gtop 1.0.2 ("The Failsafe Release") has been released



Hello, you people walking under the Sun

GTop 1.0.2 "The Failsafe Release" has been made.

* Availability:

	ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtop/gtop-1.0.2.tar.gz

* Major new features:

	- This is the first release of GTop that has at least minimal
	  support for Solaris and other systems that are not yet
	  supported.

	- This means, if LibGTop doesn't have some feature, GTop will
	  ignore this feature - but not attempt to divide by zero or
	  do other bad things.

* What you'll get:

	- A GTop that works with the `stub' sysdeps code of LibGTop;
	  that is, you can at least see the Filesystem Usage.

* Who needs to upgrade:

	- People on Solaris and other systems without a LibGTop port
	  were you were not able to use GTop at all before.

	- All people who want to help me with the Solaris port of LibGTop.

* What it is not:

	- This release is only interesting for people who were not able
	  to use GTop at all before.

	- There is no reason to upgrade if you already have a working GTop.

	- A GTop that really "works" on Solaris; until the Solaris port
	  of LibGTop is ready it will only display things that are
	  already implemented and ignore the rest.

* Technical Details:

	- On startup, GTop checks which features LibGTop has on the
	  current system.

	- In the properties dialog, all features that aren't supported
	  by LibGTop are set insensitive and ignored by the code.

	- It does no longer attempt to divide by zero if LibGTop does
	  not provide certain features.

Keep on dreaming you people walking under the Sun ...
Solaris LibGTop is coming soon,
