Package: htop Version: 3.0.5-7 Severity: wishlist Dear maintainer,
there are new upstream releases available, cf. <https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/releases>. The ChangeLog lists | What's new in version 3.1.2 | | * Bugfix for crash when storing modified settings at exit | * Generate xz-compressed source tarball (with configure) using github actions | * Allow -u UID with numerical value as argument | * Added documentation for obsolete/state libraries/program files highlighting | * Some obsolete/stale library highlighting refinements | * Column width issues resolved | * Dynamic UID column sizing improved | * Discard stale information from Disk and Network I/O meters | * Refined Linux kernel thread detection | * Reworked process state handling | * New CCGROUP column showing abbreviated cgroup name | * New OFFSET column in the list of open files screen | | What's new in version 3.1.1 | | * Update license headers to explicitly say GPLv2+ | * Document minimum version for libcap (thanks to James Brown) | * Fix mouse wheel collision with autogroups nice adjustment | * Adjust Makefile.am macro definitions for older automake versions | * Ensure consistent reporting of MemoryMeter 'used' memory | * Report hugepage memory as real and used memory (as before) | * Handle procExeDeleted, usesDeletedLib without mergedCommandline mode | * Validate meter configuration before proceeding beyond htoprc parsing | * Properly release memory on partially read configuration | * Handle interrupted sampling from within libpcp PDU transfers | * On Linux, provide O_PATH value if not defined | * On Linux, always compute procExeDeleted if already set | * Workaround for Rosetta 2 on Darwin (thanks to Alexander Momchilov) | * Fix FreeBSD cmdline memory leak in Process_updateCmdline, and | * Plug a Disk I/O meter memory leak on FreeBSD (thanks to Ximalas) | | What's new in version 3.1.0 | | * Updated COPYING file to remove the PLPA exemption (appendix 2) | With this change the license is now GPLv2 without any additional wording. | * Improved default sort ordering | Note for users: This may lead to an inverted sort order on startup of | htop 3.1.0 compared to previous versions. | This is due to what is stored in your htoprc file. Solution: Press I | (to invert sort order). | This changed setting will be saved by htop on exit as long as it can | write to your htoprc file. | * The compile-time option to cater specifically for running htop as | setuid has been removed | * Add read-only option | This allows htop to be run in an non-intrusive fashion where it acts only | as a process viewer disabling all functions to manipulate system state. | Note: This is not a security feature! | * Move the code for handling the command line formatting related tasks | to be shared across all platforms | This means important features like stale binary/library highlighting | can now be available on all supported platforms. | * Make the EXE and COMM columns available on all platforms | All supported platforms have the name of the executable (EXE) and a | self-chosen thread/command name (COMM) available one way or the other. | Moving this column to be handled as a platform-independently available | information simplifies the markup of the command line. | * Introduce configuration file versioning and config_reader_min_version | Starting with this version the configuration file contains a version | identifying the minimum version of the configuration parser needed to | fully understand the configuration file format. | Old configuration file formats are automatically upgraded when | saving the config file (htoprc). | * Make the configuration parser friendlier to users (thanks to Bart Bakker) | With this change only settings that cannot be parsed properly are | reset to their defaults. | * Improve default display for systems with many CPUs | * Add the process ELAPSED time column | * Improve the process STATE column sorting | * Reworked handling resize and redrawing of the UI | * Fixed an issue where the LED meter mode could overflow allotted space | * Allow text mode Meters to span empty neighbors to the right | * Rescale graph meters when value of total changes | (thanks to Michael Schönitzer) | * Update generic process field display | Usually "uninteresting" values in columns like 1 thread, nice value | of 0, CPU and memory of 0%, idle/sleeping state, etc. are shown with | reduced intensity (dark grey) | * Option and key ("*") to collapse / expand all branches under PID 1 | (and PID 2 if kernel threads are shown) (thanks to Krishna Chaitanya) | * Keep following a process when inverting the sort order, displaying | the help screen or hiding/unhiding userland threads. | If a thread is currently selected the selection is updated to point | to the thread's parent process. (thanks to Gonzalo, et.al.) | * Reorder process scanning to be performed before updating the display | of the meters in the header | * Always check the user for a process for any changes. | This affects multiple platforms that previously didn't correctly handle | the user field for a process to change at runtime (e.g. due to seteuid | or similar syscalls). | * Disable mouse option when support is unavailable | * Support curses libraries without ncurses mouse support | (thanks to Santhosh Raju) | * Support offline