-== 0.9.2 - 8-Oct-2012
-* Added cmdline support for OS X. Thanks go to Matthias Zirnstein for
-  the patch.
-* Warning cleanup for 1.9.
-* Updated the gem platform handling. Replaced the borked string approach
-  with a two element array for Gem::Platform.new.
-* MS date strings are now parse with DateTime instead of Date.
-
-== 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").
-

+  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'.
