 PLANS: We're now working towards a 1.0 release which is where we plan
        to stabilise the API. We'll be doing test releases before hand,
        but as always we'll like to hear about any bugs found in the
        current release.
 
 libstatgrab 0.90
- * thread safety and reentrant functions
- * API unification (every stats call is enabled returning multiple entries)
- * complete rewrite of internal memory management (ease future extensions)
- * add experimental support for tracing using log4cplus
- * complete ports for AIX, HP-UX and nearly every widely common BSD
- * complete port for Darwin/MacOS X including basic Mach
- * clean up FreeBSD and SOlaris implementation
- * remove explicit Linux 2.4 support
+ * Please note the API in 0.90 has changed, so applications using
+   libstatgrab will need to be updated to support the changes.

----------
