From Newsgroup: comp.lang.python.announce

Hello all,
I'm glad to announce the release of psutil 7.1.0: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil

About
=====

psutil (process and system utilities) is a cross-platform library for retrieving information on running processes and system utilization (CPU, memory, disks, network) in Python. It is useful mainly for system
monitoring, profiling and limiting process resources and management of
running processes. It implements many functionalities offered by command
line tools such as: ps, top, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, who, df, kill, free, nice, ionice, iostat, iotop, uptime, pidof, tty, taskset, pmap. It
currently supports Linux, Windows, macOS, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
NetBSD and AIX. Supported Python versions are cPython 3.6+ and PyPy.

**Enhancements**

- #2581, [Windows]: publish ARM64 wheels. (patch by Matthieu Darbois)
- #2571, [FreeBSD]: Dropped support for FreeBSD 8 and earlier. FreeBSD 8 was
maintained from 2009 to 2013.
- #2575: introduced `dprint` CLI tool to format .yml and .md files.

**Bug fixes**

- #2473, [macOS]: Fix build issue on macOS 11 and lower.
- #2494, [Windows]: All APIs dealing with paths, such as
`Process.memory_maps()`_, `Process.exe()`_ and `Process.open_files()`_
does
not properly handle UNC paths. Paths such as ``\\??\\C:\\Windows\\Temp``
and
``'\\Device\\HarddiskVolume1\\Windows\\Temp'`` are now converted to
``C:\\Windows\\Temp``. (patch by Ben Peddell)
- #2506, [Windows]: Windows service APIs had issues with unicode services
using
special characters in their name.
- #2514, [Linux]: `Process.cwd()`_ sometimes fail with `FileNotFoundError`
due
to a race condition.
- #2526, [Linux]: `Process.create_time()`_, which is used to univocally
identify a process over time, is subject to system clock updates, and as
such
can lead to `Process.is_running()`_ returning a wrong result. A monotonic
creation time is now used instead. (patch by Jonathan Kohler)
- #2528, [Linux]: `Process.children()`_ may raise ``PermissionError``. It
will
now raise `AccessDenied`_ instead.
- #2540, [macOS]: `boot_time()`_ is off by 45 seconds (C precision issue).
- #2541, 2570_, 2578_ [Linux], [macOS], [NetBSD]: `Process.create_time()`_
does
not reflect system clock updates.
- #2542: if system clock is updated `Process.children()`_ and
`Process.parent()`_ may not be able to return the right information.
- #2545: [Illumos]: Fix handling of MIB2_UDP_ENTRY in `net_connections()`_.
- #2552, [Windows]: `boot_time()`_ didn't take into account the time spent
during suspend / hibernation.
- #2560, [Linux]: `Process.memory_maps()`_ may crash with `IndexError` on
RISCV64 due to a malformed `/proc/{PID}/smaps` file. (patch by Julien
Stephan)
- #2586, [macOS], [CRITICAL]: fixed different places in C code which can
trigger a segfault.
- #2604, [Linux]: `virtual_memory()`_ "used" memory does not match recent
versions of ``free`` CLI utility. (patch by Isaac K. Ko)
- #2605, [Linux]: `psutil.sensors_battery()` reports a negative amount for
seconds left.
- #2607, [Windows]: ``WindowsService.description()`` method may fail with
``ERROR_NOT_FOUND``. Now it returns an empty string instead.
- 2610:, [macOS], [CRITICAL]: fix `cpu_freq()`_ segfault on ARM
architectures.

**Compatibility notes**

- #2571: dropped support for FreeBSD 8 and earlier.
