2
- * Added cmdline support for OS X. Thanks go to Matthias Zirnstein for
3

4
- * Warning cleanup for 1.9.
5

9
- == 0.9.1 - 3-Aug-2011
10
- * Added the pctcpu and pctmem members for Linux.
11
- * Added Errno::ESRCH to a rescue clause on Linux that fixed a bug
12

13
- go to Austin Ziegler for the spot and patch.
14
- * Fixed a build warning for Darwin.
15
- * Updates to the test suite for both Darwin and Linux.
16

17
- * Added nicer error messages for BSD if kvm_open fails.
18

21
-
22
- == 0.9.0 - 14-Oct-2009
23
- * Changed the license to Artistic 2.0.
24
- * Fixed a bug in the OS X code where a segfault would occur when an attempt
25
- was made to gather resource usage information on zombie processes. From
26
- now on that information is always set to nil for zombie processes. Thanks
27
- go to Tom Lianza for the spot and Philip Kromer for investigating the
28
- root cause of the failure.
29
- * Removed the FreeBSD code that read out of /proc. It was a pain from a
30
- maintenance point of view, and most FreeBSD installs do not mount /proc
31
- by default. The FreeBSD platform now uses the same code that the other
32
- BSD platforms use.
33
- * Fixed a bug in the BSD code where the ProcTable::Error class had the
34
- wrong parent class.
35
- * Some major gemspec updates, including an updated license. The platform
36
- handling logic is now in the Rakefile in the 'gem' task.
37
- * Updated the README file to include an additional acknowledgement, a
38
- license change and some minor formatting changes.
39
- * The test-unit library was changed from a runtime to a development dependency.
40
-
41
- == 0.8.1 - 6-Apr-2009
42
- * The Linux and Solaris libraries now handle the possibility of a process
43
- terminating in the middle of a read more gracefully. If that happens, they
44
- merely skip to the next record, i.e. it's all or nothing. Thanks go to
45
- Heejong Lee for the spot and patch.
46
- * Fixed a bug in the Linux version where embedded nulls were not being
47
- stripped out of the cmdline data.
48
- * Added the comm alias back to the Solaris version. Thanks go to Jun Young Kim
49
- for the spot.
50
-
51
- == 0.8.0 - 26-Jan-2009
52
- * The Linux and Solaris versions of this library are now pure Ruby. Be warned,
53
- however, that only Solaris 8 and later are now supported. This may change
54
- in a future release if there's demand to support 2.6 and 2.7.
55
- * Some Struct::ProcTableStruct members have changed. As a general rule they
56
- now more closely match the C struct member name. See individual platforms
57
- for more details.
58
- * Bug fix for the cmd_args struct member on Solaris.
59
- * Bug fixes for OS X. Added a VERSION constant, fixed struct name, and changed
60
- pct_cpu to pctcpu.
61
- * The .new method is now explicitly illegal.
62
- * The Struct::ProcTableStruct instances are now frozen. This is read-only data.
63
- * Added the peak_page_file_usage and status members on MS Windows. The status
64
- member is always nil, but was added for completeness.
65
- * Fixed the quota_peak_paged_pool_usage member on MS Windows.
66
- * ProcTableError is now ProcTable::Error.
67
- * Minor test case fix for kvm/bsd based versions.
68
- * Added the 'time' library as a require for Windows (to parse MS date/time
69
- format strings).
70
- * The kvm (bsd.c) implementation now works for FreeBSD 7.
71
- * Added many more tests.
72
- * Added some benchmarking code in the 'benchmarks' directory.
73
- * Added a 'bench' Rake task.
74
- * Renamed the test_ps.rb file to example_ps.rb in order to avoid any possible
75
- confusion with actual test files.
76
- * Added an 'example' rake task to run the example file.
77
-
78
- == 0.7.6 - 11-Jul-2007
79
- * Fixed the starttime for Linux. Thanks go to Yaroslav Dmitriev for the spot.
80
- * Fixed a bug in the MS Windows version within a private method that parsed
81
- an MS specific date format. This was caused by a backwards incompatible
82
- change in the Time.parse method in Ruby 1.8.6. See ruby-core: 11245 ff.
