Wichert Akkerman76baf7c1999-02-19 00:21:36 +000051Changes in version 3.1
52======================
53
54* Irix5 is supported
55* Linux 68k is supported
56* Linux alpha is supported
57* configure is upgraded to autoconf 2.x
58* using -f in combination with -e now works correctly
59* output can be piped to a program
60* tracing setuid programs works better
61* it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances
62* new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole
63 classes of system calls, e.g. -efile traces all system calls that
64 take a file name as an argument
65* IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded
66* Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced
67* Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4
68* various cosmetic changes and bug fixes
69
70Changes from versions 2.x to version 3.0
71========================================
72
73* filename arguments are neither abbreviated nor stringified
74* string arguments are now true C strings using octal instead of hex by default
75* preprocessor constants are never shortened (e.g. was RDONLY => now O_RDONLY)
76* by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file
77* all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats
78* the -c option now means count calls, -i does what the old -c used to do
79
80New Features in version 3.0
81===========================
82
83* non-ascii strings can be optionally printed entirely in hex

85* exit values are printed in an alignment column
86* is is possible to suppress messages about attaching and detaching
87* various tracing features can be enabled on a per syscall/signal/desc basis
88* selective tracing of syscalls
89* selective printing of syscall structures
90* selective abbreviation of long structures on a per syscall basis
91* selective printing of raw syscall arguments and results
92* selective tracing of signals
93* selective dumping of all I/O read from file descriptors
94* selective dumping of all I/O written to file descriptors
95* optional counting of time, calls, and errors for each syscall
