Major changes between sudo 1.9.15p5 and 1.9.16b1:

 * Added the "cmddenial_message" sudoers option to provide additional
   information to the user when a command is denied by the sudoers
   policy.  The default message is still displayed.

 * The time stamp used for file-based logs is now more consistent
   with the time stamp produced by syslog.  GitHub issues #327.

 * Sudo will now warn the user if it can detect the user's terminal
   but cannot determine the path to the terminal device.  The sudoers
   time stamp file will now use the terminal device number directly.
   GitHub issue #329.

 * The embedded copy of zlib has been updated to version 1.3.1.

 * Improved error handling if generating the list of signals and signal
   names fails at build time.

 * Fixed a compilation issue on Linux systems without process_vm_readv().

 * Fixed cross-compilation with WolfSSL.

 * Added a "json_compact" value for the sudoers "log_format" option
   which can be used when logging to a file.  The existing "json"
   value has been aliased to "json_pretty".  In a future release,
   "json" will be an alias for "json_compact".  GitHub issue #357.

 * A new "pam_silent" sudoers option has been added which may be
   negated to avoid suppressing output from PAM authentication modules.
   GitHub issue #216.

 * Fixed several cvtsudoers JSON output problems.
   GitHub issues #369, #370, #371, #373, #381.

 * When sudo runs a command in a pseudo-terminal and the user's
   terminal is revoked, the pseudo-terminal's foreground process
   group will now receive SIGHUP before the terminal is revoked.
   This emulates the behavior of the session leader exiting and is
   consistent with what happens when, for example, an ssh session
   is closed.  GitHub issue #367.

 * Fixed "make test" with Python 3.12.  GitHub issue #374.

 * In schema.ActiveDirectory, fixed the quoting in the example command.
   GitHub issue #376.

 * Paths specified via a Chdir_Spec or Chroot_Spec in sudoers may
   now be double-quoted.

 * Sudo insults are now included by default, but disabled unless
   the --with-insults configure option is specified or the "insults"
   sudoers option is enabled.

 * The default sudoers file now enables the "secure_path" option
   by default and preserves the EDITOR, VISUAL, and SUDO_EDITOR
   environment variables when running visudo.
