This release supports the NSA's high-security SELinux on the 2.6.0 kernel, without any additional libraries required. Thread support no longer sets off chkrootkit on buggy 2.4.xx kernels. (the PID 0 problem) Now "top" works on terminals with auto-margin problems. For those of you still upgrading from procps 2.0.xx releases, you can expect: * ps fully supports thread display (H, -L, m, -m, and -T) * ps can display NSA SELinux security contexts * top can show CPU usage for IO-wait, IRQ, and softirq * can set $PS_FORMAT to choose your own default ps format * better width control ("ps -o pid,wchan:42,args") * width of ps PID column adjusts to your system * vmstat lets you choose units you like: 1000, 1024, 1000000... * top can sort by any column (old sort keys available too) * top can select a single user to display * top can be put in multi-window mode and/or color mode * vmstat has the -s option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems * vmstat has the -f option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems * watch doesn't eat the first blank line by mistake * vmstat uses a fast O(1) algorithm on 2.5.xx kernels * pmap command is SunOS-compatible * vmstat shows IO-wait time * pgrep and pkill can find the oldest matching process * sysctl handles the Linux 2.5.xx VLAN interfaces * ps has a new "-F" format (very nice, like DYNIX/ptx has) * ps with proper BSD process selection * better handling of very long uptimes There's a pro...@li... mailing list you can use for feature requests, bug reports, and so on. Use it!