83
- * Fixed the gemspec (I hope). Please let me know if you have problems.
84
- * Added a Rakefile. Building, testing and installing should now be handled via
85
- Rake tasks. The install.rb file has been removed - that code is now
86
- integrated in the Rakefile.
87
- * Minor directory layout changes and cleanup (mostly for the extconf.rb file).
88
- * Side note - it seems that the code for OS X *does* work, at least on 10.4.10.
89
- I can only conclude that previous reports about it failing were related to
90
- bugs in OS X or were really just build issues. Apologies (and thanks, again)
91
- to David Felstead for the code. However, see the README for more information
92
- specific to OS X, as there are shortcomings.
93
-
94
- == 0.7.5 - 23-Nov-2006
95
- * Fixed int/long issues for Linux. Thanks go to Matt Lightner for the spot.
96
- * Minor documentation fixes and changes to the extconf.rb file.
97
-
98
- == 0.7.4 - 20-Nov-2006
99
- * Added a patch that deals with the large file compilation issue on Solaris.
100
- You no longer need to build Ruby with --disable-largefile, or build a
101
- 64 bit Ruby, in order for this package to work. Thanks go to Steven Jenkins
102
- for the information that led to the patch.
103
- * Added inline rdoc to the source code.
104
- * Added a gemspec.
105
- * Fixed some potential 64 bit issues (struct declarations).
106
- * Added preliminary support for Darwin (OS X). The code was provided by
107
- David Felstead, but does not appear to compile successfully. Help wanted.
108
-
109
- == 0.7.3 - 27-Oct-2005
110
- * Fix for 1.8.3 and later (rb_pid_t). This should have only affected
111
- Solaris.
112
-
113
- == 0.7.2 - 15-May-2005
114
- * Bug fix for the FreeBSD version that reads from /proc.
115
- * Eliminated the test bug on Linux (inexplicably caused by File.copy). The
116
- test suite should now run without segfaulting.
117
- * Include bsd.c in tarball (oops).
118
- * Minor test updates for FreeBSD.
119
- * The 'pct_cpu' member for the BSD/kvm version has been changed to 'pctcpu'
120
- for consistency with other platforms.
121
-
122
- == 0.7.1 - 8-May-2005
123
- * Bug fixed for the cmdline info on Linux. Thanks go to Arash Abedinzadeh
124
- for the spot.
125
- * Added an example program.
126
- * Minor setup fix for Win32 in tc_all.rb.
127
-
128
- == 0.7.0 - 25-Apr-2005
129
- * Scrapped the C implementation for Windows in favor of an OLE + WMI pure Ruby
130
- approach. See documentation for details.
131
- * Added an optional lkvm implementation for BSD users. This is automatically
132
- used if the /proc filesystem isn't found.
133
- * Added prusage info for the Solaris version.
134
- * Added name, eid, euid, gid and guid information for Linux. Thanks go to
135
- James Hranicky for the patch.
136
- * Fixed some potential bugs in the Linux version. Thanks go to James
137
- Hranicky for the spot.
138
- * Added the 'sys/top' package.
139
- * ProcTable.fields no longer supports a block form.
140
- * The BTIME (boot time) information has been removed from the Linux version.
141
- If you want that information, use sys-uptime instead.
142
- * The .html and .rd files have been removed. You can generate html on your
143
- own with rdoc if you like.
144
- * Some code cleanup on the C side of the house.
145
- * Most documents made rdoc friendly.
146
- * Renamed 'install_pure_ruby.rb' to just 'install.rb'.
147
- * Removed the 'INSTALL' file. Installation instructions are in the README.
148
- * Some test suite cleanup and reorganization.
149
- * Moved project to RubyForge.
150
-
151
- == 0.6.4 - 31-Mar-2004
152
- * Fixed a bug in the pure Ruby version for Win32. Thanks go to Mark Hudson
153
- for the spot.
154
- * Fixed a bug in the C implementation for Win32 where the cmdline and path
155
- values were sometimes wrong for running processes. Thanks go to Park Heesob
156
- for the fix.
157
- * Updated the VERSION constant and removed the VERSION class method in the
158
- pure Ruby version for Win32.
