Hello all,
I'm glad to announce the release of psutil 5.4.7:
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.

2018-08-14

**Enhancements**

- #1286: [macOS] psutil.OSX constant is now deprecated in favor of new
  psutil.MACOS.
- #1309: [Linux] added psutil.STATUS_PARKED constant for Process.status().
- #1321: [Linux] add disk_io_counters() dual implementation relying on
  /sys/block filesystem in case /proc/diskstats is not available. (patch by
  Lawrence Ye)

**Bug fixes**

- #1209: [macOS] Process.memory_maps() may fail with EINVAL due to poor
  task_for_pid() syscall. AccessDenied is now raised instead.
- #1278: [macOS] Process.threads() incorrectly return microseconds instead of
  seconds. (patch by Nikhil Marathe)
- #1279: [Linux, macOS, BSD] net_if_stats() may return ENODEV.
- #1294: [Windows] psutil.Process().connections() may sometime fail with
  MemoryError.  (patch by sylvainduchesne)
- #1305: [Linux] disk_io_stats() may report inflated r/w bytes values.
- #1309: [Linux] Process.status() is unable to recognize "idle" and "parked"
  statuses (returns '?').
- #1313: [Linux] disk_io_counters() can report inflated IO counters due to
  erroneously counting base disk device and its partition(s) twice.
- #1323: [Linux] sensors_temperatures() may fail with ValueError.
