22
- == 0.9.4 - 4-Mar-2014
23
- * Added support for AIX 5.3 or later courtesy of Rick Ohnemus.
24
- * The Solaris version now uses FFI structs instead of a packed array.
25
- It solved issues with 64-bit versions of Ruby and it's self-documenting.
26
- * The FreeBSD version has been converted to use FFI. In addition, additional
27
- struct members have been added, and members that previously returned nil
28
- now return meaningful data.
29
- * Support for NetBSD and OpenBSD has been temporarily dropped. Considering
30
- that the C code did not build on those platforms anyway, I doubt most of
31
- you will notice. Patches for those platforms are welcome, but only using FFI.

33
- == 0.9.3 - 17-Mar-2013
34
- * Fixed a bug on OSX where a long command string arg could cause
35
- a segfault. Thanks go to Nathaniel Bibler for the spot.
36
- * Changed the gem platform from mingw to mingw32 for Windows.
37
-
38
- == 0.9.2 - 8-Oct-2012
39
- * Added cmdline support for OS X. Thanks go to Matthias Zirnstein for
40

43
- with a two element array for Gem::Platform.new.
44
- * MS date strings are now parse with DateTime instead of Date.
45
-
46
- == 0.9.1 - 3-Aug-2011
47
- * Added the pctcpu and pctmem members for Linux.
48
- * Added Errno::ESRCH to a rescue clause on Linux that fixed a bug
49
- where a missing entry wasn't being skipped when run as root. Thanks
50
- go to Austin Ziegler for the spot and patch.
51
- * Fixed a build warning for Darwin.
52
- * Updates to the test suite for both Darwin and Linux.
53
- * Added an explicit type check for BSD for pids.
54
- * Added nicer error messages for BSD if kvm_open fails.
55
- * Added .core files to the clean task.
56
- * Altered the platform settings in the Rakefile so that generated gems
57
- use 'universal' platform architectures for any particular operating system.
58
-
59
- == 0.9.0 - 14-Oct-2009
60
- * Changed the license to Artistic 2.0.
61
- * Fixed a bug in the OS X code where a segfault would occur when an attempt
62
- was made to gather resource usage information on zombie processes. From
63
- now on that information is always set to nil for zombie processes. Thanks
64
- go to Tom Lianza for the spot and Philip Kromer for investigating the
65
- root cause of the failure.
66
- * Removed the FreeBSD code that read out of /proc. It was a pain from a
67
- maintenance point of view, and most FreeBSD installs do not mount /proc
68
- by default. The FreeBSD platform now uses the same code that the other
69
- BSD platforms use.
70
- * Fixed a bug in the BSD code where the ProcTable::Error class had the
71
- wrong parent class.
72
- * Some major gemspec updates, including an updated license. The platform
73
- handling logic is now in the Rakefile in the 'gem' task.
74
- * Updated the README file to include an additional acknowledgement, a
75
- license change and some minor formatting changes.
76
- * The test-unit library was changed from a runtime to a development dependency.
77
-
78
- == 0.8.1 - 6-Apr-2009
79
- * The Linux and Solaris libraries now handle the possibility of a process
80
- terminating in the middle of a read more gracefully. If that happens, they
81
- merely skip to the next record, i.e. it's all or nothing. Thanks go to
82
- Heejong Lee for the spot and patch.
83
- * Fixed a bug in the Linux version where embedded nulls were not being
84
- stripped out of the cmdline data.
85
- * Added the comm alias back to the Solaris version. Thanks go to Jun Young Kim
86
- for the spot.
87
-
88
- == 0.8.0 - 26-Jan-2009
89
- * The Linux and Solaris versions of this library are now pure Ruby. Be warned,
90
- however, that only Solaris 8 and later are now supported. This may change
91
- in a future release if there's demand to support 2.6 and 2.7.
92
- * Some Struct::ProcTableStruct members have changed. As a general rule they
93
- now more closely match the C struct member name. See individual platforms
94
- for more details.
95
- * Bug fix for the cmd_args struct member on Solaris.
96
- * Bug fixes for OS X. Added a VERSION constant, fixed struct name, and changed
97
- pct_cpu to pctcpu.
98
- * The .new method is now explicitly illegal.
99
- * The Struct::ProcTableStruct instances are now frozen. This is read-only data.
100
- * Added the peak_page_file_usage and status members on MS Windows. The status
101
- member is always nil, but was added for completeness.
