    2016-10-23

    ✨ Enhancements

    • 🏁 874_, [Windows]: make net_if_addrs()_ also return the netmask.
    • 🐧 887_, [Linux]: virtual_memory()_ available and used values are more precise and match free cmdline utility. available also takes into account LCX containers preventing available to overflow total.
    • 891_: procinfo.py_ script has been updated and provides a lot more info.

    🐛 Bug fixes

    • 🍎 514_, [macOS], [critical]: Process.memory_maps()_ can segfault.

    • 858_: Process.as_dict()_ should not call Process.memory_info_ex()_ because it's deprecated.
    • 🏁 863_, [Windows]: Process.memory_maps()_ truncates addresses above 32 bits.
