    * Create a max_processes key in the configuration file
      The goal is to reduce the number of displayed processes in the curses UI and 
      so limit the CPU footprint of the Glances standalone mode.
      The API always return all the processes, the key is only active in the curses UI.
      If the key is not define, all the processes will be displayed.
      The default value is 20 (processes displayed).
14 15 16 17 18
    * History feature (--enable-history option on the command line)
      This feature allows users to generate graphs within the curse interface.
      Graphs are available for CPU, LOAD and MEM.
      To generate graph, click on the 'g' key.
      To reset the history, press the 'r' key.

    The Curse interface is almost the same than the version 1.7. Some improvements have been made:
N
Nicolargo 已提交
58 59
    - space optimisation for the CPU, LOAD and MEM stats (justified alignment)
    - CPU:
A
Alessio Sergi 已提交
60
        . CPU stats are displayed as soon as Glances is started
N
Nicolargo 已提交
61 62 63 64 65 66
        . steal CPU alerts are no more logged
    - LOAD:
        . 5 min LOAD alerts are no more logged
    - File System:
        . Display the device name (if space is available)
    - Sensors:
A
Alessio Sergi 已提交
67
        . Sensors and HDD temperature are displayed in the same block
N
Nicolargo 已提交
68 69 70 71 72
    - Process list:
        . Refactor columns: CPU%, MEM%, VIRT, RES, PID, USER, NICE, STATUS, TIME, IO, Command/name
        . The running processes status is highlighted
        . The process name is highlighted in the command line

    Glances 2.0 brings a brand new Web Interface. You can run Glances in Web server mode and
    consult the stats directly from a standard Web Browser.
