sudo (1.9.15p2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  sudo-ldap has become a burden to maintain. This is mainly due to the fact
  that the sudo team has neither the manpower nor the know-how to maintain
  sudo-ldap adequately.

  In practice, there are few installations that use sudo-ldap. Most
  installations that use LDAP as a directory service and sudo have now opted
  for sssd, sssd-ldap and libsss-sudo.

  The Debian sudo team recommends the use of libsss-sudo for new
  installations and the migration of existing installations from sudo-ldap
   to libsss-sudo and sssd.

  The combination of sudo and sssd is automatically tested in autopkgtest
  of sudo.

  This is also being discussed in #1033728 in the Debian BTS.

  Debian 13, "trixie", will be the last version of Debian that supports
  sudo-ldap. Please use the bookworm and trixie release cycles to migrate
  your installation away from sudo-ldap.

  Please make sure that you do not upgrade from Debian 13 to Debian 14
  while you're still using sudo-ldap. This is not going to work and
  will probably leave you without intended privilege escalation.

sudo (1.9.5p2-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  We have added "Defaults use_pty" to the default configuration. This fixes
  CVE-2005-4890 which has been lingering around for more then a decade.
  If you would like the old behavior back, please remove the respective line
  from /etc/sudoers.

sudo (1.8.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  The sudo package is no longer configured using --with-secure-path.
  Instead, the provided sudoers file now contains a line declaring
  'Defaults secure_path=' with the same path content that was previously
  hard-coded in the binary.  A consequence of this change is that if you
  do not have such a definition in sudoers, the PATH searched for commands
  by sudo may be empty.

  Using explicit paths for each command you want to run with sudo will work
  well enough to allow the sudoers file to be updated with a suitable entry
  if one is not already present and you choose to not accept the updated
  version provided by the package.

sudo (1.7.4p4-2) unstable; urgency=low

  The HOME and MAIL environment variables are now reset based on the
  target user's password database entry when the env_reset sudoers option
  is enabled (which is the case in the default configuration).  Users
  wishing to preserve the original values should use a sudoers entry like:
     Defaults env_keep += HOME
  to preserve the old value of HOME and
     Defaults env_keep += MAIL
  to preserve the old value of MAIL.

  The change in handling of HOME is known to affect programs like pbuilder.

sudo (1.6.8p12-5) unstable; urgency=low

  The sudo package is no longer configured --with-exempt=sudo.  If you 
  depend on members of group sudo being able to run sudo without needing
  a password, you will need to put "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in 
  /etc/sudoers to preserve equivalent functionality.
