+What's new in Sudo 1.9.7p1
+
+ * Fixed an SELinux sudoedit bug when the edited temporary file
+   could not be opened.  The sesh helper would still be run even
+   when there are no temporary files available to install.
+
+ * Fixed a compilation problem on FreeBSD.
+
+ * The sudo_noexec.so file is now built as a module on all systems
+   other than macOS.  This makes it possible to use other libtool
+   implementations such as slibtool.  On macOS shared libraries and
+   modules are not interchangeable and the version of libtool shipped
+   with sudo must be used.
+
+ * Fixed a few bugs in the getgrouplist() emulation on Solaris when
+   reading from the local group file.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in sudo_logsrvd that prevented periodic relay server
+   connection retries from occurring in "store_first" mode.
+
+ * Disabled the nss_search()-based getgrouplist() emulation on HP-UX
+   due to a crash when the group source is set to "compat" in
+   /etc/nsswitch.conf.  This is probably due to a mismatch between
+   include/compat/nss_dbdefs.h and what HP-UX uses internally.  On
+   HP-UX we now just cycle through groups the slow way using
+   getgrent().  Bug #978.

 What's new in Sudo 1.9.7
 
  * The "fuzz" Makefile target now runs all the fuzzers for 8192
