Added

• SUDO_HOME variable will now be set to the invoking user's home directory

Changed

• Defaults noninteractive_auth now controls whether PAM authentication modules are allowed to attempt authentication when sudo --non-interactive is being used (new default: off). Previous versions had this as always-on to allow fully automatic authentication methods to succeed.

Fixed

• Two bugs in managing the PTY connected to the child process that negatively impacted interactive usability (#1130, #1264)
• visudo --help showed command flags that were removed (#1239)
• Format flags in SUDO_PROMPT were not expanded (#1252)
• sudo would abort with an unhandled exception instead if an attempt was was made to match a "netgroup", instead of ignoring these (#1262)
• A few tokenizer errors in /etc/sudoers processing (#1273, #1274, #1283)
• Some formatting mistakes in the man pages (#1285)
