+== 0.9.1 - 3-Aug-2011
+* Added the pctcpu and pctmem members for Linux.
+* Added Errno::ESRCH to a rescue clause on Linux that fixed a bug
+  where a missing entry wasn't being skipped when run as root. Thanks
+  go to Austin Ziegler for the spot and patch.
+* Fixed a build warning for Darwin.
+* Updates to the test suite for both Darwin and Linux.
+* Added an explicit type check for BSD for pids.
+* Added nicer error messages for BSD if kvm_open fails.
+* Added .core files to the clean task.
+* Altered the platform settings in the Rakefile so that generated gems
+  use 'universal' platform architectures for any particular operating system.
+
+== 0.9.0 - 14-Oct-2009
+* Changed the license to Artistic 2.0.
+* Fixed a bug in the OS X code where a segfault would occur when an attempt
+  was made to gather resource usage information on zombie processes. From
+  now on that information is always set to nil for zombie processes. Thanks
+  go to Tom Lianza for the spot and Philip Kromer for investigating the
+  root cause of the failure.
+* Removed the FreeBSD code that read out of /proc. It was a pain from a
+  maintenance point of view, and most FreeBSD installs do not mount /proc
+  by default. The FreeBSD platform now uses the same code that the other
+  BSD platforms use.
+* Fixed a bug in the BSD code where the ProcTable::Error class had the
+  wrong parent class.
+* Some major gemspec updates, including an updated license. The platform
+  handling logic is now in the Rakefile in the 'gem' task.
+* Updated the README file to include an additional acknowledgement, a
+  license change and some minor formatting changes.
+* The test-unit library was changed from a runtime to a development dependency.
+
+== 0.8.1 - 6-Apr-2009
+* The Linux and Solaris libraries now handle the possibility of a process
+  terminating in the middle of a read more gracefully. If that happens, they
+  merely skip to the next record, i.e. it's all or nothing. Thanks go to
+  Heejong Lee for the spot and patch.
+* Fixed a bug in the Linux version where embedded nulls were not being
+  stripped out of the cmdline data.
+* Added the comm alias back to the Solaris version. Thanks go to Jun Young Kim
+  for the spot.
+
+== 0.8.0 - 26-Jan-2009
+* The Linux and Solaris versions of this library are now pure Ruby. Be warned,
+  however, that only Solaris 8 and later are now supported. This may change
+  in a future release if there's demand to support 2.6 and 2.7.
+* Some Struct::ProcTableStruct members have changed. As a general rule they
+  now more closely match the C struct member name. See individual platforms
+  for more details.
+* Bug fix for the cmd_args struct member on Solaris.
+* Bug fixes for OS X. Added a VERSION constant, fixed struct name, and changed
+  pct_cpu to pctcpu.
+* The .new method is now explicitly illegal.
+* The Struct::ProcTableStruct instances are now frozen. This is read-only data.
+* Added the peak_page_file_usage and status members on MS Windows. The status
+  member is always nil, but was added for completeness.
+* Fixed the quota_peak_paged_pool_usage member on MS Windows.
+* ProcTableError is now ProcTable::Error.
+* Minor test case fix for kvm/bsd based versions.
+* Added the 'time' library as a require for Windows (to parse MS date/time
+  format strings).
+* The kvm (bsd.c) implementation now works for FreeBSD 7.
+* Added many more tests.
+* Added some benchmarking code in the 'benchmarks' directory.
+* Added a 'bench' Rake task.
+* Renamed the test_ps.rb file to example_ps.rb in order to avoid any possible
+  confusion with actual test files.
+* Added an 'example' rake task to run the example file.
+
+== 0.7.6 - 11-Jul-2007
+* Fixed the starttime for Linux. Thanks go to Yaroslav Dmitriev for the spot.
+* Fixed a bug in the MS Windows version within a private method that parsed
+  an MS specific date format. This was caused by a backwards incompatible
+  change in the Time.parse method in Ruby 1.8.6. See ruby-core: 11245 ff.
+* Fixed the gemspec (I hope). Please let me know if you have problems.
+* Added a Rakefile. Building, testing and installing should now be handled via
+  Rake tasks. The install.rb file has been removed - that code is now
+  integrated in the Rakefile.
+* Minor directory layout changes and cleanup (mostly for the extconf.rb file).
+* Side note - it seems that the code for OS X *does* work, at least on 10.4.10.
+  I can only conclude that previous reports about it failing were related to
+  bugs in OS X or were really just build issues. Apologies (and thanks, again)
+  to David Felstead for the code. However, see the README for more information
+  specific to OS X, as there are shortcomings.
+
+== 0.7.5 - 23-Nov-2006
+* Fixed int/long issues for Linux. Thanks go to Matt Lightner for the spot.
