Noteworthy changes in release 5.0 (2019-03-19)
==============================================
* Changes in behavior
* -D option now implies -I4: by default strace ignores SIGHUP, SIGINT,
SIGQUIT, SIGPIPE, SIGTERM, SIGTTIN, SIGTTOU, and SIGTSTP when -D option
is used.
* Diagnostic message is no longer printed if an attempt to restart a process
has failed with ESRCH. (Addresses RHBZ bug #1662936.)

it can fail with a diagnostic message after dumping only a part.

to accommodate all the digits of all the offsets being printed.
* Improvements
* Changed the way tracees are handled: all pending tracees are now waited for
before further processing, this improves fairness of tracee processing.
(Addresses RHBZ bugs #478419, #526740, #851457, #1609318, #1610774,

* Changes in behaviour
* When printing string data, '8' and '9' following an octal escape sequence
no longer lead to unabbreviated octal escape sequence output, as they used
to do.
* Angle brackets are now printed as octal number escape sequences
in the output of paths associated with file descriptors.
* Data dump for write syscalls (-e write) is performed regardless
of successfulness of these syscall (addresses Debian bug #436284).
* -r and -t options are now affect output independently. Previously,
-r option led to ignoring of the -t option (addresses Debian bug #466195).
* Improvements
* Implemented delay injection (-e inject=SET:delay_enter= and
-e inject=SET:delay_exit= options).

* Portability
* A C compiler that supports "for" loop initial declarations is now required.
* Inability to configure multiple personality support on architectures where
multiple personalities are supported leads to configuration failure during
build now. Use --enable-mpers=check to revert to the old behaviour.
* Build-time requirement for the mpers support has been lowered from gawk 4
to gawk 3.
* Removed incomplete and non-functional support for the CRIS architecture.
* Removed incomplete and unused support for IA-32 mode on the IA-64
