New release candidates for sudo versions 1.8.3 and 1.7.8 are now
available.  These are bug fix releases and do not include any new
features.

Major changes between sudo 1.8.3rc1 and 1.8.3rc2:

 * Added Italian translation for sudo from translationproject.org

 * Updated TROUBLESHOOTING file to match the current state of things.

 * Fixes namespace collision that caused a crash with pam_ssh_agent_auth.

 * Fixed some warnings on FreeBSD.

Major changes between sudo 1.8.2 and 1.8.3rc1:

 * Fixed expansion of strftime() escape sequences in the "log_dir"
   sudoers setting.

 * Added new Esperanto translation from translationproject.org.

 * Sudo will now use PAM by default on AIX 6 and higher.

 * Added --enable-werror configure option for gcc's -Werror flag.

 * Visudo no longer assumes all editors support the +linenumber
   command line argument.  It now uses a whitelist of editors known
   to support the option.

 * Fixed matching of network addresses when a netmask is specified
   but the address is not the first one in the CIDR block.

 * The configure script now check whether or not errno.h declares
   the errno variable.  Previously, sudo would always declare errno
   itself for older systems that don't declare it in errno.h.

 * The NOPASSWD tag is now honored for denied commands too, which
   matches historic sudo behavior (prior to sudo 1.7.0).

 * Sudo now honors the "DEREF" setting in ldap.conf which controls
   how alias dereferencing is done during an LDAP search.

Major changes between sudo 1.7.8rc1 and 1.7.8rc2:

 * Updated TROUBLESHOOTING file to match the current state of things.

 * Fixed some warnings on FreeBSD.

 * "sudo -n -l" now works correctly.

Major changes between sudo 1.7.7 and 1.7.8rc1:

 * Sudo will now use PAM by default on AIX 6 and higher.

 * Added --enable-werror configure option for gcc's -Werror flag.

 * Visudo no longer assumes all editors support the +linenumber
   command line argument.  It now uses a whitelist of editors known
   to support the option.

 * Fixed matching of network addresses when a netmask is specified
   but the address is not the first one in the CIDR block.
