To: perfctr-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: perfctr-2.6.10.3 released Version 2.6.10.3 of perfctr, the Linux performance monitoring counters kernel extension, is now available at the usual place: http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/2.6/ This release was necessitated by changes in the 2.6.10-rc1 kernel. I am planning to backport some new features from the perfctr-2.7 development branch. This will unfortunately require updates to the kernel patch files, so to make that task manageable, I intend to obsolete support for a number of old kernels: - All 2.6 kernels older than 2.6.5. - All 2.4 kernels older than 2.4.21, except the last update kernels for RedHat 7.3/8.0/9. - RedHat Enterprise kernels older than 2.4.21-20.EL. - All 2.4.22 Fedora Core 1 kernels. Version 2.6.10.3, 2004-10-24 - Driver modifications to handle two significant changes in the 2.6.10-rc1 kernel. - PPC32: added MPC7447A and MPC7448 support. - Cleanups to bring the driver closer to the development version. / Mikael Pettersson
