The third release candidate for sudo 1.8.10 is now available. Unless
a show stopper is found, sudo 1.8.10 will be released on Monday
March 10th. The biggest change in sudo 1.8.10 is a new time stamp
file format that uses the monotonic clock where available.

Major changes between sudo 1.8.10rc3 and 1.8.10rc2:
* Catalan translation for sudo and Czech translation for sudoers
from translationproject.org.
* The JSON format used by "visudo -x" now properly supports the
negation operator. In addition, the Options object is now the
same for both Defaults and Cmnd_Specs.
Major changes between sudo 1.8.10rc2 and 1.8.10rc1:
* Serbian translation for sudoers from translationproject.org.
* When exporting sudoers in JSON format, visudo now uses the same
type of Options object for both Defaults and Cmnd_Specs.
* Fixed the conversion of the timestamp_timeout from double to
struct timespec when it contains fractional seconds.
Major changes between sudo 1.8.10rc1 and 1.8.10b4:
* Updated translations from translationproject.org.
* Sudo is once again able to open the sudoers file when the group
on sudoers doesn't match the expected value, so long as the file
is not group writable.
* Sudo now installs an init.d script to clear the time stamp
directory at boot time on AIX and HP-UX systems. These systems
either lack /var/run or do not clear it on boot.
Major changes between sudo 1.8.10b4 and 1.8.10b3:
* Updated translations from translationproject.org.
* Fixed a hang (infinite stack recursion) in the getenv() hook on
HP-UX when sudo was built with gcc and linked with the LDAP
libraries.
Major changes between sudo 1.8.10b3 and 1.8.10b2:
* LDAP-based sudoers now uses a default search filter of
(objectClass=sudoRole) for more efficient queries. The netgroup
query has been modified to avoid falling below the minimum length
for OpenLDAP substring indices.
* The new "use_netgroups" sudoers option can be used to explicitly
enable or disable netgroups support. For LDAP-based sudoers,
netgroup support requires an expensive substring match on the
server. If netgroups are not needed, this option can be disabled
to reduce the load on the LDAP server.
Major changes between sudo 1.8.10b2 and 1.8.10b1:
* Sudo now uses inet_pton() for decoding IPv4 addresses. A
version is included for systems without it.
* If sudo was started in the background and needed to prompt for
a password, it was not possible to suspend it at the password
prompt. This now works properly.
Major changes between sudo 1.8.10b1 and 1.8.9:
* It is now possible to disable network interface probing in
sudo.conf by changing the value of the probe_interfaces
setting.
* When listing a user's privileges (sudo -l), the sudoers plugin
will now prompt for the user's password even if the targetpw,
rootpw or runaspw options are set.
* The sudoers plugin uses a new format for its time stamp files.
Each user now has a single file which may contain multiple records
when per-tty time stamps are in use (the default). The time
stamps use a monotonic timer where available and are once again
located in a directory under /var/run. The lecture status is
now stored separately from the time stamps in a different directory.
* sudo's -K option will now remove all of the user's time stamps,
not just the time stamp for the current terminal. The -k option
can be used to only disable time stamps for the current terminal.
