Bug #922. + + * Fixed building the Python plugin on systems with a compiler that + doesn't support symbol hiding. + + * Sudo now uses a linker script to hide symbols even when the + compiler has native symbol hiding support. This should make is + easier to detect omissions in the symbol exports file, regardless + of the platform. + + * Fixed the libssl dependency in Debian packages on older releases + that use libssl1.0.0. + + * Sudo (and visudo) now provide more detailed messages when there + is a syntax error in sudoers. The offending line and token + is now displayed. If bison is used to generate the parser, + information about what token was expected is also displayed. + + * Sudo no longer refuses to run if a syntax error in the sudoers + file is encountered. The entry with the syntax error will be + discarded and sudo will continue to parse the file. This makes + recovery from a syntax error less painful on systems where sudo + is the primary method of superuser access. + + * Fixed the sample_approval plugin's symbol exports file for systems + where the compiler doesn't support symbol hiding. + What's new in Sudo 1.9.2 * Fixed package builds on RedHat Enterprise Linux 8.
