Wichert Akkerman76baf7c1999-02-19 00:21:36 +000048Changes in version 3.1
49======================
50
51* Irix5 is supported
52* Linux 68k is supported
53* Linux alpha is supported
54* configure is upgraded to autoconf 2.x
55* using -f in combination with -e now works correctly
56* output can be piped to a program
57* tracing setuid programs works better
58* it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances
59* new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole
60 classes of system calls, e.g. -efile traces all system calls that
61 take a file name as an argument
62* IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded
63* Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced
64* Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4
65* various cosmetic changes and bug fixes
66
67Changes from versions 2.x to version 3.0
68========================================
69
70* filename arguments are neither abbreviated nor stringified
71* string arguments are now true C strings using octal instead of hex by default
72* preprocessor constants are never shortened (e.g. was RDONLY => now O_RDONLY)
73* by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file
74* all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats
75* the -c option now means count calls, -i does what the old -c used to do
76
77New Features in version 3.0
78===========================
79
80* non-ascii strings can be optionally printed entirely in hex
81* the output format is readable when mutiple processes are generating output
82* exit values are printed in an alignment column
83* is is possible to suppress messages about attaching and detaching
84* various tracing features can be enabled on a per syscall/signal/desc basis
85* selective tracing of syscalls
86* selective printing of syscall structures
87* selective abbreviation of long structures on a per syscall basis
88* selective printing of raw syscall arguments and results
89* selective tracing of signals
90* selective dumping of all I/O read from file descriptors
91* selective dumping of all I/O written to file descriptors
92* optional counting of time, calls, and errors for each syscall
