Hello all, I'm glad to announce the release of psutil 5.4.8: 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, both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, with Python versions from 2.6 to 3.6. PyPy is also known to work.

**Enhancements**

- #1197: [Linux] cpu_freq() is now implemented by parsing /proc/cpuinfo in case /sys/devices/system/cpu/* filesystem is not available. - #1310: [Linux] psutil.sensors_temperatures() now parses /sys/class/thermal in case /sys/class/hwmon fs is not available (e.g. Raspberry Pi). (patch by Alex Manuskin) - #1320: [Posix] better compilation support when using g++ instead of gcc. (patch by Jaime Fullaondo)

**Bug fixes**

- #715: do not print exception on import time in case cpu_times() fails. - #1004: [Linux] Process.io_counters() may raise ValueError. - #1277: [OSX] available and used memory (psutil.virtual_memory()) metrics are not accurate. - #1294: [Windows] psutil.Process().connections() may sometimes fail with intermittent 0xC0000001. (patch by Sylvain Duchesne) - #1307: [Linux] disk_partitions() does not honour PROCFS_PATH. - #1320: [AIX] system CPU times (psutil.cpu_times()) were being reported with ticks unit as opposed to seconds. (patch by Jaime Fullaondo) - #1332: [OSX] psutil debug messages are erroneously printed all the time. (patch by Ilya Yanok) - #1346: [SunOS] net_connections() returns an empty list. (patch by Oleksii Shevchuk)
