+shadow (1:4.13+dfsg1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ The previous entry falsely states that PREVENT_NO_AUTH in /etc/login.defs
+ affects authentication. The historical default of letting all users with
+ empty password field in without authentication is still in effect.

+shadow (1:4.11.1+dfsg1-0exp1) experimental; urgency=medium
+
+ Login now prevents an empty password field to be interpreted as
+ "no authentication required" for UID 0 (root account).
+ The historical default of letting all users with empty password field
+ in without authentication can be restored in /etc/login.defs setting
+ PREVENT_NO_AUTH to "no".

+ * /etc/securetty is no longer shipped by this package and it is no longer
+ honored in login's PAM configuration by default. Please see #731656 for the
+ details.

+ * commands passed in argument to su must use su's -c option and must quote
+ the command if it contains a space, as in:
+ su - root -c "ls -l /"
+ The following commands won't work anymore:
+ su - root -c ls -l /
+ su - root "ls -l /"
+ su - root ls -l /

+
+ * passwd does not support the -f, -s, and -g options anymore. You should use
+ the chfn, chsh and gpasswd utilities instead.
+ * login now distributes the nologin utility, which can be used as a shell
+ to politely refuse a login

+
+ CLOSE_SESSIONS and other variables are not used anymore in
+ /etc/login/defs.
+ As shadow utilities which use this file now warn about unknown
+ entries there, administrators should remove such unknown entries.
+ The supplied login.defs file does not include them anymore.
+
+ dpasswd is no more distributed by upstream. Login do not support
+ dialup password anymore. Re-introducing this functionality in
+ upstream is not trivial.
