LibGTop 1.0.2 has been released

[Martin Baulig <martin home-of-linux org>]

Hello guys,

LibGTop 1.0.2 "Three Years after Vienna" has been released.

Basically there's no strong need to upgrade from LibGTop 1.0.1 if you were
happy with it, but if you had any problems with it in the past, it is likely
that they're fixed in this release.

However, if you're a BSD user, there are a lot of improvements in this release
so you should consider upgrading.

Have fun,
Martin

* About this release

  This release is be fully binary-compatible with LibGTop 1.0.1 and mainly
  consists of bug fixes.

  I merged everything from the sysdeps directories of the HEAD that's
  currently stable and working into this release so you will also get some
  new features, especially if you're using BSD (see next section).

* Availability:

  The tarball is called libgtop-1.0.2.tar.gz can can be found at:

	ftp://ftp.home-of-linux.org/pub/libgtop/1.0.2
	ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libgtop

  Can can also get LibGTop 1.0.2 from the GNOME CVS Tree; there are tags
  which you can use:

	LIBGTOP_1_0_2		- this is the 1.0.2 release
	LIBGTOP_STABLE_1_0	- this is the stable branch which you
				  should use if you're not a LibGTop
				  developer.

* Important changes between LibGTop 1.0.1 and 1.0.2

  - NetBSD 1.4: Due to some kernel changes you can't use LibGTop 1.0.1
       there any longer, this is now fixed in this release.

  - BSDI: Added new port from Timur Bakeyev.

  - Digital Unix: I recently did some work here, so it compiles and basically
       work, but still not all features are yet supported; you must use
       --enable-hacker-mode to use it.

* About the BSD port

  The BSD port of LibGTop is currently (at least) working on:

  - FreeBSD 2.2.7, 3.0 and 3.1
  - NetBSD 1.3.x and 1.4
  - OpenBSD 2.4
  - BSDI

  Since this port is getting very complex we'll not just use system
  conditionals (such as `#ifdef __FreeBSD__') but also LibGTop version
  conditionals there (such as `#if LIBGTOP_VERSION_CODE > 1001000').

  This will make merging from the HEAD into LIBGTOP_STABLE_1_0 much simpler.

* Documentation

  This release includes the first version of the new LibGTop Manual.
