    All,

    A new stable version of sysstat (sysstat-5.0.5) has been released. This one may
    be the last one before the beginning of a new development series (5.1.x).
    It fixes a bug in the binary RPM file, where symlinks to sysstat script were
    wrong in the /etc/rc.d directories. It should also get rid of 'mojibakes'
    characters that sar and mpstat could have displayed with some locales like
    ja_JP.

    Also remember that beginning with sysstat 5.0.2, iostat can look again for
    extended statistics in /proc/partitions if available.
    Sysstat 5.0.x can be used with *all* Linux kernels, including recent,
    cutting-edge 2.6.x ones.

    Sysstat 5.0.5 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/
    120kB sysstat-5.0.5.tar.gz
    98kB sysstat-5.0.5.tar.bz2
    123kB sysstat-5.0.5-1.src.rpm
    87kB sysstat-5.0.5-1.i386.rpm

    The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools for
    Linux. These include sar, mpstat, iostat and sa tools.
    Feedback always welcomed . Send your remarks and comments to:
    <sysstat|at|wanadoo|dot|fr>.

    Enjoy!

    Changes vs 5.0.4 are:
    * Timestamp is no longer limited to 11 characters. This should avoid problems
    with somes locales (for example Japanese locale, where 'mojibake' used to be
    displayed by sar and mpstat sometimes).
    * Fixed a bug in sysstat RPM spec file (symlinks to sysstat script were wrong
    in /etc/rc.d directories).
    * sar now checks parameters for options -n, -s and -e more aggressively.
    * NLS updated: Japanese translation added.
    * Various typos fixed in several files (manual pages, README, etc.)
    * CREDITS file updated.
