    - Adding swap_(in|out)_R also for kernel >2.5
    - Renaming pages_(in|out) to blocks_(in|out)_R and adding it also for kernel >2.5
    - adding cpu_iowait, interrupts_R and context_switches_R

2.2.12 Thu Sep 27 17:41:17 CEST 2007
    - fixing logger imports in ProcInfo
    - added splitting support for large parameter sets.
    - aded setMaxMsgSize() to set the maximum lenght of the message - this triggers when splitting should occur

2.2.11 Tue Mar  6 16:50:05 CET 2007
    - catching and ignoring useless stack traceback of Python trying to access None variable while interpreter shutdown
    - fixing logger-related examples
    
2.2.10 Fri Feb  9 23:08:21 CET 2007
    - logging constants moved inside class to avoid spurious errors on class destruction
    - if available, use 'settimeout' instead of 'setsockopt' for the socket used for config reading,
      since there are problems on 64bit platforms with packing the needed bytes

2.2.9 Tue Aug 22 12:01:13 CEST 2006
    - job monitoring checks the given pid when adding/removing job to monitor
    - fixed children detection mechanism

2.2.8 Mon Aug 21 14:41:33 CEST 2006
    - fixed job parameters monitoring if one of the sub-processes of the job stops at some point
    
2.2.7 Wed Jun 14 11:31:13 CEST 2006
    - added mem_actualfree: actually free memory: free + cached + buffers
    - fixed bug in loading configuration from url (sometimes the config file wasn't fully retrieved)
    - fixed uptime when machine started since less than a day
    - convert long values to doubles

2.2.6 Wed May 24 17:04:09 CEST 2006
    - added new parameters: kernel_version, platform, os_type, mem_buffers, mem_cached
    - introduced setup.py to standardize the installation of this module. Thanks to Brian Bockelman!

2.2.5 Tue May  9 20:36:55 CEST 2006
    - added try/except around each method that could raise an error
    - ApMon InstanceID is generated differently in an attempt to better avoid collisions

2.2.4 Sun Apr  2 19:05:46 CEST 2006
    - added timeouts for network operations (config loading). We don't use anymore urllib2 which
      doesn't support timeouts in Python 2.2
    - fixed crash when failing to resolve destination hosts
    - fixed sequence numbers when sending to multiple destinations
    - fixed number of sent parameters when some of them have undefinded values
    - added two new methods: setDestinations() and initializedOK() (see readme)

2.2.3 Tue Mar 28 14:08:59 CEST 2006
    - redirected to /dev/null the output from netstat - on some RH machines it could print strange errors
    - if loglevel is DEBUG, print more details about the built packet
    
2.2.2 Tue Mar 21 15:31:47 CET 2006
    - when free is called, don't return until the 2 daemon threads are stopped
    
2.2.1 Mon Mar  6 17:35:14 CET 2006
    - Allow initialization of ApMon with a second parameter - the logLevel
    
2.2.0 Wed Feb 22 09:25:51 EET 2006
    - Changed protocol (requires ML Service >= 2.4.10) so that each UDP packet includes 2 new INT32 fields
      to identify the sender and the sequence number. This will enable ML Service to detect lost packets,
      if it is configured to do so.
    - ignore parameter with None name or None name.

2.1.1 Tue Feb 14 17:55:01 EET 2006 
    - fix options for multiple destinations.
    - sendBgMonitoring accepts now a parameter to force sending the bgMonitoring, regardles of how much time passed since last sent
    - LoadAvg (load1, load5, load15) works on Darwin (Mac OS X).
    - fixed reporting cummulative values (ethX_yyy, swap in/out, pages in/out, cpu_zzz).

2.1.0 Fri Jan 13 10:50:48 EET 2006
    - change version to 2.1
    - arange 'tab' character for one function in ProcInfo.py (readNetStat)

2.0.10 Mon Dec 19 11:44:08 EET 2005
    - added sockets info (tcp, udp, unix) and connection states for tcp sockets from netstat
    - sorted the list of sent parameters - it should be easier to find them in the GUI client
    - decreased the default max rate of sent messages to 20 per second.

2.0.9 21.NOV.2005
    - produce the number of running, sleeping, io blocked, zombie, stopped processes.

2.0.8 27.OCT.2005
    - fixed division by zero when no swap space is available.
    - don't compute the used_swap and used_mem unless we have values for total and free mem and swap.
