+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.
