  correct process. Fix suggested by Daniel Trnka.

================================

* Added tracing of processes created with the clone syscall (commonly
  known as threads).

* gdb.py: add "gcore" command, dump the process memory.

* Fix ptrace binding: clear errno before calling ptrace().

* Fix PtraceSyscall.exit() for unknown error code

* Project moved to GitHub: https://github.com/haypo/python-ptrace

  "ctypes.get_errno()" function

  "ctypes.c_int8", "ctypes.c_uint32", ... types


python-ptrace 0.9 (2016-04-23)
==============================

* Add all Linux syscall prototypes

* Add error symbols (e.g. ENOENT), in addition to error text, for
  strace

* Fix open mode so O_RDONLY shows if it's the only file access mode

* Python 3: fix formatting of string syscall arguments (ex:
  filenames), decode bytes from the locale encoding

* Issue #17: syscall parser now supports O_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC,
  fix unit tests on Python 3.4 and newer


python-ptrace 0.8.1 (2014-10-30)
================================

* Update MANIFEST.in to include all files

* Fix to support Python 3.5


python-ptrace 0.8 (2014-10-05)
==============================

* Issue #9: Rewrite waitProcessEvent() and waitSignals() methods of
  PtraceProcess to not call waitpid() with pid=-1. There is a race
  condition with waitpid(-1) and fork, the status of the child process
  may be returned before the debugger is noticed of the creation of
  the new child process.

* Issue #10: Fix PtraceProcess.readBytes() for processes not created
  by the debugger (ex: fork) if the kernel blocks access to private
  mappings of /proc/pid/mem. Fallback to PTRACE_PEEKTEXT which is
  slower but a debugger tracing the process is always allowed to use
  it.


python-ptrace 0.7 (2013-03-05)
==============================

* Experimental support of Python 3.3 in the same code base

* Drop support of Python 2.5

* Remove the ptrace.compatibility module

* Fix Process.readStruct() and Process.readArray() on x86_64

* Experimental support of ARM architecture (Linux EAPI), strace.py has
  been tested on Raspberry Pi (armv6l)

================================

* Fix os_tools.RUNNING_LINUX for Python 2.x compiled on Linux kernel
  3.x

* Project website moved to: "http://bitbucket.org/haypo/python-
  ptrace/"

* Create MemoryMapping.search() method and MemoryMapping now keeps a
  weak reference to the process


python-ptrace 0.6 (2009-02-13)
==============================

User visible changes:

* python-ptrace now depends on Python 2.5

* Invalid memory access: add fault address in the name

* Update Python 3.0 conversion patch

* Create -i (--show-ip) option to strace.py: show instruction pointer

* Add a new example (itrace.py) written by Mark Seaborn and based on
  strace.py

API changes:

* PtraceSyscall: store the instruction pointer at syscall enter (if
  the option instr_pointer=True, disabled by default)

* Remove PROC_DIRNAME and procFilename() from ptrace.linux_proc

Bugfixes:

* Fix locateProgram() for relative path

* Fix interpretation of memory fault on MOSVW instruction (source is
  ESI and destination is EDI, and not the inverse!)


python-ptrace 0.5 (2008-09-13)
==============================

Visible changes:

* Write an example (the most simple debugger) and begin to document
  the code

* gdb.py: create "dbginfo" command

* Parse socket syscalls on FreeBSD

* On invalid memory access (SIGSEGV), eval the dereference expression
  to get the fault address on OS without siginfo (e.g. FreeBSD)

* Fixes to get minimal Windows support: fix imports, fix
  locateProgram()

Other changes:

* Break the API: - Rename PtraceDebugger.traceSysgood() to
  PtraceDebugger.enableSysgood() - Rename PtraceDebugger.trace_sysgood
  to PtraceDebugger.use_sysgood - Remove PtraceProcess.readCode()

* Create createChild() function which close all files except stdin,
  stdout and stderr

* On FreeBSD, on process exit recalls waitpid(pid) to avoid zombi
  process


python-ptrace 0.4.2 (2008-08-28)
================================

* BUGFIX: Fix typo in gdb.py (commands => command_str), it wasn't
  possible to write more than one command...

* BUGFIX: Fix typo in SignalInfo class (remove "self."). When a
  process received a signal SIGCHLD (because of a fork), the debugger
  exited because of this bug.

* BUGFIX: Debugger._wait() return abnormal process exit as a normal
  event, the event is not raised as an exception

* PtraceSignal: don't clear preformatted arguments (e.g. arguments of
  execve)


python-ptrace 0.4.1 (2008-08-23)
================================

* The project has a new dedicated website: http://python-
  ptrace.hachoir.org/

* Create cptrace: optional Python binding of ptrace written in C
  (faster than ptrace, the Python binding written in Python with
  ctypes)

* Add name attribute to SignalInfo classes

* Fixes to help Python 3.0 compatibility: don't use sys.exc_clear()
  (was useless) in writeBacktrace()

* ProcessState: create utime, stime, starttime attributes


python-ptrace 0.4.0 (2008-08-19)
================================

Visible changes:

* Rename the project to "python-ptrace" (old name was "Ptrace)

* strace.py: create --ignore-regex option

* PtraceSignal: support SIGBUS, display the related registers and the
  instruction

* Support execve() syscall tracing

Developer changes:

* New API is incompatible with 0.3.2

* PtraceProcess.waitProcessEvent() accepts optional blocking=False
  argument

* PtraceProcess.getreg()/setreg() are able to read/write i386 and
  x86-64 "sub-registers" like al or bx

* Remove iterProc() function, replaced by openProc() with explicit
  call to .close() to make sure that files are closed

* Create searchProcessesByName()

* Replace CPU_PPC constant by CPU_POWERPC and create CPU_PPC32 and
  CPU_PPC64

* Create MemoryMapping object, used by readMappings() and findStack()
  methods of PtraceProcess

* Always define all PtraceProcess methods but raise an error if the
  function is not implemented
