Refactored a private method in the MS Windows source.
Minor fix for one private method test.
Fixed an RbConfig vs Config warning. Thanks Pedro Carrico.
Switched Unix code to use FFI.
Removed all of the C related tasks from the Rakefile and added the gem:build and gem:install tasks.
Internal directory layout changes, with appropriate changes to the gemspec.
Altered the Uptime.seconds implementation on Linux so that it works with both Ruby 1.8.x and 1.9.x. Thanks go to Alexey Chebotar for the spot.
Fixed a date/time issue in the Windows version caused by Ruby itself.
Fixed the Uptime.seconds, Uptime.minutes and Uptime.hours methods on MS Windows.
Renamed the test file to ‘test_sys_uptime.rb’.
Some minor updates to the Rakefile.
Fixed bug in the MS Windows version caused by incorrect parsing of an MS specific date format (caused by a bug in Ruby 1.8.6). Thanks go to Robert H. for the spot.
Inlined the Rake installation tasks, so the install.rb file has been removed.
Added an ‘install_gem’ Rake task, and updated the README installation instructions.
For platforms that use C code, the code now always uses the sysctl() function if supported by your system. This replaces the platform specific checks I was doing for the various BSD flavors.
Fix for OS X - the Uptime.boot_time method now works.
UptimeError is now Uptime::Error.
Improved RDoc in the uptime.c source code.
Added a Rakefile - users should now use the ‘test’ and ‘install’ rake tasks.
Internal layout changes, minor doc updates and gemspec improvements.
No code changes.
Added inline rdoc documentation to the source files.
Added a gemspec.
Changed the Linux version to pure Ruby. The current method of determining uptime in unix.c does not work in Linux kernel 2.6+. So, from now on it reads out of /proc/uptime.
Fixed a potential boot_time bug.
Removed the version.h file. It’s no longer needed since the Windows version is pure Ruby.
NetBSD 2.x and FreeBSD 5.x now supported.
Removed the INSTALL file. Installation instructions are now in the README file.
Removed the uptime.rd file. You can generate html documentation by running rdoc over the uptime.txt file.
Made most documents rdoc friendly.
Moved project to RubyForge.
Moved freebsd code into unix.c file.
Should now work past 249 days (2**31) on systems that have utmpx.h.
Fixed a bug with regards to boot_time, where it was possible that it would simply be empty.
Removed all reference to the CLK_TCK constant, as per documentation from Richard Stevens that it is deprecated and that sysconf() should be used instead (well, I knew about this, but ignored it until now).
Scrapped the C version for Windows in favor of a pure Ruby version that uses win32ole + WMI.
Added a boot_time method for Unix systems (Windows already had this).
Added an UptimeError class on Unix systems (and replaced UptimeException on Windows).
Modified an internal function to raise an UptimeError if the times() function fails. Also, it now returns an unsigned long instead of a plain long.
Replaced the two different test suites with a single, unified test suite.
Cleaned up the extconf.rb script. I now assume that TestUnit is installed.
Removed the load_avg method (which was never advertised and which I hope you weren’t using). You can find a load_avg method in the sys-cpu package.
Changed uptime.rd2 to uptime.rd to be consistent with my other packages.
Removed the uptime.html file - you may generate that on your own.
Added warranty and license info.
Cleaned up some warnings that showed up with -Wall on some unix platforms (int vs long format, explicit include)
Minor test suite and extconf.rb changes
Modified test files to handle HP-UX extensions
Minor doc updates
Added the dhms() method. Actually, this was in the 0.3.0 release, I just forgot to mention it in this file :)
Added OS X support - thanks go to Mike Hall for the patch
Fixed incorrect values in FreeBSD (again Mike Hall)
Modified tc_unix.rb test suite to handle OS X, along with a bit
of minor cleanup
Removed VERSION class method. Use the constant instead
Separated FreeBSD/OS X source into its own file (freebsd.c). The ifdefs were starting to get too ugly for me
Fixed bug in extconf.rb file, and made some major changes
Modified test.rb for those without TestUnit
Modified TestUnit tests - some bogus tests were removed
Added a README file with some additional info
Created a version.h file, so that I can keep the VERSION number in one place
Docs automatically included in doc directory (i.e. no more interactive document creation)
Added MS Windows support
Added a VERSION constant
Added a test suite (for those with TestUnit installed)
Internal directory layout change
uptime.c is now split into unix.c and windows.c (and linked appropriately)
Changelog and Manifest are now CHANGES and MANIFEST, respectively
Many changes to extconf.rb
Added a VERSION class method
Added a copyright notice
Fixed up the docs a bit and moved them to the doc directory
Changed the tarball name to match the RAA package name
Modified test.rb script to make it better
Changed install instructions slightly
Slight change to preprocessor commands to avoid redefining CLK_TCK on those systems that define it in time.h
Added an INSTALL file
The CLK_TCK constant wasn’t necessarily being set correctly, which could lead to some odd results. This has been fixed.
Initial release
Generated with the Darkfish Rdoc Generator 2.