102
- * Fixed the quota_peak_paged_pool_usage member on MS Windows.
103
- * ProcTableError is now ProcTable::Error.
104
- * Minor test case fix for kvm/bsd based versions.
105
- * Added the 'time' library as a require for Windows (to parse MS date/time
106
- format strings).
107
- * The kvm (bsd.c) implementation now works for FreeBSD 7.
108
- * Added many more tests.
109
- * Added some benchmarking code in the 'benchmarks' directory.
110
- * Added a 'bench' Rake task.
111
- * Renamed the test_ps.rb file to example_ps.rb in order to avoid any possible
112
- confusion with actual test files.
113
- * Added an 'example' rake task to run the example file.
114
-
115
- == 0.7.6 - 11-Jul-2007
116
- * Fixed the starttime for Linux. Thanks go to Yaroslav Dmitriev for the spot.
117
- * Fixed a bug in the MS Windows version within a private method that parsed
118
- an MS specific date format. This was caused by a backwards incompatible
119
- change in the Time.parse method in Ruby 1.8.6. See ruby-core: 11245 ff.
120
- * Fixed the gemspec (I hope). Please let me know if you have problems.
121
- * Added a Rakefile. Building, testing and installing should now be handled via
122
- Rake tasks. The install.rb file has been removed - that code is now
123
- integrated in the Rakefile.
124
- * Minor directory layout changes and cleanup (mostly for the extconf.rb file).
125
- * Side note - it seems that the code for OS X *does* work, at least on 10.4.10.
126
- I can only conclude that previous reports about it failing were related to
127
- bugs in OS X or were really just build issues. Apologies (and thanks, again)
128
- to David Felstead for the code. However, see the README for more information
129
- specific to OS X, as there are shortcomings.
130
-
131
- == 0.7.5 - 23-Nov-2006
132
- * Fixed int/long issues for Linux. Thanks go to Matt Lightner for the spot.
133
- * Minor documentation fixes and changes to the extconf.rb file.
134
-
135
- == 0.7.4 - 20-Nov-2006
136
- * Added a patch that deals with the large file compilation issue on Solaris.
137
- You no longer need to build Ruby with --disable-largefile, or build a
138
- 64 bit Ruby, in order for this package to work. Thanks go to Steven Jenkins
139
- for the information that led to the patch.
140
- * Added inline rdoc to the source code.
141
- * Added a gemspec.
142
- * Fixed some potential 64 bit issues (struct declarations).
143
- * Added preliminary support for Darwin (OS X). The code was provided by
144
- David Felstead, but does not appear to compile successfully. Help wanted.
145
-
146
- == 0.7.3 - 27-Oct-2005
147
- * Fix for 1.8.3 and later (rb_pid_t). This should have only affected
148
- Solaris.
149
-
150
- == 0.7.2 - 15-May-2005
151
- * Bug fix for the FreeBSD version that reads from /proc.
152
- * Eliminated the test bug on Linux (inexplicably caused by File.copy). The
153
- test suite should now run without segfaulting.
154
- * Include bsd.c in tarball (oops).
155
- * Minor test updates for FreeBSD.
156
- * The 'pct_cpu' member for the BSD/kvm version has been changed to 'pctcpu'
157
- for consistency with other platforms.
158
-
159
- == 0.7.1 - 8-May-2005
160
- * Bug fixed for the cmdline info on Linux. Thanks go to Arash Abedinzadeh
161
- for the spot.
162
- * Added an example program.
163
- * Minor setup fix for Win32 in tc_all.rb.
164
-
165
- == 0.7.0 - 25-Apr-2005
166
- * Scrapped the C implementation for Windows in favor of an OLE + WMI pure Ruby
167
- approach. See documentation for details.
168
- * Added an optional lkvm implementation for BSD users. This is automatically
169
- used if the /proc filesystem isn't found.
170
- * Added prusage info for the Solaris version.
171
- * Added name, eid, euid, gid and guid information for Linux. Thanks go to
172
- James Hranicky for the patch.
173
- * Fixed some potential bugs in the Linux version. Thanks go to James
174
- Hranicky for the spot.
175
- * Added the 'sys/top' package.
176
- * ProcTable.fields no longer supports a block form.
177
- * The BTIME (boot time) information has been removed from the Linux version.
178
- If you want that information, use sys-uptime instead.