159
- * Updated install_pure_ruby.rb and test.rb scripts.
160
- * Updated warranty information.
161
- * The extconf.rb script has been revamped. See the INSTALL and README files
162
- for important changes since the last release.
163
- * The start ProcInfo struct member on Solaris, HP-UX and FreeBSD is now a
164
- Time object, not a Fixnum/Bignum.
165
- * Modified linux.c yet again to make gcc happy when it comes to multi-line
166
- string literals.
167
- * Minor change to way process state is handled on HP-UX.
168
- * Documentation additions and updates, including warranty information.
169
-
170
- == 0.6.3 - 24-Feb-2004
171
- * Fixed a bug in the Solaris version where the cmd_args array did not
172
- necessarily contain data on 2.7 and later. The current patch still
173
- does not quite fix the problem for 2.6 and earlier but can be easily
174
- derived manually by parsing the cmdline string.
175
-
176
- == 0.6.2 - 20-Jan-2004
177
- * Fixed a small memory leak in the solaris version.
178
-
179
- == 0.6.1 - 31-Dec-2003
180
- * Fixed a minor bug in the cmdline field on Linux where a blank character
181
- was being appended to the end of the field.
182
- * Fixed a minor annoyance where the windows.rb file was being copied into
183
- the Ruby lib directory on install.
184
- * Added a test_memleak.rb file. Currently only supported on Linux and
185
- only does a file descriptor count check. I plan to expand this to
186
- other platforms in the future.
187
- * Minor test suite changes
188
- * MANIFEST correction and update.
189
-
190
- == 0.6.0 - 22-Oct-2003
191
- * Significant API change (and thus, a version jump) - only a
192
- single argument is now accepted to the ps() method, and only a PID
193
- (Fixnum) is regarded as a valid argument.
194
- * Calling ps() with a pid returns a single ProcTable struct (or nil
195
- if the pid is not found), instead of a one element array.
196
- * Argument to ps() now works properly on HP-UX and Win32.
197
- * Removed the '#include <sys/types32.h>' in sunos.h. It wasn't needed
198
- and you're not supposed to include it directly.
199
- * Fixed 2.6 compatibility issue with regards to cmdline on Solaris.
200
- * Removed the ProcStatException completely on Linux. There was no reason
201
- to fail on a directory read for /proc/xxx/stat. If the read fails
202
- (meaning the process died in the middle of collecting info for it), it
203
- is simply ignored.
204
- * The ttynum bug on HPUX has been fixed. In addition, the return value for
205
- this field is now a string rather than an int and the field name has
206
- been changed to "ttydev".
207
- * The ttynum field has been changed to ttydev on Solaris and HPUX. On
208
- Solaris, the ttydev is now reported as -1 if there is no associated tty.
209
- In a future release, Solaris and the other *nix platforms will be changed
210
- so that ttydev is always a device name (i.e String).
211
- * Added plain text documentation for all platforms.
212
- * Some test suite cleanup.
213
- * Changed .rd2 extension to just '.rd'.
214
-
215
- == 0.5.2 - 18-Jul-2003
216
- * Modified cmdline to extend past the traditional 80 character limit on
217
- Solaris, where possible (Solaris 2.6+ only).
218
- * Added the cmdline_args and num_args fields on Solaris, which returns
219
- an array of cmdline arguments and the number of cmdline arguments,
220
- respectively.
221
- * Minor modification to fields() method, in addition to warning cleanup
222
- for Solaris.
223
- * Changed "defunct" state string to "zombie" for Solaris.
224
- * Should cleanly compile with -Wall -W now (gcc) on Solaris.
225
- * Added solaris.txt to doc directory.
226
- * MANIFEST corrections.
227
-
228
- == 0.5.1 - 16-Jul-2003
229
- * Fixed a nasty file descriptor bug in the Linux code, where file descriptors
230
- were continuously being used up.
231
- * Added the BTIME (boot time) constant for Linux.
232
- * Fixed up the test/test.rb file a bit.
233
- * Added BTIME tests to tc_linux.rb.
234
-
235
- == 0.5.0 - 11-Jul-200
236
- * Added HP-UX support!
