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)

* 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)

(thanks to Wolfram Schlich for assistance with debugging)
* Separate proc and memory debugging into separate #defines.
* BUGFIX: Fix message when configure fails due to
missing libraries
(thanks to Jon)
* BUGFIX: Don't truncate value when displaying a very large
process
(thanks to Bo Liu)
What's new in version 0.6.4
* Add an option to split the display of kernel time
in the CPU meter into system, IO-wait, IRQ and soft-IRQ.
(thanks to Philipp Richter)
* --sort-key flag in the command-line, overriding the
saved setting in .htoprc for the session.
(thanks to Rodolfo Borges)
* BUGFIX: Fixed string overflow on uptime display.
(thanks to Marc Cahalan)
What's new in version 0.6.3
* Performance improvements: uses much less CPU than the
previous release with the default setup.
* Use 64-bit values when storing processor times to
avoid overflow.
* Memory consumption improvements, compensating storage
of 64-bit values.
* Internal change: rename TypedVector to Vector and
ListBox (and related classes) to Panel.
* Have configure actually fail when needed libraries or
headers are not found.
* Horizontally scroll in larger increments when on the
Linux console because of slow update of unaccelerated fb
* No longer untag processes after sending a signal
(useful for when SIGTERM fails and one wants to try again
with SIGKILL). All processes can be untagged at once with 'U'.
(thanks to A. Costa for the suggestion)
What's new in version 0.6.2
* BUGFIX: Fixed crash when using some .htoprc files from 0.6
(thanks to Wolfram Schlich and John Thomas for the reports)
* BUGFIX: Ensure changes to color scheme are saved
* BUGFIX: Make configure behave correctly with --with-proc
* Minor addition to .desktop file.
What's new in version 0.6.1
* New meter type: "All CPUs", which dynamically adjusts
to the number of CPUs present in the machine. Note that
because of this, older versions of htop may crash when
using an .htoprc file modified my the newer version.
* Accept --with-proc=<dir> in configure, to specify
alternative procfs locations (making htop friendlier
to the Linux compatibility layer in FreeBSD)
* Included icon .desktop and desktop entry
(thanks to Peter Hyman)
* Added a check to make sure that a root-user htop closes
when its parent non-root terminal is closed.

systems.
What's new in version 0.5.3

with patched 2.4 kernels which display 2.6-style
information (most notably those on RHEL 3)
(thanks to Fernando Dotta for the report)
* Support $HOME_ETC initiative
(see http://www.pld-linux.org/Docs/home-etc)
(thanks to Roman Barczynski for the tip)

that it fails early on unsupported platforms
instead of during compilation/execution.

status bar consistent across views
