+What's new in Sudo 1.7.10p8?
+
+ * Sudo's exit code now indicates a failure if the user does not
+ successfully authenticate.
+
+ * On HP-UX systems, sudo will now use the pstat() function to
+ determine the tty instead of ttyname().
+
+ * Fixed compilation when --without-iologdir configure option is
+ specified.
+
+ * On systems with BSD login classes, if the user specified a group
+ (not a user) to run the command as, it was possible to specify
+ a different login class even when the command was not run as the
+ super user.
+
+ * The closefrom() emulation on Mac OS X now uses /dev/fd if possible.
+ It also now sets the close on exec flag instead of actually
+ closing the descriptors to avoid a crash in libdispatch.
+
+ * The sudoers plugin will now ignore invalid domain names when
+ checking netgroup membership. Most Linux systems use the string
+ "(none)" for the NIS-style domain name instead of an empty string.
+
+ * Fixed the logic when checking environment variables on the
+ command line against the env_check and env_delete blacklists.
+ This is only a problem when env_reset is disabled in sudoers.
