Changes in 4.1 ================ * Linux/MIPS port added * Lots of Linux updates again * Improved IPv6 support * Add strace-graph Changes in 4.0.1 ================ * Minor bugfixes * Compiles on glibc2.0 systems again Changes in 4.0 ============== * Get stat structure properly on Linux 64bit archs * Personalities work again * Compile correctly on SunOS again * IRIX64 updates * Solaris updates Changes in 3.99.1 ================= * Linux (ultra)sparc fixes * Linux alpha fixes * Minor cleanups Changes in 3.99 =============== * New maintainer * add support for more Linux architectures (powerpc, sparc, arm) * support lots more Linux syscalls * fix signal handling * add IPX and IPIP support * check stray syscall after execv * fix hanging children Changes in version 3.1 ====================== * Irix5 is supported * Linux 68k is supported * Linux alpha is supported * configure is upgraded to autoconf 2.x * using -f in combination with -e now works correctly * output can be piped to a program * tracing setuid programs works better * it is now reasonable to install strace setuid to root in some circumstances * new useful tracing names like file and process to trace whole classes of system calls, e.g. -efile traces all system calls that take a file name as an argument * IPC calls on SunOS 4.1.x are decoded * Linux program memory is reliably dereferenced * Linux decodes at least the name of all syscalls as of pre2.0.4 * various cosmetic changes and bug fixes Changes from versions 2.x to version 3.0 ======================================== * filename arguments are neither abbreviated nor stringified * string arguments are now true C strings using octal instead of hex by default * preprocessor constants are never shortened (e.g. was RDONLY => now O_RDONLY) * by default the output for multiple processes now goes into one file * all structures, vectors, bitsets, etc. use consistent output formats * the -c option now means count calls, -i does what the old -c used to do New Features in version 3.0 =========================== * non-ascii strings can be optionally printed entirely in hex * the output format is readable when mutiple processes are generating output * exit values are printed in an alignment column * is is possible to suppress messages about attaching and detaching * various tracing features can be enabled on a per syscall/signal/desc basis * selective tracing of syscalls * selective printing of syscall structures * selective abbreviation of long structures on a per syscall basis * selective printing of raw syscall arguments and results * selective tracing of signals * selective dumping of all I/O read from file descriptors * selective dumping of all I/O written to file descriptors * optional counting of time, calls, and errors for each syscall
