suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and + we've added error reporting functions that store errno + values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the + NEWS file. + </p> + <h3> + Thursday 20 May 2004 + </h3> + <p> + Version 0.10 of libstatgrab has been released.<br /> + Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>. + </p> + <p> + This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names + of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although + this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run + we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, + for those who still need the old functions we have provided + compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. + </p> + <p> + The other main change in this release is a new function to + provide full details on currently running processes. See the + documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with + this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting + process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced + error reporting functions that allow calling applications to + see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. + </p> + <p> + Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots + of areas of the code.
