sysstat-5.1.1 - System performance tools for Linux (Sebastien Godard)

Subject: sysstat-5.1.1 - System performance tools for Linux
Hi everybody,
This is to announce that sysstat-5.1.1 has been made available for download.
Check out 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/
130kB sysstat-5.1.1.tar.gz
102kB sysstat-5.1.1.tar.bz2
133kB sysstat-5.1.1-1.src.rpm
101kB sysstat-5.1.1-1.i386.rpm
Sysstat 5.1.1 is the first release of a new development series. See changelog
below for full details.
The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools for
Linux. These include sar, mpstat, iostat, sa scripts, and from now on, a new
command (sadf) aimed at displaying sar data in various formats.
Feedback always welcomed . Send your remarks and comments to:
<sysstat|at|wanadoo|dot|fr>.

Changes vs 5.0.6 are:
WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the
previous one!
* sar now reads CPU data, number of context switches, number of sectors and
total number of interrupts as 64-bit unsigned values. It also reads the number
of running processes as unsigned long instead of unsigned int.
* sadf - System activity data formatter command added.
* Options -h and -H removed from sar. "sar -h" is replaced by "sadf -p", and
"sar -H" is replaced by "sadf -d". Read sadf manual page, as its syntax is a
bit different from that of sar.
* Common code for sar and sadf moved to sa_common.c file.
* pid_stats members don't need to be aligned since these stats are not written
to daily data files. Packing them saves some memory on 32-bit architectures.
* No longer indicate that -x and -X are possible options for sadc. They are
only useful when used as options for sar, not sadc.
* Minor buffer overrun fixed in iostat.
* Updated CPU header for iostat and mpstat: CPU used while executing at the
system level is displayed as '%system' by iostat (like sar) and as '%sys' by
mpstat.
* sadf manual page added. Other manual pages updated.
* Updated the GPL notices (the address of the FSF was wrong).
* Makefile updated.
* NLS updated.
* README, FAQ and CREDITS files updated.