+* Minor documentation fixes and changes to the extconf.rb file.
+
+== 0.7.4 - 20-Nov-2006
+* Added a patch that deals with the large file compilation issue on Solaris.
+  You no longer need to build Ruby with --disable-largefile, or build a
+  64 bit Ruby, in order for this package to work.  Thanks go to Steven Jenkins
+  for the information that led to the patch.
+* Added inline rdoc to the source code.
+* Added a gemspec.
+* Fixed some potential 64 bit issues (struct declarations).
+* Added preliminary support for Darwin (OS X). The code was provided by
+  David Felstead, but does not appear to compile successfully.  Help wanted.
+
+== 0.7.3 - 27-Oct-2005
+* Fix for 1.8.3 and later (rb_pid_t). This should have only affected
+  Solaris.
+
+== 0.7.2 - 15-May-2005
+* Bug fix for the FreeBSD version that reads from /proc.
+* Eliminated the test bug on Linux (inexplicably caused by File.copy).  The
+  test suite should now run without segfaulting.
+* Include bsd.c in tarball (oops).
+* Minor test updates for FreeBSD.
+* The 'pct_cpu' member for the BSD/kvm version has been changed to 'pctcpu'
+  for consistency with other platforms.
+
+== 0.7.1 - 8-May-2005
+* Bug fixed for the cmdline info on Linux.  Thanks go to Arash Abedinzadeh
+  for the spot.
+* Added an example program.
+* Minor setup fix for Win32 in tc_all.rb.
+
+== 0.7.0 - 25-Apr-2005
+* Scrapped the C implementation for Windows in favor of an OLE + WMI pure Ruby
+  approach.  See documentation for details.
+* Added an optional lkvm implementation for BSD users.  This is automatically
+  used if the /proc filesystem isn't found.
+* Added prusage info for the Solaris version.
+* Added name, eid, euid, gid and guid information for Linux.  Thanks go to
+  James Hranicky for the patch.
+* Fixed some potential bugs in the Linux version.  Thanks go to James
+  Hranicky for the spot.
+* Added the 'sys/top' package.
+* ProcTable.fields no longer supports a block form.
+* The BTIME (boot time) information has been removed from the Linux version.
+  If you want that information, use sys-uptime instead.
+* The .html and .rd files have been removed.  You can generate html on your
+  own with rdoc if you like.
+* Some code cleanup on the C side of the house.
+* Most documents made rdoc friendly.
+* Renamed 'install_pure_ruby.rb' to just 'install.rb'.
+* Removed the 'INSTALL' file.  Installation instructions are in the README.
+* Some test suite cleanup and reorganization.
+* Moved project to RubyForge.
+
+== 0.6.4 - 31-Mar-2004
+* Fixed a bug in the pure Ruby version for Win32.  Thanks go to Mark Hudson
+  for the spot.
+* Fixed a bug in the C implementation for Win32 where the cmdline and path
+  values were sometimes wrong for running processes.  Thanks go to Park Heesob
+  for the fix.
+* Updated the VERSION constant and removed the VERSION class method in the
+  pure Ruby version for Win32.
+* Updated install_pure_ruby.rb and test.rb scripts.
+* Updated warranty information.
+* The extconf.rb script has been revamped.  See the INSTALL and README files
+  for important changes since the last release.
+* The start ProcInfo struct member on Solaris, HP-UX and FreeBSD is now a
+  Time object, not a Fixnum/Bignum.
+* Modified linux.c yet again to make gcc happy when it comes to multi-line
+  string literals.
+* Minor change to way process state is handled on HP-UX.
+* Documentation additions and updates, including warranty information.
+
+== 0.6.3 - 24-Feb-2004
+* Fixed a bug in the Solaris version where the cmd_args array did not
+  necessarily contain data on 2.7 and later.  The current patch still
+  does not quite fix the problem for 2.6 and earlier but can be easily
+  derived manually by parsing the cmdline string.
+
+== 0.6.2 - 20-Jan-2004
+* Fixed a small memory leak in the solaris version.
+
+== 0.6.1 - 31-Dec-2003
+* Fixed a minor bug in the cmdline field on Linux where a blank character
+  was being appended to the end of the field.
+* Fixed a minor annoyance where the windows.rb file was being copied into
+  the Ruby lib directory on install.
+* Added a test_memleak.rb file.  Currently only supported on Linux and
+  only does a file descriptor count check.  I plan to expand this to
+  other platforms in the future.
+* Minor test suite changes
+* MANIFEST correction and update.
+
+== 0.6.0 - 22-Oct-2003
+* Significant API change (and thus, a version jump) - only a
+  single argument is now accepted to the ps() method, and only a PID
+  (Fixnum) is regarded as a valid argument.
