Wichert Akkerman76baf7c1999-02-19 00:21:36 +000050Changes in version 3.1
51======================
52
53* Irix5 is supported
54* Linux 68k is supported
55* Linux alpha is supported
56* configure is upgraded to autoconf 2.x
57* using -f in combination with -e now works correctly
58* output can be piped to a program
59* tracing setuid programs works better
60* it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances
61* new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole
62 classes of system calls, e.g. -efile traces all system calls that
63 take a file name as an argument
64* IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded
65* Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced
66* Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4
67* various cosmetic changes and bug fixes
68
69Changes from versions 2.x to version 3.0
70========================================
71
72* filename arguments are neither abbreviated nor stringified
73* string arguments are now true C strings using octal instead of hex by default
74* preprocessor constants are never shortened (e.g. was RDONLY => now O_RDONLY)
75* by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file
76* all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats
77* the -c option now means count calls, -i does what the old -c used to do
78
79New Features in version 3.0
80===========================
81
82* non-ascii strings can be optionally printed entirely in hex

86* various tracing features can be enabled on a per syscall/signal/desc basis
87* selective tracing of syscalls
88* selective printing of syscall structures
89* selective abbreviation of long structures on a per syscall basis
90* selective printing of raw syscall arguments and results
91* selective tracing of signals
92* selective dumping of all I/O read from file descriptors
93* selective dumping of all I/O written to file descriptors
94* optional counting of time, calls, and errors for each syscall
