Linux-PAM NEWS -- history of user-visible changes.
+Release 1.5.3
+* configure: added options to configure stylesheets.
+* configure: added --enable-logind option to use logind instead of utmp
+ in pam_issue and pam_timestamp.
+* pam_modutil_getlogin: changed to use getlogin() from libc instead of parsing utmp.
+* Added libeconf support to pam_env and pam_shells.
+* Added vendor directory support to pam_access, pam_env, pam_group, pam_faillock,
+ pam_limits, pam_namespace, pam_pwhistory, pam_sepermit, pam_shells, and pam_time.
+* pam_limits: changed to not fail on missing config files.
+* pam_pwhistory: added conf= option to specify config file location.
+* pam_pwhistory: added file= option to specify password history file location.
+* pam_shells: added shells.d support when libeconf and vendordir are enabled.
+* Deprecated pam_lastlog: this module is no longer built by default because
+ it uses utmp, wtmp, btmp and lastlog, but none of them are Y2038 safe,
+ even on 64bit architectures.
+ pam_lastlog will be removed in one of the next releases, consider using
+ pam_lastlog2 (from https://github.com/thkukuk/lastlog2) and/or
+ pam_wtmpdb (from https://github.com/thkukuk/wtmpdb) instead.
+* Deprecated _pam_overwrite(), _pam_overwrite_n(), and _pam_drop_reply() macros
+ provided by _pam_macros.h; the memory override performed by these macros can
+ be optimized out by the compiler and therefore can no longer be relied upon.
+* Multiple minor bug fixes, portability fixes, documentation improvements,
+ and translation updates.
+
Release 1.5.2
* pam_exec: implemented quiet_log option.
* pam_mkhomedir: added support of HOME_MODE and UMASK from /etc/login.defs.
