+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

+shadow (1:4.0.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  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.
