Plan to v3

[shirou]

v2 is released May, 2016. After one year, I think it is time to release v3. This issue files breaking changes which we wanted to include v3.

Note: v3 release schedule is not fixed.

• RlimitStat change to int64 from uint64 (add current values to rlimit retrieval #346)
• remove process.NetIoCounter() (process.NetIOCounters is pointless on Linux #429)
• fix typo: "memoryLimitInBbytes" -> memoryLimitInBytes (CgroupMem : fix typo and wrong file names #464)
• add WithContext methods ([Windows] cpu.Info() timing out #469)
• process.GetWin32Proc should not be exposed
• more broadly, have the same public API/types on all platforms (no more public API/types/constants defined only for some platforms)
• mem.VirtualMemoryStat JSON fields proper capitalization (mem.VirtualMemoryStat JSON fields capitalization and TestX_String tests #545)
• return detailed state in process.State (as []string, err), instead of just one state (currently, R: Running S: Sleep T: Stop I: Idle Z: Zombie W: Wait and L: Lock). Linked to Determine if process is running in the foreground #596 (determining background state, see Determine if process is running in the foreground #596 (comment))
• rename load.MiscStat for a better name Rename load.MiscStat #680

RlimitStat change to int63 from int32

Needs to be uint64. While I'm assuming "int63" is a typo for "int64", signed still doesn't support all possible values.

This is the definition of struct rlimit:

struct rlimit {
  unsigned long rlim_cur;
  unsigned long rlim_max;
};

 

Also while breaking changes & release strategy can be a rather heated discussion, not supporting this is a pretty significant bug.

Thanks. I've updated.

Finally v3 released #938.
