This release fixes a pgrep/pkill crash, fixes "ps
sm" for single-threaded apps, and fixes a problem
with stale entries in the w program. A buffer
overflow was fixed. SCHED_BATCH is known to ps.
Terabytes of memory are supported. Documentation
for top's H option was written. Time stolen from a
virtual machine is displayed. Some miscellaneous
patches (which Linux vendors left in locked filing
cabinets with "beware of the leopard" signs) were
applied.
This release fixes some rare crashes, spelling
errors, %CPU display of threaded apps on 2 to 9
CPUs, and operation with 512+ CPUs. It also gives
"top" an "H" option for display of individual
threads.
This release adds UTF-8 support to ps, along with many minor enhancements and fixes. The FAQ has been updated. Those that ship the FAQ as part of a package (not suggested) should be sure to get a fresh copy. The 2.6.10 kernel, as well as the current pre-release versions, may be used to get correct %CPU data for multi-threaded processes.
