+Noteworthy changes in release 4.18 (2017-07-05)
+===============================================
+
+* Improvements
+ * Implemented decoding of SCM_TIMESTAMP* control messages.
+ * Implemented decoding of netlink NLMSG_DONE messages.
+ * Implemented decoding of netlink generic nlmsg_type and nlmsg_flags.
+ * Implemented decoding of NETLINK_AUDIT, NETLINK_NETFILTER, NETLINK_ROUTE,
+ NETLINK_SELINUX, NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG, and NETLINK_XFRM message types.
+ * Implemented decoding of NETLINK_GENERIC protocol families.
+ * Implemented basic protocol specific decoding of AF_INET, AF_INET6,
+ AF_NETLINK, AF_PACKET, AF_SMC, and AF_UNIX messages of NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG.
+ * Implemented basic decoding of netlink attributes.
+ * Implemented basic protocol specific decoding of AF_INET, AF_NETLINK,
+ AF_PACKET, AF_SMC, and AF_UNIX netlink attributes of NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG.
+ * Implemented decoding of inet_diag_msg, netlink_diag_msg, and unix_diag_msg
+ netlink attributes of NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG.
+ * Updated lists of ARPHRD_*, KEYCTL_*, NDIAG_SHOW_*, RTM_*, SCM_*, SCTP_*,
+ SO_*, V4L2_*, and prctl ARCH_* constants.
+ * Updated lists of ioctl commands from Linux 4.12.
+
+* Bug fixes
+ * In interactive mode (-I2), those signals that were blocked at startup
+ will remain blocked for the whole period of strace execution.
+ * strace no longer resets SIGCHLD handler in tracees to the default action.
+ * When traced command is terminated by a blocked signal, strace unblocks
+ that signal to ensure its own termination with the same signal.
+ * Fixed corner cases in decoding of old sigaction syscall.
+ * Fixed build with old kernel headers on mips.
+ * Fixed build on aarch64 and tile with glibc >= 2.26.
+ * Fixed build on arc and nios2.
