When formatting JSON output, octal numbers are now stored as strings, not numbers. The JSON spec does not actually support octal numbers with a 0 prefix.

Fixed a compilation issue on Solaris 9.

Sudo now can handle the getgroups() function returning a different number of groups for subsequent invocations. GitHub PR #106.

When loading a Python plugin, python_plugin.so now verifies that the module loaded matches the one we tried to load. This
allows sudo to display a more useful error message when trying to load a plugin with a name that conflicts with a Python module installed in the system location.

Sudo no longer sets the the open files resource limit to unlimited while it runs. This avoids a problem where sudo's closefrom() emulation would need to close a very large number of descriptors on systems without a way to determine which ones are actually open.

Sudo now includes a configure check for va_copy or __va_copy and only defines its own version if the configure test fails.

Fixed a bug in sudo's utmp file handling which prevented old entries from being reused. As a result, the utmp (or utmpx) file was appended to unnecessarily. GitHub PR #108.

Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.7 that prevented sudo_logsrvd from accepting TLS connections when OpenSSL is used. Bug #988.