179
- * The .html and .rd files have been removed. You can generate html on your
180
- own with rdoc if you like.
181
- * Some code cleanup on the C side of the house.
182
- * Most documents made rdoc friendly.
183
- * Renamed 'install_pure_ruby.rb' to just 'install.rb'.
184
- * Removed the 'INSTALL' file. Installation instructions are in the README.
185
- * Some test suite cleanup and reorganization.
186
- * Moved project to RubyForge.
187
-
188
- == 0.6.4 - 31-Mar-2004
189
- * Fixed a bug in the pure Ruby version for Win32. Thanks go to Mark Hudson
190
- for the spot.
191
- * Fixed a bug in the C implementation for Win32 where the cmdline and path
192
- values were sometimes wrong for running processes. Thanks go to Park Heesob
193
- for the fix.
194
- * Updated the VERSION constant and removed the VERSION class method in the
195
- pure Ruby version for Win32.
196
- * Updated install_pure_ruby.rb and test.rb scripts.
197
- * Updated warranty information.
198
- * The extconf.rb script has been revamped. See the INSTALL and README files
199
- for important changes since the last release.
200
- * The start ProcInfo struct member on Solaris, HP-UX and FreeBSD is now a
201
- Time object, not a Fixnum/Bignum.
202
- * Modified linux.c yet again to make gcc happy when it comes to multi-line
203
- string literals.
204
- * Minor change to way process state is handled on HP-UX.
205
- * Documentation additions and updates, including warranty information.
206
-
207
- == 0.6.3 - 24-Feb-2004
208
- * Fixed a bug in the Solaris version where the cmd_args array did not
209
- necessarily contain data on 2.7 and later. The current patch still
210
- does not quite fix the problem for 2.6 and earlier but can be easily
211
- derived manually by parsing the cmdline string.
212
-
213
- == 0.6.2 - 20-Jan-2004
214
- * Fixed a small memory leak in the solaris version.
215
-
216
- == 0.6.1 - 31-Dec-2003
217
- * Fixed a minor bug in the cmdline field on Linux where a blank character
218
- was being appended to the end of the field.
219
- * Fixed a minor annoyance where the windows.rb file was being copied into
220
- the Ruby lib directory on install.
221
- * Added a test_memleak.rb file. Currently only supported on Linux and
222
- only does a file descriptor count check. I plan to expand this to
223
- other platforms in the future.
224
- * Minor test suite changes
225
- * MANIFEST correction and update.
226
-
227
- == 0.6.0 - 22-Oct-2003
228
- * Significant API change (and thus, a version jump) - only a
229
- single argument is now accepted to the ps() method, and only a PID
230
- (Fixnum) is regarded as a valid argument.
231
- * Calling ps() with a pid returns a single ProcTable struct (or nil
232
- if the pid is not found), instead of a one element array.
233
- * Argument to ps() now works properly on HP-UX and Win32.
234
- * Removed the '#include <sys/types32.h>' in sunos.h. It wasn't needed
235
- and you're not supposed to include it directly.
236
- * Fixed 2.6 compatibility issue with regards to cmdline on Solaris.
237
- * Removed the ProcStatException completely on Linux. There was no reason
238
- to fail on a directory read for /proc/xxx/stat. If the read fails
239
- (meaning the process died in the middle of collecting info for it), it
240
- is simply ignored.
241
- * The ttynum bug on HPUX has been fixed. In addition, the return value for
242
- this field is now a string rather than an int and the field name has
243
- been changed to "ttydev".
244
- * The ttynum field has been changed to ttydev on Solaris and HPUX. On
245
- Solaris, the ttydev is now reported as -1 if there is no associated tty.
246
- In a future release, Solaris and the other *nix platforms will be changed
247
- so that ttydev is always a device name (i.e String).
248
- * Added plain text documentation for all platforms.
249
- * Some test suite cleanup.
250
- * Changed .rd2 extension to just '.rd'.
251
-
252
- == 0.5.2 - 18-Jul-2003
253
- * Modified cmdline to extend past the traditional 80 character limit on
254
- Solaris, where possible (Solaris 2.6+ only).
255
- * Added the cmdline_args and num_args fields on Solaris, which returns
256
- an array of cmdline arguments and the number of cmdline arguments,
257
- respectively.
258
- * Minor modification to fields() method, in addition to warning cleanup
259
- for Solaris.
