===============================================

* Changes in behavior
  * Some syscalls have different names depending on architecture and

  * Implemented reliable tracing of processes whose personality differs
    from the personality of strace, fixed decoding of 32-bit personality
    syscalls on 64-bit architectures.
  * When some data referenced by syscall arguments is irrelevant or cannot
    be read from tracee's memory, strace now prints its address consistently.

    shows the syscall name on architectures that expose this information.

Changes in 4.5.4
==============
* Update Linux ioctl lists.
* Update PF_* and AF_* value lists.
* The 4.5.3 -p behavior for NPTL threads applies only under -f, and got fixed.

Changes in 4.5.3
==============
* Bug fixes.
* On Linux using NPTL threads, -p will now attach to all threads in a process.
* Handle new mq_* system calls in Linux 2.6.6 and later.

Changes in 4.5.2
==============
* Bug fixes.
* Report some new VM_* bit values on Linux.

Changes in 4.5.1
==============
* Bug fixes.
* Display multiple ioctl name matches on Linux.

Changes in 4.5
==============
* New port to AMD's x86-64 architecture. One strace binary can
  handle both new x86-64 and old i386 processes.
* Fixed support for LFS64 calls.
* New switch -E to add/remove environment variables for the command.
* Merged s390/s390x port.
* Trace an unbounded number of processes.
* Handle numerous new system calls in Linux 2.5, and new threads semantics.
* Fixed bugs with attach/detach leaving things stopped.
* Fixed traced process seeing ECHILD despite live, traced children
  in waitpid calls with WNOHANG.
* Stuart Menefy contributed a port to Linux/SH.
* Stephen Thomas contributed a port to Linux/SH64.
* Many other bug fixes.

Changes in 4.4
==============
* Fix Linux/ia64 support, looks like someone renamed a few things on us
* Fix the ioctl setup for Linux, turned out it did not really work.
  Improve the ioctl extracter as well so we decode some more ones.

Changes in 4.3.1
================
* compile fixes for Linux/mips

Changes in 4.3
==============
* Linux ia64 and hppa ports added
* The usual Linux syscall updates (includes 32bit uid/gid support),
* Linux ioctl list updated
* Support IPv6 scope ids
* FreeBSD/i386 port added
* UnixWare and Solaris updates
* Better support for tracing multithreaded processes in Linux

Changes in 4.2
==============
* Compiles on glibc2.0 systems again
* Linux/S390 port added
* The usual Linux syscall updates
* we can follow fork on arm now

Changes in 4.1
================
* Linux/MIPS port added
* Lots of Linux updates again
* Improved IPv6 support
* Add strace-graph

Changes in 4.0.1
================
* Minor bugfixes
* Compiles on glibc2.0 systems again

Changes in 4.0
==============
* Get stat structure properly on Linux 64bit archs
* Personalities work again
* Compile correctly on SunOS again
* IRIX64 updates
* Solaris updates

Changes in 3.99.1
=================
* Linux (ultra)sparc fixes
* Linux alpha fixes
* Minor cleanups

Changes in 3.99
===============
* New maintainer
* add support for more Linux architectures (powerpc, sparc, arm)
* support lots more Linux syscalls
* fix signal handling
* add IPX and IPIP support
* check stray syscall after execv
* fix hanging children

Changes in version 3.1
======================

* Irix5 is supported
* Linux 68k is supported
* Linux alpha is supported
* configure is upgraded to autoconf 2.x
* using -f in combination with -e now works correctly
* output can be piped to a program
* tracing setuid programs works better
* it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances
* new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole
  classes of system calls, e.g. -efile traces all system calls that
  take a file name as an argument
* IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded
* Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced
* Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4
* various cosmetic changes and bug fixes

Changes from versions 2.x to version 3.0
========================================

* filename arguments are neither abbreviated nor stringified
* string arguments are now true C strings using octal instead of hex by default
* preprocessor constants are never shortened (e.g. was RDONLY => now O_RDONLY)
* by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file
* all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats
* the -c option now means count calls, -i does what the old -c used to do

New Features in version 3.0
===========================

* non-ascii strings can be optionally printed entirely in hex
* the output format is readable when mutiple processes are generating output
* exit values are printed in an alignment column
* is is possible to suppress messages about attaching and detaching
* various tracing features can be enabled on a per syscall/signal/desc basis
* selective tracing of syscalls
* selective printing of syscall structures
* selective abbreviation of long structures on a per syscall basis
* selective printing of raw syscall arguments and results
* selective tracing of signals
* selective dumping of all I/O read from file descriptors
* selective dumping of all I/O written to file descriptors
* optional counting of time, calls, and errors for each syscall
