Awesome! Installing htop is the first thing I do on my *nix systems. The update is still not up on Homebrew, shouldn't take long though.

I was just installing an older version the other day on FreeBSD, and having to mount (unmaintained) procfs was quite annoying. So after seeing this link I specifically went to their site to check what they mean by "cross platform". They say procfs won't be needed anymore.

Speaking of which, does anyone know why OpenJDK wants procfs on FreeBSD? Is this a Java thing or a problem with libraries people write using Java?

I love htop! I hope homebrew gets it soon. Mine only says version 0.8.2.8? I donated $5 to the developer. Thanks for htop

I wonder if this can get into Ubuntu 16.04 before feature freeze in a week or so..

It's not a default package, right? If so it can be updated in the repos.

I used to use htop, but switched to glances at some point, because of a quicker-to-find-the-info-you-want interface.

When I gave up to get it working properly on FreeBSD, I see this news. Great news.

Just now downloaded and compiled it on FreeBSD. Works as expected. Haven't used htop 1.x on FBSD so can't offer a comparison.

I think htop and lua are probably the two main Brazilian contributions to the open source community.

I wager Elixir counts.

htop is an amazing upgrade to plain old top. Thank you for your work on this!

Yes, it is hard top something called top, but htop does! It is a must have.
