    From Giampaolo Rodola'@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 15 14:27:24 2020
    Hello all,
    I'm glad to announce the release of psutil 5.7.1: 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. Supported Python versions are 2.6, 2.7 and
    3.4+. PyPy is also known to work.

    **Enhancements**

    - #1729: parallel tests on UNIX (make test-parallel). They're twice as fast!
    - #1741: "make build/install" is now run in parallel and it's about 15% faster
    on UNIX.
    - #1747: `Process.wait()` on POSIX returns an enum, showing the negative signal
    which was used to terminate the process::
    >>> import psutil
    >>> p = psutil.Process(9891)
    >>> p.terminate()
    >>> p.wait()
    <Negsignal.SIGTERM: -15>
    - #1747: `Process.wait()` return value is cached so that the exit code can be
    retrieved on then next call.
    - #1747: Process provides more info about the process on str() and repr()
    (status and exit code)::
    >>> proc
    psutil.Process(pid=12739, name='python3', status='terminated',
    exitcode=<Negsigs.SIGTERM: -15>, started='15:08:20')
    - #1757: memory leak tests are now stable.
    - #1768: [Windows] added support for Windows Nano Server. (contributed by
    Julien Lebot)

    **Bug fixes**

    - #1726: [Linux] cpu_freq() parsing should use spaces instead of tabs on ia64.
    (patch by Michał Górny)
    - #1760: [Linux] Process.rlimit() does not handle long long type properly.
    - #1766: [macOS] NoSuchProcess may be raised instead of ZombieProcess.
    - #1781: fix signature of callback function for getloadavg(). (patch by
    Ammar Askar)