260
- * Changed "defunct" state string to "zombie" for Solaris.
261
- * Should cleanly compile with -Wall -W now (gcc) on Solaris.
262
- * Added solaris.txt to doc directory.
263
- * MANIFEST corrections.
264
-
265
- == 0.5.1 - 16-Jul-2003
266
- * Fixed a nasty file descriptor bug in the Linux code, where file descriptors
267
- were continuously being used up.
268
- * Added the BTIME (boot time) constant for Linux.
269
- * Fixed up the test/test.rb file a bit.
270
- * Added BTIME tests to tc_linux.rb.
271
-
272
- == 0.5.0 - 11-Jul-200
273
- * Added HP-UX support!
274
- * Note that passing PID's or strings as arguments to ps() is not supported
275
- in the HP-UX version. This functionality will be stripped out of the
276
- other versions in a future release. See the README file for more details.
277
- * Removed the VERSION() class method. Use the constant instead.
278
- * Separated the rd docs from their respective source files. Now in the doc
279
- directory.
280
- * Got rid of the interactive html generation in extconf.rb.
281
- * Changed License to Artistic.
282
-
283
- == 0.4.3 - 30-May-2003
284
- * Added a version.h file to store the version number. Modified all of the
285
- C source files to use that instead of hard coding the version everywhere.
286
- * Added a generic test.rb script for those without TestUnit installed, or
287
- just futzing in general. Modified the extconf.rb script to copy this
288
- instead of writing an inline HERE document.
289
- * Modified extconf.rb so that it builds with mingw or cygwin. Thanks go to
290
- Peter Fischer for the spot and patch.
291
- * Modified test suite to work with TestUnit 0.1.6 or 0.1.8.
292
-
293
- == 0.4.2 - 14-Apr-2003
294
- * Added pure Ruby version for Win32 - thanks Park Heesob.
295
- * Modified extconf.rb file to handle pure Ruby versions.
296
- * Added install_pure_ruby.rb file, an alternate installation
297
- script for pure Ruby versions.
298
-
299
- == 0.4.1 - 31-Mar-2003
300
- * Added support for Solaris 2.5.x.
301
- * All exceptions are now a direct subclass of StandardError.
302
- * Value returned for wchan now more meaningful (2.5.x only for now).
303
- * Fixed the start, utime and ctime for FreeBSD.
304
- * Minor fix to FreeBSD test suite.
305
- * Some changes to extconf.rb.
306
- * Minor doc changes.
307
- * Added License and Copyright info.
308
-
309
- == 0.4.0 - 10-Mar-2003
310
- * Added MS Windows support (non-cygwin).
311
- * Added environment information for Linux version.
312
- * Added real exceptions (type depends on platform).
313
- * Added a test suite (for those with testunit installed).
314
- * Removed the sys-uname requirement.
315
- * Heavily modified the extconf.rb script.
316
- * Changed "Changelog" to "CHANGES" and "Manifest" to "MANIFEST".
317
- * Added a VERSION constant and class method.
318
- * Minor internal directory layout change (put 'os' under 'lib').
319
- * Changed package name to lower case.
320
- * Doc changes, including license information.
321
-
322
- == 0.3.1 - 16-Aug-2002
323
- * Added a "comm" field to the sunos version. I am going to try to make this a
324
- common field for all platforms to help reduce RUBY_PLATFORM checking.
325
- * Fixed the release date for 0.3.0 (was accidentally marked *July*).
326
- * Added an INSTALL file.
327
- * Minor documentation change to the sunos.c source file.
328
-
329
- == 0.3.0 - 11-Aug-2002
330
- * Added FreeBSD support!
331
- * Struct name changed to just "ProcTableStruct" to be compliant with future
332
- versions of Ruby.
333
- * The ps() function now returns an array of ProcTableStruct's in lvalue context.
334
- * Fixed the ability to search by process name in Linux.
335
- * Modified Linux "comm" field to strip parenthesis.
336
- * Some doc changes/additions.
337
- * Added Sean Chittenden to the "Acknowledgements" section. Sean provided me
338
- with access to a FreeBSD box, which is how I was able to provide FreeBSD
339
- support. Thanks Sean!
340
-
341
- == 0.2.0 - 19-Jul-2002
342
- * Added the ability to search by process name.
343
- * test.rb modified to be cross-platform.
344

30
+ * The Solaris version now uses FFI structs instead of a packed array.
