* Implemented decoding of netlink descriptor attributes as file descriptors.
* Implemented decoding of hugetlb page size selection flags.
* Implemented decoding of BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN, BPF_PROG_GET_NEXT_ID,
BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_ID, BPF_PROG_GET_FD_BY_ID, BPF_MAP_GET_FD_BY_ID,
and BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD commands of bpf syscall.
* Enhanced decoding of get_thread_area, memfd_create, modify_ldt,
perf_event_open, reboot, set_thread_area, and shmget syscalls.
* Implemented decoding of KVM_* ioctl commands.

* Updated lists of MSG_*, NT_*, and SHM_* constants.
* Added manual page for the strace-log-merge command.
* Updated lists of ioctl commands from Linux 4.15.
* Implemented an optional support for symbol demangling in strace -k output
(activated by --with-libiberty configure option).
* Information about availability of demangling and reliable personality
decoding (on architectures with multiple personalities) is now available
in strace -V output.
* Enhanced manual page.
* Bug fixes
* Fixed multi-personality support in cross builds.
* Added mq_getsetattr, mq_notify, mq_open, mq_timedreceive, and mq_timedsend
syscalls to %desc tracing set.
* Fixed path tracing support for mmap syscalls with indirect arguments.
* Fixed corner cases in handling of strace -ff -ttt logs by strace-log-merge.
* Error counts that exceed one billion are now printed correctly in call
summary output.
* Fixed call summary header for x32 personality.
* Changes of tracee personalities are reported more reliably.
* Portability
* A C compiler that can compile ISO Standard C (currently C99) is required.
Older versions without support of "for" loop initial declarations
will not work.
* 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.