237
- * Note that passing PID's or strings as arguments to ps() is not supported
238
- in the HP-UX version. This functionality will be stripped out of the
239
- other versions in a future release. See the README file for more details.
240
- * Removed the VERSION() class method. Use the constant instead.
241
- * Separated the rd docs from their respective source files. Now in the doc
242
- directory.
243
- * Got rid of the interactive html generation in extconf.rb.
244
- * Changed License to Artistic.
245
-
246
- == 0.4.3 - 30-May-2003
247
- * Added a version.h file to store the version number. Modified all of the
248
- C source files to use that instead of hard coding the version everywhere.
249
- * Added a generic test.rb script for those without TestUnit installed, or
250
- just futzing in general. Modified the extconf.rb script to copy this
251
- instead of writing an inline HERE document.
252
- * Modified extconf.rb so that it builds with mingw or cygwin. Thanks go to
253
- Peter Fischer for the spot and patch.
254
- * Modified test suite to work with TestUnit 0.1.6 or 0.1.8.
255
-
256
- == 0.4.2 - 14-Apr-2003
257
- * Added pure Ruby version for Win32 - thanks Park Heesob.
258
- * Modified extconf.rb file to handle pure Ruby versions.
259
- * Added install_pure_ruby.rb file, an alternate installation
260
- script for pure Ruby versions.
261
-
262
- == 0.4.1 - 31-Mar-2003
263
- * Added support for Solaris 2.5.x.
264
- * All exceptions are now a direct subclass of StandardError.
265
- * Value returned for wchan now more meaningful (2.5.x only for now).
266
- * Fixed the start, utime and ctime for FreeBSD.
267
- * Minor fix to FreeBSD test suite.
268
- * Some changes to extconf.rb.
269
- * Minor doc changes.
270
- * Added License and Copyright info.
271
-
272
- == 0.4.0 - 10-Mar-2003
273
- * Added MS Windows support (non-cygwin).
274
- * Added environment information for Linux version.
275
- * Added real exceptions (type depends on platform).
276
- * Added a test suite (for those with testunit installed).
277
- * Removed the sys-uname requirement.
278
- * Heavily modified the extconf.rb script.
279
- * Changed "Changelog" to "CHANGES" and "Manifest" to "MANIFEST".
280
- * Added a VERSION constant and class method.
281
- * Minor internal directory layout change (put 'os' under 'lib').
282
- * Changed package name to lower case.
283
- * Doc changes, including license information.
284
-
285
- == 0.3.1 - 16-Aug-2002
286
- * Added a "comm" field to the sunos version. I am going to try to make this a
287
- common field for all platforms to help reduce RUBY_PLATFORM checking.
288
- * Fixed the release date for 0.3.0 (was accidentally marked *July*).
289
- * Added an INSTALL file.
290
- * Minor documentation change to the sunos.c source file.
291
-
292
- == 0.3.0 - 11-Aug-2002
293
- * Added FreeBSD support!
294
- * Struct name changed to just "ProcTableStruct" to be compliant with future
295
- versions of Ruby.
296
- * The ps() function now returns an array of ProcTableStruct's in lvalue context.
297
- * Fixed the ability to search by process name in Linux.
298
- * Modified Linux "comm" field to strip parenthesis.
299
- * Some doc changes/additions.
300
- * Added Sean Chittenden to the "Acknowledgements" section. Sean provided me
301
- with access to a FreeBSD box, which is how I was able to provide FreeBSD
302
- support. Thanks Sean!
303
-
304
- == 0.2.0 - 19-Jul-2002
305
- * Added the ability to search by process name.
306
- * test.rb modified to be cross-platform.

+ * Fixed the starttime for Linux. Thanks go to Yaroslav Dmitriev for the spot.
85
+ * Fixed a bug in the MS Windows version within a private method that parsed
86
+ an MS specific date format. This was caused by a backwards incompatible
87
+ change in the Time.parse method in Ruby 1.8.6. See ruby-core: 11245 ff.
88
+ * Fixed the gemspec (I hope). Please let me know if you have problems.
