+ </h2>
+ <p>
+ libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform
+ access to statistics about the system on which it's run.
+ It's written in C and presents a selection of useful
+ interfaces which can be used to access key system
+ statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
+ usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
+ network traffic, disk I/O, and more.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux
+ 2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x,
+ DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend
+ this to include as many operating systems as possible.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The
+ first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a
+ curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
+ system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style
+ interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
+ extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or
+ anything else that can't easily make C function calls.
+ Included with statgrab is a script to generate an
+ <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
+ to use statgrab.

+ Official libstatgrab packages for Debian now

+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Thanks to the work of
+ <a href="mailto:fenio@debian.org">Bartosz Fenski</a>
+ libstatgrab is now available on debian. This replaces our
+ unofficial debian packages which will no longer be
+ updated.

+ Version 0.11.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
+ Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex

+ full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative
+ filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were
+ ignored. These have all been fixed.

- Version 0.9 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
- Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
- </p>
- <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.

- Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- The main focus of this release is adding support for
- Solaris 6. We've also added Python bindings so you can use
- libstatgrab directly from Python (see the extras
- directory). Finally, we've tidied up a few bits of the
- code.

- This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file
- descriptor leak was fixed. On Solaris some significant
- 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.

- Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial
- support for Cygwin. On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk
- names using cNtNdNsN names rather than the older sdN names.
- 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
- may require on some operating systems.
