I've pushed out a 0.9 release with all the fixes collected since the 0.1
release in April. The most notable new features are a manpage and the
smemcap lightweight snapshotting tool for using smem with embedded
system. You can grab it here:

smem 0.9 released

This is fantastic, but relatively little known tool for showing how much memory is actually being used by processes on your system. It would be great to see the PSS and USS measurements more widely used, especially for benchmarking. There is a great LWN article online giving some background, although the name of the tool has changed since it was written...