89
+ * Added a Rakefile. Building, testing and installing should now be handled via
90
+ Rake tasks. The install.rb file has been removed - that code is now
91
+ integrated in the Rakefile.
92
+ * Minor directory layout changes and cleanup (mostly for the extconf.rb file).
93
+ * Side note - it seems that the code for OS X *does* work, at least on 10.4.10.
94
+ I can only conclude that previous reports about it failing were related to
95
+ bugs in OS X or were really just build issues. Apologies (and thanks, again)
96
+ to David Felstead for the code. However, see the README for more information
97
+ specific to OS X, as there are shortcomings.
98
+
99
+ == 0.7.5 - 23-Nov-2006
100
+ * Fixed int/long issues for Linux. Thanks go to Matt Lightner for the spot.
101
+ * Minor documentation fixes and changes to the extconf.rb file.
102
+
103
+ == 0.7.4 - 20-Nov-2006
104
+ * Added a patch that deals with the large file compilation issue on Solaris.
105
+ You no longer need to build Ruby with --disable-largefile, or build a
106
+ 64 bit Ruby, in order for this package to work. Thanks go to Steven Jenkins
107
+ for the information that led to the patch.
108
+ * Added inline rdoc to the source code.
109
+ * Added a gemspec.
110
+ * Fixed some potential 64 bit issues (struct declarations).
111
+ * Added preliminary support for Darwin (OS X). The code was provided by
112
+ David Felstead, but does not appear to compile successfully. Help wanted.
113
+
114
+ == 0.7.3 - 27-Oct-2005
115
+ * Fix for 1.8.3 and later (rb_pid_t). This should have only affected
116
+ Solaris.
117
+
118
+ == 0.7.2 - 15-May-2005
119
+ * Bug fix for the FreeBSD version that reads from /proc.
120
+ * Eliminated the test bug on Linux (inexplicably caused by File.copy). The
121
+ test suite should now run without segfaulting.
122
+ * Include bsd.c in tarball (oops).
123
+ * Minor test updates for FreeBSD.
124
+ * The 'pct_cpu' member for the BSD/kvm version has been changed to 'pctcpu'
125
+ for consistency with other platforms.
126
+
127
+ == 0.7.1 - 8-May-2005
128
+ * Bug fixed for the cmdline info on Linux. Thanks go to Arash Abedinzadeh
129
+ for the spot.
130
+ * Added an example program.
131
+ * Minor setup fix for Win32 in tc_all.rb.
132
+
133
+ == 0.7.0 - 25-Apr-2005
134
+ * Scrapped the C implementation for Windows in favor of an OLE + WMI pure Ruby
135
+ approach. See documentation for details.
136
+ * Added an optional lkvm implementation for BSD users. This is automatically
137
+ used if the /proc filesystem isn't found.
138
+ * Added prusage info for the Solaris version.
139
+ * Added name, eid, euid, gid and guid information for Linux. Thanks go to
140
+ James Hranicky for the patch.
141
+ * Fixed some potential bugs in the Linux version. Thanks go to James
142
+ Hranicky for the spot.
143
+ * Added the 'sys/top' package.
144
+ * ProcTable.fields no longer supports a block form.
145
+ * The BTIME (boot time) information has been removed from the Linux version.
146
+ If you want that information, use sys-uptime instead.
147
+ * The .html and .rd files have been removed. You can generate html on your
148
+ own with rdoc if you like.
149
+ * Some code cleanup on the C side of the house.
150
+ * Most documents made rdoc friendly.
151
+ * Renamed 'install_pure_ruby.rb' to just 'install.rb'.
152
+ * Removed the 'INSTALL' file. Installation instructions are in the README.
153
+ * Some test suite cleanup and reorganization.
154
+ * Moved project to RubyForge.
155
+
156
+ == 0.6.4 - 31-Mar-2004
157
+ * Fixed a bug in the pure Ruby version for Win32. Thanks go to Mark Hudson
158
+ for the spot.
159
+ * Fixed a bug in the C implementation for Win32 where the cmdline and path
160
+ values were sometimes wrong for running processes. Thanks go to Park Heesob
161
+ for the fix.
162
+ * Updated the VERSION constant and removed the VERSION class method in the
163
+ pure Ruby version for Win32.
