    Hi all,

    Yes, that's it: sysstat 5.0.0, the new stable release is now available for all
    of you wanting to keep an eye on the performance of their Linux box.

    It is available for download from my web page at:
    http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sebastien.godard/

    It is also available on ibiblio's Linux archive site:
    ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/status/
    113kB sysstat-5.0.0.tar.gz
    92kB sysstat-5.0.0.tar.bz2
    117kB sysstat-5.0.0-1.src.rpm
    80kB sysstat-5.0.0-1.i386.rpm

    The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools for
    Linux. These include sar, mpstat, iostat and sa tools.

    Enjoy!

    Changes vs 4.1.7 are:
    2003/11/09: Version 5.0.0 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr>
    * New fields added to mpstat: %irq (%time spent servicing interrupts) and %soft
    (%time spent servicing softirqs).
    * sar and iostat updated to take into account time spent servicing interrupts
    and softirqs when displaying percentage of time in system mode.
    * By default iostat now displays only statistics information for devices that
    are used by the system. You should now use the ALL keyword to tell iostat to
    display statistics for every device including those that have never been used.
    * The file version.h is now dynamically created. sysstat's version number is
    now only recorded in the Makefile.
    * sar manual page updated: beginning with kernels 2.4 and later, pgpgin and
    pgpgout statistics are in kilobytes and not in blocks (see
    linux-2.4/fs/proc/proc_misc.c and linux-2.6/mm/page_alloc.c).
    * iostat and mpstat manual pages updated.
    * Makefile updated: don't process NLS files if they are up-to-date.
    * sysstat's RPM spec file updated to enable clean, non-root builds.
    * NLS updated.
    * FAQ and CREDITS files updated.
