The latest and greatest version of sys-proctable has been released. No new platforms added, but there was an API change, hence the major release number.

See the changelog for details.

Enjoy!

This release now has MS Windows support! Note, however, that it will only work for NT systems (NT, Win2k, XP Pro).

The Windows version also has the boot_time method.

See docs for more details.
