Hi Everybody,
In case you haven't been monitoring the git repository, there have been
numerous changes to top, ps and the library over the past several months.
The following summarizes those changes. Perhaps it could be used to update
NEWS should the transition to procps-ng ever be completed.
Regards,
Jim
