Wichert Akkerman76baf7c1999-02-19 00:21:36 +000052Changes in version 3.1
53======================
54
55* Irix5 is supported
56* Linux 68k is supported
57* Linux alpha is supported
58* configure is upgraded to autoconf 2.x
59* using -f in combination with -e now works correctly
60* output can be piped to a program
61* tracing setuid programs works better
62* it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances
63* new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole
64 classes of system calls, e.g. -efile traces all system calls that
65 take a file name as an argument
66* IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded
67* Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced
68* Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4
69* various cosmetic changes and bug fixes
70
71Changes from versions 2.x to version 3.0
72========================================
73
74* filename arguments are neither abbreviated nor stringified
75* string arguments are now true C strings using octal instead of hex by default
76* preprocessor constants are never shortened (e.g. was RDONLY => now O_RDONLY)
77* by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file
78* all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats
79* the -c option now means count calls, -i does what the old -c used to do
80

82===========================
83
84* non-ascii strings can be optionally printed entirely in hex

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