31
+ It solved issues with 64-bit versions of Ruby and it's self-documenting.

+ * Added cmdline support for OS X. Thanks go to Matthias Zirnstein for
46
+ the patch.
47
+ * Warning cleanup for 1.9.
48
+ * Updated the gem platform handling. Replaced the borked string approach
49
+ with a two element array for Gem::Platform.new.
50
+ * MS date strings are now parse with DateTime instead of Date.
51
+
52
+ == 0.9.1 - 3-Aug-2011
53
+ * Added the pctcpu and pctmem members for Linux.
54
+ * Added Errno::ESRCH to a rescue clause on Linux that fixed a bug
55
+ where a missing entry wasn't being skipped when run as root. Thanks
56
+ go to Austin Ziegler for the spot and patch.
57
+ * Fixed a build warning for Darwin.
58
+ * Updates to the test suite for both Darwin and Linux.
59
+ * Added an explicit type check for BSD for pids.
60
+ * Added nicer error messages for BSD if kvm_open fails.
61
+ * Added .core files to the clean task.
62
+ * Altered the platform settings in the Rakefile so that generated gems
63
+ use 'universal' platform architectures for any particular operating system.
64
+
65
+ == 0.9.0 - 14-Oct-2009
66
+ * Changed the license to Artistic 2.0.
67
+ * Fixed a bug in the OS X code where a segfault would occur when an attempt
68
+ was made to gather resource usage information on zombie processes. From
69
+ now on that information is always set to nil for zombie processes. Thanks
70
+ go to Tom Lianza for the spot and Philip Kromer for investigating the
71
+ root cause of the failure.
72
+ * Removed the FreeBSD code that read out of /proc. It was a pain from a
73
+ maintenance point of view, and most FreeBSD installs do not mount /proc
74
+ by default. The FreeBSD platform now uses the same code that the other
75
+ BSD platforms use.
76
+ * Fixed a bug in the BSD code where the ProcTable::Error class had the
77
+ wrong parent class.
78
+ * Some major gemspec updates, including an updated license. The platform
79
+ handling logic is now in the Rakefile in the 'gem' task.
80
+ * Updated the README file to include an additional acknowledgement, a
81
+ license change and some minor formatting changes.
82
+ * The test-unit library was changed from a runtime to a development dependency.
83
+
84
+ == 0.8.1 - 6-Apr-2009
85
+ * The Linux and Solaris libraries now handle the possibility of a process
86
+ terminating in the middle of a read more gracefully. If that happens, they
87
+ merely skip to the next record, i.e. it's all or nothing. Thanks go to
88
+ Heejong Lee for the spot and patch.
89
+ * Fixed a bug in the Linux version where embedded nulls were not being
90
+ stripped out of the cmdline data.
91
+ * Added the comm alias back to the Solaris version. Thanks go to Jun Young Kim
92
+ for the spot.
93
+
94
+ == 0.8.0 - 26-Jan-2009
95
+ * The Linux and Solaris versions of this library are now pure Ruby. Be warned,
96
+ however, that only Solaris 8 and later are now supported. This may change
97
+ in a future release if there's demand to support 2.6 and 2.7.
98
+ * Some Struct::ProcTableStruct members have changed. As a general rule they
99
+ now more closely match the C struct member name. See individual platforms
100
+ for more details.
101
+ * Bug fix for the cmd_args struct member on Solaris.
102
+ * Bug fixes for OS X. Added a VERSION constant, fixed struct name, and changed
103
+ pct_cpu to pctcpu.
104
+ * The .new method is now explicitly illegal.
105
+ * The Struct::ProcTableStruct instances are now frozen. This is read-only data.
106
+ * Added the peak_page_file_usage and status members on MS Windows. The status
107
+ member is always nil, but was added for completeness.
108
+ * Fixed the quota_peak_paged_pool_usage member on MS Windows.
109
+ * ProcTableError is now ProcTable::Error.
110
+ * Minor test case fix for kvm/bsd based versions.
111
+ * Added the 'time' library as a require for Windows (to parse MS date/time
112
+ format strings).
113
+ * The kvm (bsd.c) implementation now works for FreeBSD 7.
114
+ * Added many more tests.
115
+ * Added some benchmarking code in the 'benchmarks' directory.
116
+ * Added a 'bench' Rake task.
117
+ * Renamed the test_ps.rb file to example_ps.rb in order to avoid any possible
118
+ confusion with actual test files.
