2.1.0 - 2014-04-08
------------------
ENHANCEMENTS
* 387: system-wide open connections a-la netstat.
BUG FIXES
* 421: [Solaris] psutil does not compile on SunOS 5.10 (patch by Naveed
Roudsari)
* 489: [Linux] psutil.disk_partitions() return an empty list.
2.0.0 - 2014-03-10
------------------
ENHANCEMENTS
* #424: [Windows] installer for Python 3.X 64 bit.
* #427: number of logical and physical CPUs (psutil.cpu_count()).
* #447: psutil.wait_procs() timeout parameter is now optional.
* #452: make Process instances hashable and usable with set()s.
* #453: tests on Python < 2.7 require unittest2 module.
* #459: add a make file for running tests and other repetitive tasks (also
on Windows).
* #463: make timeout parameter of cpu_percent* functions default to 0.0 'cause
it's a common trap to introduce slowdowns.
* #468: move documentation to readthedocs.com.
* #477: process cpu_percent() is about 30% faster. (suggested by crusaderky)
* #478: [Linux] almost all APIs are about 30% faster on Python 3.X.
* #479: long deprecated psutil.error module is gone; exception classes now
live in "psutil" namespace only.
BUG FIXES
* #193: psutil.Popen constructor can throw an exception if the spawned process
terminates quickly.
* #340: [Windows] process get_open_files() no longer hangs. (patch by
jtang@vahna.net)
* #443: [Linux] fix a potential overflow issue for Process.set_cpu_affinity()
on systems with more than 64 CPUs.
* #448: [Windows] get_children() and ppid() memory leak (patch by Ulrich
Klank).
* #457: [POSIX] pid_exists() always returns True for PID 0.
* #461: namedtuples are not pickle-able.
* #466: [Linux] process exe improper null bytes handling. (patch by
Gautam Singh)
* #470: wait_procs() might not wait. (patch by crusaderky)
* #471: [Windows] process exe improper unicode handling. (patch by
alex@mroja.net)
* #473: psutil.Popen.wait() does not set returncode attribute.
* #474: [Windows] Process.cpu_percent() is no longer capped at 100%.
* #476: [Linux] encoding error for process name and cmdline.
API CHANGES
For the sake of consistency a lot of psutil APIs have been renamed.
In most cases accessing the old names will work but it will cause a DeprecationWarning.
* psutil.* module level constants have being replaced by functions:
---------------------------------------------------------
| Old name | Replacement |
---------------------------------------------------------
| - psutil.NUM_CPUS | psutil.cpu_cpunt() |
| - psutil.BOOT_TIME | psutil.boot_time() |
| - psutil.TOTAL_PHYMEM | psutil.virtual_memory().total |
---------------------------------------------------------
* Renamed psutil.* functions:
-----------------------------------------------
| Old name | Replacement |
-----------------------------------------------
| - psutil.get_pid_list() | psutil.pids() |
| - psutil.get_users() | psutil.users() |
| - psutil.get_boot_time() | psutil.boot_time() |
-----------------------------------------------
* All psutil.Process get_* methods lost the "get_" prefix.
get_ext_memory_info() renamed to memory_info_ex().
Assuming "p = psutil.Process()":
-------------------------------------------------
| Old name | Replacement |
-------------------------------------------------
| p.get_children() | p.children() |
| p.get_connections() | p.connections() |
| p.get_cpu_affinity() | p.cpu_affinity() |
| p.get_cpu_percent() | p.cpu_percent() |
| p.get_cpu_times() | p.cpu_times() |
| p.get_ext_memory_info() | p.memory_info_ex() |
| p.get_io_counters() | p.io_counters() |
| p.get_ionice() | p.ionice() |
| p.get_memory_info() | p.memory_info() |
| p.get_memory_maps() | p.memory_maps() |
| p.get_memory_percent() | p.memory_percent() |
| p.get_nice() | p.nice() |
| p.get_num_ctx_switches() | p.num_ctx_switches() |
| p.get_num_fds() | p.num_fds() |
| p.get_num_threads() | p.num_threads() |
| p.get_open_files() | p.open_files() |
| p.get_rlimit() | p.rlimit() |
| p.get_threads() | p.threads() |
| p.getcwd() | p.cwd() |
-------------------------------------------------
* All psutil.Process set_* methods lost the "set_" prefix.
Assuming "p = psutil.Process()":
--------------------------------------------------------
| Old name | Replacement |
--------------------------------------------------------
| p.set_nice() | p.nice(value) |
| p.set_ionice() | p.ionice(ioclass, value=None) |
| p.set_cpu_affinity() | p.cpu_affinity(cpus) |
| p.set_rlimit() | p.rlimit(resource, limits=None) |
--------------------------------------------------------
* Except for 'pid' all psutil.Process class properties have been turned into
methods. This is the only case which there are no aliases.
Assuming "p = psutil.Process()":
---------------------------------
| Old name | Replacement |
---------------------------------
| p.name | p.name() |
| p.parent | p.parent() |
| p.ppid | p.ppid() |
| p.exe | p.exe() |
| p.cmdline | p.cmdline() |
| p.status | p.status() |
| p.uids | p.uids() |
| p.gids | p.gids() |
| p.username | p.username() |
| p.create_time | p.create_time() |
---------------------------------
* Others:
* timeout parameter of cpu_percent* functions defaults to 0.0 instead of 0.1.
* long deprecated psutil.error module is gone; exception classes now live in
"psutil" namespace only.
* Process instances' "retcode" attribute returned by psutil.wait_procs() has
been renamed to "returncode" for consistency with subprocess.Popen.- Loading branch information
