Hi everyone,

I’m happy to announce the release of sys-proctable 0.8.0.

The sys-proctable library is a Ruby interface for getting at process  
table information.

There are a lot of changes, but here are the highlights:

- The Linux and Solaris versions are now pure Ruby.
- The Solaris version now only supports 2.8 and later.
- Bug fixes all around ranging from bad struct members to dealing with  
spaces properly.
- Some ProcessTableStruct members have changed.

See the CHANGES file for all the gory details.

To install the latest version, use “gem install sys-proctable”. Note  
that some platforms may explicitly require the “–platform=” option.

You can also get the source from the RubyForge project page at  
[http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/sysutils](http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/sysutils) \*

Enjoy!

Dan

- The tarballs I originally uploaded still contained a bug in Linux.  
If you downloaded the tarball prior to today, please download the  
version that is now on RubyForge. The gems are fine, however.