119
+ * Added an 'example' rake task to run the example file.
120
+
121
+ == 0.7.6 - 11-Jul-2007
122
+ * Fixed the starttime for Linux. Thanks go to Yaroslav Dmitriev for the spot.
123
+ * Fixed a bug in the MS Windows version within a private method that parsed
124
+ an MS specific date format. This was caused by a backwards incompatible
125
+ change in the Time.parse method in Ruby 1.8.6. See ruby-core: 11245 ff.
126
+ * Fixed the gemspec (I hope). Please let me know if you have problems.
127
+ * Added a Rakefile. Building, testing and installing should now be handled via
128
+ Rake tasks. The install.rb file has been removed - that code is now
129
+ integrated in the Rakefile.
130
+ * Minor directory layout changes and cleanup (mostly for the extconf.rb file).
131
+ * Side note - it seems that the code for OS X *does* work, at least on 10.4.10.
132
+ I can only conclude that previous reports about it failing were related to
133
+ bugs in OS X or were really just build issues. Apologies (and thanks, again)
134
+ to David Felstead for the code. However, see the README for more information
135
+ specific to OS X, as there are shortcomings.
136
+
137
+ == 0.7.5 - 23-Nov-2006
138
+ * Fixed int/long issues for Linux. Thanks go to Matt Lightner for the spot.
139
+ * Minor documentation fixes and changes to the extconf.rb file.
140
+
141
+ == 0.7.4 - 20-Nov-2006
142
+ * Added a patch that deals with the large file compilation issue on Solaris.
143
+ You no longer need to build Ruby with --disable-largefile, or build a
144
+ 64 bit Ruby, in order for this package to work. Thanks go to Steven Jenkins
145
+ for the information that led to the patch.
146
+ * Added inline rdoc to the source code.
147
+ * Added a gemspec.
148
+ * Fixed some potential 64 bit issues (struct declarations).
149
+ * Added preliminary support for Darwin (OS X). The code was provided by
150
+ David Felstead, but does not appear to compile successfully. Help wanted.
151
+
152
+ == 0.7.3 - 27-Oct-2005
153
+ * Fix for 1.8.3 and later (rb_pid_t). This should have only affected
154
+ Solaris.
155
+
156
+ == 0.7.2 - 15-May-2005
157
+ * Bug fix for the FreeBSD version that reads from /proc.
158
+ * Eliminated the test bug on Linux (inexplicably caused by File.copy). The
159
+ test suite should now run without segfaulting.
160
+ * Include bsd.c in tarball (oops).
161
+ * Minor test updates for FreeBSD.
162
+ * The 'pct_cpu' member for the BSD/kvm version has been changed to 'pctcpu'
163
+ for consistency with other platforms.
164
+
165
+ == 0.7.1 - 8-May-2005
166
+ * Bug fixed for the cmdline info on Linux. Thanks go to Arash Abedinzadeh
167
+ for the spot.
168
+ * Added an example program.
169
+ * Minor setup fix for Win32 in tc_all.rb.
170
+
171
+ == 0.7.0 - 25-Apr-2005
172
+ * Scrapped the C implementation for Windows in favor of an OLE + WMI pure Ruby
173
+ approach. See documentation for details.
174
+ * Added an optional lkvm implementation for BSD users. This is automatically
175
+ used if the /proc filesystem isn't found.
176
+ * Added prusage info for the Solaris version.
177
+ * Added name, eid, euid, gid and guid information for Linux. Thanks go to
178
+ James Hranicky for the patch.
179
+ * Fixed some potential bugs in the Linux version. Thanks go to James
180
+ Hranicky for the spot.
181
+ * Added the 'sys/top' package.
182
+ * ProcTable.fields no longer supports a block form.
183
+ * The BTIME (boot time) information has been removed from the Linux version.
184
+ If you want that information, use sys-uptime instead.
185
+ * The .html and .rd files have been removed. You can generate html on your
186
+ own with rdoc if you like.
187
+ * Some code cleanup on the C side of the house.
188
+ * Most documents made rdoc friendly.
189
+ * Renamed 'install_pure_ruby.rb' to just 'install.rb'.
190
+ * Removed the 'INSTALL' file. Installation instructions are in the README.
191
+ * Some test suite cleanup and reorganization.
192
+ * Moved project to RubyForge.
