Starting with version 4.13, strace follows the schedule of linux kernel and new versions of strace are released along with new version of linux kernel, so strace 4.18 is tagged and uploaded.
This release contains a significantly enhanced netlink parser, thanks
to JingPiao Chen who prepared for merge the most of remaining parts
of the code written by Fabien Siron last year, and wrote some code
and tests as a part of his GSoC 2018 strace project.

============================
* Improvements

* 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.

* 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 build with old kernel headers on mips.
* Fixed build on aarch64 and tile with glibc >= 2.26.
* Fixed build on arc and nios2.
