Wichert Akkerman76baf7c1999-02-19 00:21:36 +000058Changes in version 3.1
59======================
60
61* Irix5 is supported
62* Linux 68k is supported
63* Linux alpha is supported
64* configure is upgraded to autoconf 2.x
65* using -f in combination with -e now works correctly
66* output can be piped to a program
67* tracing setuid programs works better
68* it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances
69* new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole
70 classes of system calls, e.g. -efile traces all system calls that
71 take a file name as an argument
72* IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded
73* Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced
74* Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4
75* various cosmetic changes and bug fixes
76
77Changes from versions 2.x to version 3.0
78========================================
79
80* filename arguments are neither abbreviated nor stringified
81* string arguments are now true C strings using octal instead of hex by default
82* preprocessor constants are never shortened (e.g. was RDONLY => now O_RDONLY)
83* by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file
84* all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats
85* the -c option now means count calls, -i does what the old -c used to do
86
87New Features in version 3.0
88===========================
89
90* non-ascii strings can be optionally printed entirely in hex

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