* Fix mouse wheel collision with autogroups nice adjustment
* Adjust Makefile.am macro definitions for older automake versions
* Ensure consistent reporting of MemoryMeter 'used' memory

* 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.
