Starting with version 4.13, strace follows the schedule of linux kernel
and new versions of strace are released along with new versions of linux
kernel, so strace 5.2 is tagged and uploaded.

$ git tag -v v5.2 2> /dev/null | sed -n '/^$/,$p'

Noteworthy changes in strace 5.2 (2019-07-12)
=============================================

* Improvements
  * Implemented syscall return status filtering with -e status=set option
    and its aliases: -z (limit syscall printing to successful syscalls only)
    and -Z (limit syscall printing to failed syscalls only).
  * Implemented decoding of open_tree, move_mount, fsopen, fsconfig, fsmount,
    and fspick syscalls.
  * Enhanced decoding of bpf, clone, inotify_init, mbind, and set_mempolicy
    syscalls.
  * Updated lists of AT_*, AUDIT_*, BPF_*, CLONE_*, ETH_*, KEY_*, KVM_*, MPOL_*,
    TIPC_*, and V4L2_* constants.
  * Updated lists of ioctl commands from Linux 5.2.

* Bug fixes
  * Fixed syscall tampering on powerpc, powerpc64, sparc, and sparc64 when
    PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO is in use.
  * Fixed build with cutting-edge toolchain.
