Hi everybody,
This is to announce the release of sysstat, version 4.1.4 for Linux.
Various minor bugfixes are included in this version, like the way sar handles
overflow with interfaces counters.
Also option « -x SUM » was removed from sar, since the calculation of the total
number of faults made by the system was rather tricky. Last, the code was
greatly cleaned, and sysstat should now be really lighter than before as a
consequence.
sysstat 4.1.4 is a development version and is available on ibiblio's Linux
archive site (formerly known as Metalab):
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/status/
108kB sysstat-4.1.4.tar.gz
110kB sysstat-4.1.4-1.src.rpm
62kB sysstat-4.1.4-1.i386.rpm
The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools for
Linux. These include sar, mpstat, iostat and sa tools.

Changes vs 4.1.3 are:
2003/07/01: Version 4.1.4
WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the
previous one! Delete existing data files in /var/log/sa directory! [0x2160]
* Fixed the way overflow conditions were handled by sar for interfaces
counters.
* On really big machines with 100 GB of memory or more, the values read by sadc
in /proc/meminfo would get truncated and cause havoc in the calculations. This
is now fixed.
* iostat and sar can now read many more disk entries in /proc/stat if
necessary.
* Option "-x SUM" removed for sar. It was used to tell sar to display the total
number of minor and major faults made by the system. Unfortunately, the
calculation was tricky, and the results were uncertain...
* NLS updated. Polish translation added. Also proper charset and encoding
declarations added to fix msgfmt warnings and allow gettext to recode between
various charsets (e.g. German translation will be shown properly both with
LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1, and LANG=de_DE.UTF-8)
* Code 'sanitization'.
* Manual pages updated.
* README and FAQ files updated.