+* Calling ps() with a pid returns a single ProcTable struct (or nil
+  if the pid is not found), instead of a one element array.
+* Argument to ps() now works properly on HP-UX and Win32.
+* Removed the '#include <sys/types32.h>' in sunos.h.  It wasn't needed
+  and you're not supposed to include it directly.
+* Fixed 2.6 compatibility issue with regards to cmdline on Solaris.
+* Removed the ProcStatException completely on Linux.  There was no reason
+  to fail on a directory read for /proc/xxx/stat.  If the read fails
+  (meaning the process died in the middle of collecting info for it), it
+  is simply ignored.
+* The ttynum bug on HPUX has been fixed.  In addition, the return value for
+  this field is now a string rather than an int and the field name has
+  been changed to "ttydev".
+* The ttynum field has been changed to ttydev on Solaris and HPUX.  On
+  Solaris, the ttydev is now reported as -1 if there is no associated tty.
+  In a future release, Solaris and the other *nix platforms will be changed 
+  so that ttydev is always a device name (i.e String).
+* Added plain text documentation for all platforms.
+* Some test suite cleanup.
+* Changed .rd2 extension to just '.rd'.
+
+== 0.5.2 - 18-Jul-2003
+* Modified cmdline to extend past the traditional 80 character limit on
+  Solaris, where possible (Solaris 2.6+ only).
+* Added the cmdline_args and num_args fields on Solaris, which returns
+  an array of cmdline arguments and the number of cmdline arguments,
+  respectively.
+* Minor modification to fields() method, in addition to warning cleanup
+  for Solaris.
+* Changed "defunct" state string to "zombie" for Solaris.
+* Should cleanly compile with -Wall -W now (gcc) on Solaris.
+* Added solaris.txt to doc directory.
+* MANIFEST corrections.
+
+== 0.5.1 - 16-Jul-2003
+* Fixed a nasty file descriptor bug in the Linux code, where file descriptors
+  were continuously being used up.
+* Added the BTIME (boot time) constant for Linux.
+* Fixed up the test/test.rb file a bit.
+* Added BTIME tests to tc_linux.rb.
+
+== 0.5.0 - 11-Jul-200
+* Added HP-UX support!
+* Note that passing PID's or strings as arguments to ps() is not supported
+  in the HP-UX version.  This functionality will be stripped out of the
+  other versions in a future release.  See the README file for more details.
+* Removed the VERSION() class method.  Use the constant instead.
+* Separated the rd docs from their respective source files.  Now in the doc
+  directory.
+* Got rid of the interactive html generation in extconf.rb.
+* Changed License to Artistic.
+
+== 0.4.3 - 30-May-2003
+* Added a version.h file to store the version number. Modified all of the
+  C source files to use that instead of hard coding the version everywhere.
+* Added a generic test.rb script for those without TestUnit installed, or
+  just futzing in general.  Modified the extconf.rb script to copy this
+  instead of writing an inline HERE document.
+* Modified extconf.rb so that it builds with mingw or cygwin.  Thanks go to
+  Peter Fischer for the spot and patch.
+* Modified test suite to work with TestUnit 0.1.6 or 0.1.8.
+
+== 0.4.2 - 14-Apr-2003
+* Added pure Ruby version for Win32 - thanks Park Heesob.
+* Modified extconf.rb file to handle pure Ruby versions.
+* Added install_pure_ruby.rb file, an alternate installation
+  script for pure Ruby versions.
+
+== 0.4.1 - 31-Mar-2003
+* Added support for Solaris 2.5.x.
+* All exceptions are now a direct subclass of StandardError.
+* Value returned for wchan now more meaningful (2.5.x only for now).
+* Fixed the start, utime and ctime for FreeBSD.
+* Minor fix to FreeBSD test suite.
+* Some changes to extconf.rb.
+* Minor doc changes.
+* Added License and Copyright info.
+
+== 0.4.0 - 10-Mar-2003
+* Added MS Windows support (non-cygwin).
+* Added environment information for Linux version.
+* Added real exceptions (type depends on platform).
+* Added a test suite (for those with testunit installed).
+* Removed the sys-uname requirement.
+* Heavily modified the extconf.rb script.
+* Changed "Changelog" to "CHANGES" and "Manifest" to "MANIFEST".
+* Added a VERSION constant and class method.
+* Minor internal directory layout change (put 'os' under 'lib').
+* Changed package name to lower case.
+* Doc changes, including license information.
+
+== 0.3.1 - 16-Aug-2002
+* Added a "comm" field to the sunos version.  I am going to try to make this a
+  common field for all platforms to help reduce RUBY_PLATFORM checking.
