Htop 1.0 Released - How to install from svn on Ubuntu 11.04

After 8 years of development version 1.0 of the top command alternative Htop has been finally released.

Get it here : http://htop.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=downloads

And here's how you can install it on Ubuntu, tested on 11.04.

svn co https://htop.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/htop/trunk htop
./autogen.sh
./configure

if you get errors regarding ncurses (configure: error: missing headers: curses.h) try installing the following packages.

sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

And finally run 

make; sudo make install

What's new in version 1.0:

• Performance improvements
• Support for splitting CPU meters into two or four columns (thanks to Wim Heirman)
• Switch from PLPA, which is now deprecated, to HWLOC.
• Bring back support for native Linux sched_setaffinity, so we don't have to use HWLOC where we don't need to.
• Support for typing in user names and column fields in selection panels.
• Support for UTF-8 tree drawing (thanks to Bin Guo)
• Option for counting CPUs from zero (thanks to Sean Noonan)
• Meters update in every screen (no longer halting while on Setup, etc.)
• Stricter checks for command-line options (thanks to Sebastian Pipping)
• Incremental filtering (thanks to Seth Heeren for the idea and initial implementation)
• Try harder to find the ncurses header (thanks to Moritz Barsnick)
• Man page updates (thanks to Vincent Launchbury)
• BUGFIX: Support larger numbers for process times. (thanks to Tristan Nakagawa for the report.)
• BUGFIX: Segfault in BarMeterMode_draw() for small terminal widths (patch by Sebastian Pipping)