and hot-swapping of CPUs on all platforms | * Fix the CPU Meter for machines with more than 256 CPUs | * Supplemented the "show updated/deleted executables" feature (red basename) | to indicate when linked libraries were updated (yellow basename) | * Apply the stale binary highlighting for the EXE column in addition to | the command line field | * Add new combined Memory and Swap meter | * Implement bar and graph mode for NetworkIO Meter | (thanks to Michael F. Schönitzer) | * Rework TTY column to be more consistent across platforms | * Make the CWD column generally available on all platforms | (thanks to Santhosh Raju et. al.) | * Add Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) platform support | This is added via a separate pcp-htop(1) binary which provides remote host | analysis, new Meters for any PCP metric and new Columns for any PCP process | metric - see the pcp-htop(5) man page for further details. | (thanks to Sohaib Mohamed) | * Add Linux columns and key bindings for process autogroup identifier | and nice value | * Change available and used memory reporting on Linux to be based on | MemAvailable (Kernel 3.14+) (thanks to Chris Cheney and Tomas Wido) | * Add a new SysArchMeter showing kernel and platform information | (thanks to ahgamut) | * Linux memory usage explicitly treats tmpfs memory usage as shared memory | This is to make memory used by tmpfs visible as this cannot be freed | unlike normal filesystem cache data. | * Exclude zram devices when calculating DiskIO on Linux | * Use PATH lookup for systemctl in systemd meter (thanks to Scott Olson) | * Add native platform support for NetBSD | This allows htop to run on NetBSD without the need for active Linux | emulation of the procfs filesystem. | (thanks to Santhosh Raju and Nia Alarie) | * Add NetworkIO, DiskIO, CPU frequency, and battery meter support on NetBSD | (thanks to Nia Alarie) | * Fix NetBSD display of in-use and cached memory (thanks to Nia Alarie) | * Rework NetBSD CPU and memory accounting (thanks to Santhosh Raju) | * Fix NetBSD accounting of user and kernel threads (thanks to Santhosh Raju) | * Initial work to allow building with default libcurses on NetBSD | (thanks to Santhosh Raju) | * FreeBSD updates - implement process majflt and processor column values | * Add FreeBSD support for CPU frequency and temperature | * Fixes and cleanups for ZFS Meters and metrics | * Correctly color the ZFS ARC ratio (thanks to Ross Williams) | * Bugfixes related to CPU time display/calculations for darwin on M1 systems | (thanks to Alexander Momchilov) | * Harmonize the handling of multiple batteries across different platforms. | The system is now considered to run on AC if at least one power supply | marked as AC is found in the system. | Battery capacity is summed up over all batteries found. | This also changes the old behavior that batteries reported by the | system after the first AC adapter where sometimes ignored. | * Correctly handle multiple batteries on Darwin. | Resolves a possible memory leak on systems with multiple batteries. | * Handle Linux Shmem being part of Cached in the MemoryMeter | * Add SwapCached to the Linux swap meter (thanks to David Zarzycki) | * Convert process time to days if applicable (thanks to David Zarzycki) | * Always show the number of threads in the TaskMeter, even when threads | are not shown in the process list | * Fix Linux --drop-capabilities option handling | * Correctly detect failure to initialize Linux boottime | * Overhaul the Linux memory fields to partition them like free(1) now does | * Improve the Linux process I/O column values | * Rework the libsensors parsing on Linux | * Update the MemoryMeter to display shared memory | * Update OpenBSD platform - implement additional columns, scan LWP, | proper markup for STATE, show CPU frequency | * Fix the tree view on OpenBSD when hiding kernel threads | * Remove old InfoScreen lines before re-scanning (thanks to Øystein Hiåsen) | * Document historic naming of Light-Weight Processes column aka threads | * Improve user interaction when the last process entry is selected | * Draw the panel header on the TraceScreen (thanks to Youngjae Lee) | * Add mouse wheel scroll and fix mouse selection on the InfoScreen | (thanks to Youngjae Lee) | * Add a HugepageMeter and subtract hugepages from normal memory | * Display wide characters in LED meters and restore non-wide ncurses support | * Add command line option to drop Linux capabilities | * Support scheduler affinity on platforms beyond Linux | * Report on any failure to write the configuration file | * Cache stderr to be able to print assert messages. | These messages are shown in case htop terminates unexpectedly. | * Print current settings on crash | * Reset signal handlers on program exit | * Add configure script option to create a static htop binary | * Resolved longer-standing compilation issues on Solaris/Illumos | * Check for availability of set_escdelay in configure | (thanks to Stefan Polluks) | * Build system updates for autotools 2.70 Of these I'd like to highlight | What's new in version 3.1.0 | * Add the process ELAPSED time column which fixes <https://bugs.debian.org/782636> | * Rework the libsensors parsing on Linux which fixes <https://bugs.debian.org/983352> Please update package when you think it is due time.