+* Fixed the release date for 0.3.0 (was accidentally marked *July*).
+* Added an INSTALL file.
+* Minor documentation change to the sunos.c source file.
+
+== 0.3.0 - 11-Aug-2002
+* Added FreeBSD support!
+* Struct name changed to just "ProcTableStruct" to be compliant with future
+  versions of Ruby.
+* The ps() function now returns an array of ProcTableStruct's in lvalue context.
+* Fixed the ability to search by process name in Linux.
+* Modified Linux "comm" field to strip parenthesis.
+* Some doc changes/additions.
+* Added Sean Chittenden to the "Acknowledgements" section.  Sean provided me
+  with access to a FreeBSD box, which is how I was able to provide FreeBSD
+  support.  Thanks Sean!
+
+== 0.2.0 - 19-Jul-2002
+* Added the ability to search by process name.
+* test.rb modified to be cross-platform.
+* Solaris - fixed bug with fname (was accidentally called "name").
+
+== 0.1.0 - 2-Jul-2002

+== Description
+  A Ruby interface for gathering process information.
+
+== Prerequisites
+* Test::Unit 2.x (development only)
+
+== Supported Platforms
+* Windows 2000 or later
+* Linux 2.6+
+* BSD (various flavors)
+* Solaris 8+
+* HP-UX 10+
+* OS X 10.4+
+
+== Installation
+  gem install sys-proctable
+
+  You may need to specify a platform in some cases. For example:
+
+  gem install sys-proctable --platform mswin32 # Windows
+  gem install sys-proctable --platform sunos   # Solaris
+  gem install sys-proctable --platform linux   # Linux
+  gem install sys-proctable --platform freebsd # BSD (any flavor)
+
+== Synopsis
+  require 'sys/proctable'
+  include Sys
+
+  # Everything
+  ProcTable.ps{ |p|
+    puts p.pid.to_s
+    puts p.comm
+    # ...
+  }
+
+  # Just one process
+  s = ProcTable.ps(2123)
+  puts s.pid.to_s
+  puts s.comm
+  # ...
+
+  # Return the results as an array of ProcTableStructs
+  a = ProcTable.ps
+  a.each do |p|
+    puts a.pid
+    # ...
+  end
+
+== Notes 
+  Windows users may pass a host name as a second argument to get process
+  information from a different host. This relies on the WMI service running.
+
+== Known Issues
+=== BSD
+  A kvm interface is used. That means the owner of the process using the
+  sys-proctable library needs to be a member of the kvm group (or root).
+
+=== Solaris
+  The cmdline member on Solaris is limited to 80 characters unless you (or
+  your program) own the process. This is a Solaris design flaw/feature.
+
+=== OS X
+  At the moment you do not get the full command line string. The code required
+  to get this information is obnoxious and I don't have any compelling desire
+  to add it. However, if you're willing to submit a patch I'll accept it.
+
+  You can find a good starting point with the OS X code found in Dan Urist's
+  Proc::ProcessTable module. You can find that module on CPAN. Point your
+  browser at http://search.cpan.org.
+
+=== Thread Safety
+  I am not currently using a thread-safe version of readdir() for versions
+  of this library that use C. I am not especially concerned about it either.
+  If you are trying to read information out of /proc from different threads
+  at the same time there is something seriously wrong with your code logic.
+  Using readdir_r() still won't solve all potential thread safety issues anyway.
+
+== Future Plans
+  Research has indicated that the kvm approach is less favored than a sysctl
+  approach on BSD variants. I will try to add this interface in a future
+  release.
+
+== Acknowledgements
+  This library is largely based on the Perl module Proc::ProcessTable by
+  Dan Urist. Many ideas, as well as large chunks of code, were taken
+  from his work. So, a big THANK YOU goes out to Dan Urist.
+
+  A big thanks also goes out to Mike Hall who was very helpful with ideas,
+  logic and testing.
+
+  Thanks also go to Sean Chittenden for providing an account on one of his
+  FreeBSD machines. This is how the FreeBSD support was (initially) added.
+
+  Thanks go to James Hranicky for providing a patch that grabs name, eid,
+  euid, gid and guid info in the Linux version, along with some general
+  debugging help.
+   
+  Thanks go to David Felstead for the original OS X code.
+
+  Finally I'd like to thank all the folks who have submitted bug reports
+  and/or patches.
+
+== Help Wanted
+  I do not have access to all platforms. If your platform is not supported
+  then you will need to either submit a patch or give me a remote account
+  on a box with a compiler so that I can write the code.
+
+== More documentation
+  See the documentation under the 'doc' directory for more information,
+  including platform specific notes and issues.