164
+ * Updated install_pure_ruby.rb and test.rb scripts.
165
+ * Updated warranty information.
166
+ * The extconf.rb script has been revamped. See the INSTALL and README files
167
+ for important changes since the last release.
168
+ * The start ProcInfo struct member on Solaris, HP-UX and FreeBSD is now a
169
+ Time object, not a Fixnum/Bignum.
170
+ * Modified linux.c yet again to make gcc happy when it comes to multi-line
171
+ string literals.
172
+ * Minor change to way process state is handled on HP-UX.
173
+ * Documentation additions and updates, including warranty information.
174
+
175
+ == 0.6.3 - 24-Feb-2004
176
+ * Fixed a bug in the Solaris version where the cmd_args array did not
177
+ necessarily contain data on 2.7 and later. The current patch still
178
+ does not quite fix the problem for 2.6 and earlier but can be easily
179
+ derived manually by parsing the cmdline string.
180
+
181
+ == 0.6.2 - 20-Jan-2004
182
+ * Fixed a small memory leak in the solaris version.
183
+
184
+ == 0.6.1 - 31-Dec-2003
185
+ * Fixed a minor bug in the cmdline field on Linux where a blank character
186
+ was being appended to the end of the field.
187
+ * Fixed a minor annoyance where the windows.rb file was being copied into
188
+ the Ruby lib directory on install.
189
+ * Added a test_memleak.rb file. Currently only supported on Linux and
190
+ only does a file descriptor count check. I plan to expand this to
191
+ other platforms in the future.
192
+ * Minor test suite changes
193
+ * MANIFEST correction and update.
194
+
195
+ == 0.6.0 - 22-Oct-2003
196
+ * Significant API change (and thus, a version jump) - only a
197
+ single argument is now accepted to the ps() method, and only a PID
198
+ (Fixnum) is regarded as a valid argument.
199
+ * Calling ps() with a pid returns a single ProcTable struct (or nil
200
+ if the pid is not found), instead of a one element array.
201
+ * Argument to ps() now works properly on HP-UX and Win32.
202
+ * Removed the '#include <sys/types32.h>' in sunos.h. It wasn't needed
203
+ and you're not supposed to include it directly.
204
+ * Fixed 2.6 compatibility issue with regards to cmdline on Solaris.
205
+ * Removed the ProcStatException completely on Linux. There was no reason
206
+ to fail on a directory read for /proc/xxx/stat. If the read fails
207
+ (meaning the process died in the middle of collecting info for it), it
208
+ is simply ignored.
209
+ * The ttynum bug on HPUX has been fixed. In addition, the return value for
210
+ this field is now a string rather than an int and the field name has
211
+ been changed to "ttydev".
212
+ * The ttynum field has been changed to ttydev on Solaris and HPUX. On
213
+ Solaris, the ttydev is now reported as -1 if there is no associated tty.
214
+ In a future release, Solaris and the other *nix platforms will be changed
215
+ so that ttydev is always a device name (i.e String).
216
+ * Added plain text documentation for all platforms.
217
+ * Some test suite cleanup.
218
+ * Changed .rd2 extension to just '.rd'.
219
+
220
+ == 0.5.2 - 18-Jul-2003
221
+ * Modified cmdline to extend past the traditional 80 character limit on
222
+ Solaris, where possible (Solaris 2.6+ only).
223
+ * Added the cmdline_args and num_args fields on Solaris, which returns
224
+ an array of cmdline arguments and the number of cmdline arguments,
225
+ respectively.
226
+ * Minor modification to fields() method, in addition to warning cleanup
227
+ for Solaris.
228
+ * Changed "defunct" state string to "zombie" for Solaris.
229
+ * Should cleanly compile with -Wall -W now (gcc) on Solaris.
230
+ * Added solaris.txt to doc directory.
231
+ * MANIFEST corrections.
232
+
233
+ == 0.5.1 - 16-Jul-2003
234
+ * Fixed a nasty file descriptor bug in the Linux code, where file descriptors
235
+ were continuously being used up.
236
+ * Added the BTIME (boot time) constant for Linux.
237
+ * Fixed up the test/test.rb file a bit.