193
+
194
+ == 0.6.4 - 31-Mar-2004
195
+ * Fixed a bug in the pure Ruby version for Win32. Thanks go to Mark Hudson
196
+ for the spot.
197
+ * Fixed a bug in the C implementation for Win32 where the cmdline and path
198
+ values were sometimes wrong for running processes. Thanks go to Park Heesob
199
+ for the fix.
200
+ * Updated the VERSION constant and removed the VERSION class method in the
201
+ pure Ruby version for Win32.
202
+ * Updated install_pure_ruby.rb and test.rb scripts.
203
+ * Updated warranty information.
204
+ * The extconf.rb script has been revamped. See the INSTALL and README files
205
+ for important changes since the last release.
206
+ * The start ProcInfo struct member on Solaris, HP-UX and FreeBSD is now a
207
+ Time object, not a Fixnum/Bignum.
208
+ * Modified linux.c yet again to make gcc happy when it comes to multi-line
209
+ string literals.
210
+ * Minor change to way process state is handled on HP-UX.
211
+ * Documentation additions and updates, including warranty information.
212
+
213
+ == 0.6.3 - 24-Feb-2004
214
+ * Fixed a bug in the Solaris version where the cmd_args array did not
215
+ necessarily contain data on 2.7 and later. The current patch still
216
+ does not quite fix the problem for 2.6 and earlier but can be easily
217
+ derived manually by parsing the cmdline string.
218
+
219
+ == 0.6.2 - 20-Jan-2004
220
+ * Fixed a small memory leak in the solaris version.
221
+
222
+ == 0.6.1 - 31-Dec-2003
223
+ * Fixed a minor bug in the cmdline field on Linux where a blank character
224
+ was being appended to the end of the field.
225
+ * Fixed a minor annoyance where the windows.rb file was being copied into
226
+ the Ruby lib directory on install.
227
+ * Added a test_memleak.rb file. Currently only supported on Linux and
228
+ only does a file descriptor count check. I plan to expand this to
229
+ other platforms in the future.
230
+ * Minor test suite changes
231
+ * MANIFEST correction and update.
232
+
233
+ == 0.6.0 - 22-Oct-2003
234
+ * Significant API change (and thus, a version jump) - only a
235
+ single argument is now accepted to the ps() method, and only a PID
236
+ (Fixnum) is regarded as a valid argument.
237
+ * Calling ps() with a pid returns a single ProcTable struct (or nil
238
+ if the pid is not found), instead of a one element array.
239
+ * Argument to ps() now works properly on HP-UX and Win32.
240
+ * Removed the '#include <sys/types32.h>' in sunos.h. It wasn't needed
241
+ and you're not supposed to include it directly.
242
+ * Fixed 2.6 compatibility issue with regards to cmdline on Solaris.
243
+ * Removed the ProcStatException completely on Linux. There was no reason
244
+ to fail on a directory read for /proc/xxx/stat. If the read fails
245
+ (meaning the process died in the middle of collecting info for it), it
246
+ is simply ignored.
247
+ * The ttynum bug on HPUX has been fixed. In addition, the return value for
248
+ this field is now a string rather than an int and the field name has
249
+ been changed to "ttydev".
250
+ * The ttynum field has been changed to ttydev on Solaris and HPUX. On
251
+ Solaris, the ttydev is now reported as -1 if there is no associated tty.
252
+ In a future release, Solaris and the other *nix platforms will be changed
253
+ so that ttydev is always a device name (i.e String).
254
+ * Added plain text documentation for all platforms.
255
+ * Some test suite cleanup.
256
+ * Changed .rd2 extension to just '.rd'.
257
+
258
+ == 0.5.2 - 18-Jul-2003
259
+ * Modified cmdline to extend past the traditional 80 character limit on
260
+ Solaris, where possible (Solaris 2.6+ only).
261
+ * Added the cmdline_args and num_args fields on Solaris, which returns
262
+ an array of cmdline arguments and the number of cmdline arguments,
263
+ respectively.
264
+ * Minor modification to fields() method, in addition to warning cleanup
265
+ for Solaris.
266
+ * Changed "defunct" state string to "zombie" for Solaris.
267
+ * Should cleanly compile with -Wall -W now (gcc) on Solaris.
268
+ * Added solaris.txt to doc directory.
269
+ * MANIFEST corrections.
