The second beta version of sudo 1.8.15 is now available.
In addition to bug fixes, sudo 1.8.15 includes changes to how the
time stamp files are locked which could use some more extensive
testing. The upshot is that sudo can now be used multiple times
in a pipeline even when a password is required and the user will
only be prompted once.

Major changes between sudo 1.8.15b2 and 1.8.15b1:
* Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.8.14 that prevented visudo from
re-editing the correct file when a syntax error was detected.
* Fixed a bug where sudo would not relay a SIGHUP signal to the
command when the terminal is closed and the command is not run
in its own pseudo-tty. Bug #719
Major changes between sudo 1.8.15b1 and 1.8.14p3:
* Fixed a bug that prevented sudo from building outside the source tree
on some platforms. Bug #708.
* Fixed the location of the sssd library in the RHEL/Centos packages.
Bug #710.
* Fixed a build problem on systems that don't implicitly include
sys/types.h from other header files. Bug #711.
* Fixed a problem on Linux using containers where sudo would ignore
signals sent by a process in a different container.
* Sudo now refuses to run a command if the PAM session module
returns an error.
* When editing files with sudoedit, symbolic links will no longer
be followed by default. The old behavior can be restored by
enabling the sudoedit_follow option in sudoers or on a per-command
basis with the FOLLOW and NOFOLLOW tags. Bug #707.
* Fixed a bug introduced in version 1.8.14 that caused the last
valid editor in the sudoers "editor" list to be used by visudo
and sudoedit instead of the first. Bug #714.
* Fixed a bug in visudo that prevented the addition of a final
newline to edited files without one.
* Fixed a bug decoding certain base64 digests in sudoers when the
intermediate format included a '=' character.
* Individual records are now locked in the time stamp file instead
of the entire file. This allows sudo to avoid prompting for a
password multiple times on the same terminal when used in a
pipeline. In other words, "sudo cat foo | sudo grep bar" now
only prompts for the password once. Previously, both sudo
processes would prompt for a password, often making it impossible
to enter.
* Fixed a bug where sudo would fail to run commands as a non-root
user on systems that lack both setresuid() and setreuid().
Bug #713.
