Wichert Akkerman76baf7c1999-02-19 00:21:36 +000064Changes in version 3.1
65======================
66
67* Irix5 is supported
68* Linux 68k is supported
69* Linux alpha is supported
70* configure is upgraded to autoconf 2.x
71* using -f in combination with -e now works correctly
72* output can be piped to a program
73* tracing setuid programs works better
74* it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances
75* new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole
76 classes of system calls, e.g. -efile traces all system calls that
77 take a file name as an argument
78* IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded
79* Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced
80* Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4
81* various cosmetic changes and bug fixes
82
83Changes from versions 2.x to version 3.0
84========================================
85
86* filename arguments are neither abbreviated nor stringified
87* string arguments are now true C strings using octal instead of hex by default
88* preprocessor constants are never shortened (e.g. was RDONLY => now O_RDONLY)
89* by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file
90* all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats
91* the -c option now means count calls, -i does what the old -c used to do
92

103* selective abbreviation of long structures on a per syscall basis
104* selective printing of raw syscall arguments and results