270
+
271
+ == 0.5.1 - 16-Jul-2003
272
+ * Fixed a nasty file descriptor bug in the Linux code, where file descriptors
273
+ were continuously being used up.
274
+ * Added the BTIME (boot time) constant for Linux.
275
+ * Fixed up the test/test.rb file a bit.
276
+ * Added BTIME tests to tc_linux.rb.
277
+
278
+ == 0.5.0 - 11-Jul-200
279
+ * Added HP-UX support!
280
+ * Note that passing PID's or strings as arguments to ps() is not supported
281
+ in the HP-UX version. This functionality will be stripped out of the
282
+ other versions in a future release. See the README file for more details.
283
+ * Removed the VERSION() class method. Use the constant instead.
284
+ * Separated the rd docs from their respective source files. Now in the doc
285
+ directory.
286
+ * Got rid of the interactive html generation in extconf.rb.
287
+ * Changed License to Artistic.
288
+
289
+ == 0.4.3 - 30-May-2003
290
+ * Added a version.h file to store the version number. Modified all of the
291
+ C source files to use that instead of hard coding the version everywhere.
292
+ * Added a generic test.rb script for those without TestUnit installed, or
293
+ just futzing in general. Modified the extconf.rb script to copy this
294
+ instead of writing an inline HERE document.
295
+ * Modified extconf.rb so that it builds with mingw or cygwin. Thanks go to
296
+ Peter Fischer for the spot and patch.
297
+ * Modified test suite to work with TestUnit 0.1.6 or 0.1.8.
298
+
299
+ == 0.4.2 - 14-Apr-2003
300
+ * Added pure Ruby version for Win32 - thanks Park Heesob.
301
+ * Modified extconf.rb file to handle pure Ruby versions.
302
+ * Added install_pure_ruby.rb file, an alternate installation
303
+ script for pure Ruby versions.
304
+
305
+ == 0.4.1 - 31-Mar-2003
306
+ * Added support for Solaris 2.5.x.
307
+ * All exceptions are now a direct subclass of StandardError.
308
+ * Value returned for wchan now more meaningful (2.5.x only for now).
309
+ * Fixed the start, utime and ctime for FreeBSD.
310
+ * Minor fix to FreeBSD test suite.
311
+ * Some changes to extconf.rb.
312
+ * Minor doc changes.
313
+ * Added License and Copyright info.
314
+
315
+ == 0.4.0 - 10-Mar-2003
316
+ * Added MS Windows support (non-cygwin).
317
+ * Added environment information for Linux version.
318
+ * Added real exceptions (type depends on platform).
319
+ * Added a test suite (for those with testunit installed).
320
+ * Removed the sys-uname requirement.
321
+ * Heavily modified the extconf.rb script.
322
+ * Changed "Changelog" to "CHANGES" and "Manifest" to "MANIFEST".
323
+ * Added a VERSION constant and class method.
324
+ * Minor internal directory layout change (put 'os' under 'lib').
325
+ * Changed package name to lower case.
326
+ * Doc changes, including license information.
327
+
328
+ == 0.3.1 - 16-Aug-2002
329
+ * Added a "comm" field to the sunos version. I am going to try to make this a
330
+ common field for all platforms to help reduce RUBY_PLATFORM checking.
331
+ * Fixed the release date for 0.3.0 (was accidentally marked *July*).
332
+ * Added an INSTALL file.
333
+ * Minor documentation change to the sunos.c source file.
334
+
335
+ == 0.3.0 - 11-Aug-2002
336
+ * Added FreeBSD support!
337
+ * Struct name changed to just "ProcTableStruct" to be compliant with future
338
+ versions of Ruby.
339
+ * The ps() function now returns an array of ProcTableStruct's in lvalue context.
340
+ * Fixed the ability to search by process name in Linux.
341
+ * Modified Linux "comm" field to strip parenthesis.
342
+ * Some doc changes/additions.
343
+ * Added Sean Chittenden to the "Acknowledgements" section. Sean provided me
344
+ with access to a FreeBSD box, which is how I was able to provide FreeBSD
345
+ support. Thanks Sean!
346
+
347
+ == 0.2.0 - 19-Jul-2002
348
+ * Added the ability to search by process name.
349
+ * test.rb modified to be cross-platform.
350
+ * Solaris - fixed bug with fname (was accidentally called "name").
351
+
352
+ == 0.1.0 - 2-Jul-2002
353
+ - Initial release.