238
+ * Added BTIME tests to tc_linux.rb.
239
+
240
+ == 0.5.0 - 11-Jul-200
241
+ * Added HP-UX support!
242
+ * Note that passing PID's or strings as arguments to ps() is not supported
243
+ in the HP-UX version. This functionality will be stripped out of the
244
+ other versions in a future release. See the README file for more details.
245
+ * Removed the VERSION() class method. Use the constant instead.
246
+ * Separated the rd docs from their respective source files. Now in the doc
247
+ directory.
248
+ * Got rid of the interactive html generation in extconf.rb.
249
+ * Changed License to Artistic.
250
+
251
+ == 0.4.3 - 30-May-2003
252
+ * Added a version.h file to store the version number. Modified all of the
253
+ C source files to use that instead of hard coding the version everywhere.
254
+ * Added a generic test.rb script for those without TestUnit installed, or
255
+ just futzing in general. Modified the extconf.rb script to copy this
256
+ instead of writing an inline HERE document.
257
+ * Modified extconf.rb so that it builds with mingw or cygwin. Thanks go to
258
+ Peter Fischer for the spot and patch.
259
+ * Modified test suite to work with TestUnit 0.1.6 or 0.1.8.
260
+
261
+ == 0.4.2 - 14-Apr-2003
262
+ * Added pure Ruby version for Win32 - thanks Park Heesob.
263
+ * Modified extconf.rb file to handle pure Ruby versions.
264
+ * Added install_pure_ruby.rb file, an alternate installation
265
+ script for pure Ruby versions.
266
+
267
+ == 0.4.1 - 31-Mar-2003
268
+ * Added support for Solaris 2.5.x.
269
+ * All exceptions are now a direct subclass of StandardError.
270
+ * Value returned for wchan now more meaningful (2.5.x only for now).
271
+ * Fixed the start, utime and ctime for FreeBSD.
272
+ * Minor fix to FreeBSD test suite.
273
+ * Some changes to extconf.rb.
274
+ * Minor doc changes.
275
+ * Added License and Copyright info.
276
+
277
+ == 0.4.0 - 10-Mar-2003
278
+ * Added MS Windows support (non-cygwin).
279
+ * Added environment information for Linux version.
280
+ * Added real exceptions (type depends on platform).
281
+ * Added a test suite (for those with testunit installed).
282
+ * Removed the sys-uname requirement.
283
+ * Heavily modified the extconf.rb script.
284
+ * Changed "Changelog" to "CHANGES" and "Manifest" to "MANIFEST".
285
+ * Added a VERSION constant and class method.
286
+ * Minor internal directory layout change (put 'os' under 'lib').
287
+ * Changed package name to lower case.
288
+ * Doc changes, including license information.
289
+
290
+ == 0.3.1 - 16-Aug-2002
291
+ * Added a "comm" field to the sunos version. I am going to try to make this a
292
+ common field for all platforms to help reduce RUBY_PLATFORM checking.
293
+ * Fixed the release date for 0.3.0 (was accidentally marked *July*).
294
+ * Added an INSTALL file.
295
+ * Minor documentation change to the sunos.c source file.
296
+
297
+ == 0.3.0 - 11-Aug-2002
298
+ * Added FreeBSD support!
299
+ * Struct name changed to just "ProcTableStruct" to be compliant with future
300
+ versions of Ruby.
301
+ * The ps() function now returns an array of ProcTableStruct's in lvalue context.
302
+ * Fixed the ability to search by process name in Linux.
303
+ * Modified Linux "comm" field to strip parenthesis.
304
+ * Some doc changes/additions.
305
+ * Added Sean Chittenden to the "Acknowledgements" section. Sean provided me
306
+ with access to a FreeBSD box, which is how I was able to provide FreeBSD
307
+ support. Thanks Sean!
308
+
309
+ == 0.2.0 - 19-Jul-2002
310
+ * Added the ability to search by process name.
311
+ * test.rb modified to be cross-platform.
312
+ * Solaris - fixed bug with fname (was accidentally called "name").
313
+
314
+ == 0.1.0 - 2-Jul-2002
315
+ - Initial release.
