The procps team is pleased to announce the release of procps-ng 4.0.0. This
is a major change from previous versions because it uses the newlib branch.
The newlib branch is a major re-work of the procps/proc-2 library API and
has been an undertaking that started around 2015.

procps-ng v4.0.0 is probably not ready for the main path of most
distributions; for example, it will be packaged for Debian experimental,
not Debian Sid. We encourage people with all sorts of setups to test out
this new version and provide feedback.
