Changes from version 1.6 to 1.7: o Added full SMP support as follows: o the follow data and/or functions were modified to support a SMP kernel in sysinfo.h char *cpu field added to load struct // modified extern int get_total_procs( void ); // added o the follow data and/or functions were modified to support a SMP kernel in sysinfo.c void get_load(struct load * result) // modified int get_total_procs( void ); // added o the follow data and/or functions were modified to support a SMP kernel in xsysinfo.c struct AppData, *AppDataPtr // modified static XtResource application_resources[] // modified static XrmOptionDescRec options[] // modified static void getloadCB( widget, client_data, call_data ) // modified static void create_app( top ) // modified o Added a define to allow turning off of the now default SMP mode. Turning off SMP mode on a SMP enabled kernel will display the the average of all the cpu's load which is still contained on on the first line of /proc/stat Mike Mondragon <dragon@gocougs.wsu.edu> Changes from version 1.5 to 1.6: o Added a define to allow specifying the update time in milli-seconds. This is currently the default. To change the behaviour edit the Imakefile and XSysinfo.ad, call `imake', `make clean' and `make'. This change was contributed by Thomas M. Ott <Labalutsch@aol.com>. o Added support for /proc/swaps in newer (2.1.24) kernels. This pseudo file gives information about every swapfile used by the system. This change was contributed by Florian Depke <depke@cs.tu-berlin.de>. o Fixed a cosmetical bug which leaves space between the right end of the bar and the right end of the gauge if the bar should have the same width as the gauge. o There was a bug which cause a segmentation fault after starting xsysinfo if compiled without optimization. This is now fixed. o minor changes to the X resources o The changes in xsysinfo are now explained in a separate CHANGES file. o Added "Maintained-by:" to the LSM file. Ronald Wahl <Ronald.Wahl@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> Changes from version 1.4 to 1.5: o The mem-bar now consist of two segments only: used memory and cache/buffers. o Rename the load to loadavg. o Replaced the idle bar with a load bar consisting of three segments: user load/system load/nice load o Added a define to allow empty segments to disappear (currently the default). Otherwise every segment will be at least 1 pixel wide. To change the behaviour edit the Imakefile, call `imake', `make clean' and `make'. o Changed color of some bars. Ronald Wahl <Ronald.Wahl@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> Changes from version 1.3 to 1.4: o Fixed mem-bar that was broken in 1.3. Removed 4th segment again and merged buffers & cached. o Added -nolabels switch for use with fvwm's GoodStuff (thanks to Ronald Wahl <rwa@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de> for patches) Martin Buck <martin-2.buck@student.uni-ulm.de> Changes from version 1.2 to 1.3: o Made xsysinfo understand new /proc/meminfo format introduced in 1.3.x kernels. o Split mem-bar into 4 segments (data, shared, buffers, cached) if info is available. Martin Buck <martin-2.buck@student.uni-ulm.de> Changes from version 1.1 to 1.2: o load value The gauge for CPU load is now capable to display values up to 8.0. The bar is automatically subdivided in segments when necessary (see. below). o proc filesystem The proc filesystem under kernel 0.99pl5 reports the absolute CPU idle time in file /proc/uptime and not like the earlier kernels, with my patches applied, in file /proc/idle. I changed xsysinfo to obtain the idle value from uptime. o swap display The 0.99pl5 kernel doesn't support a detailed swap space reporting in /proc/meminfo any longer. Only the total swap space statistics can be obtained, so the swap gauge of xsysinfo is not segmented as in version 1.1. o color resources There is a separate resource file for color displays, which is loaded automatically by X's customizations mechanism (see below). Changes from version 1.0 to 1.1: o proc filesystem I have completely rewritten the code to get the kernel params. It now uses the proc filesystem, which made the whole stuff a lot easier. Another advantage of the proc fs is, that xsysinfo can run under normal permissions and need not to be recompiled with every new kernel release. o memory display changed The two gauges for memory and cache sizes are now merged together. The new gauge is still in form of a bar, but is subdivided into three `segments', each displayed in a different color. The meaning of the three segments is: buffer cache, shared part of memory, non-shared part of memory. The length of the whole bar is proportional to the amount of all used memory. o more than one swap area supported The gauge for swap size is now also subdivided, one `segment' for each swap file/partition. o gauges now can be disabled Now it is possible to disable each of the gauges either through application resources or through command line options.
