+<h3>Sunday 21 March 2004</h3>
+<p>
+pystatgrab, a new package containing a set of Python bindings,
+has been released. Check out it's <a href="/pystatgrab/">project
+page</a>.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Wednesday 10 March 2004</h3>
+<p>
+Version 0.9 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
+Download it
+<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.9.tar.gz">here</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.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Wednesday 11 February 2004</h3>
+<p>
+Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
+Download it
+<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</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.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Wednesday 21 January 2004</h3>
+<p>
+Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
+Download it
+<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+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.
+</p>

+<h3>Tuesday 6 January 2004</h3>
+<p>
+Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
+Download it
+<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</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.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Wednesday 22 October 2003</h3>
+<p>
+Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
+Download it
+<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
+1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
+function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
+libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
+and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. Finally,
+saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the
+statistics.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Saturday 18 October 2003</h3>
+<p>
+Version 0.6.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/>
+Download it
+<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.6.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+This release brings support for FreeBSD 5 on sparc 64, and some
+bugfixes in FreeBSD memory statistics. Also, some fixes to saidar,
+and statgrab.

-The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar,
-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.

The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual
pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with
the overview manual page:

<ul>
<li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li>
</ul>
-</p>

Then we have the manual pages for each function:
