+- general
+  * Improved support for large groups (impacts most user/group management
+    tools).
+
+- addition of system users or groups
+  * Speed improvement. This should be noticeable in case of LDAP configured
+    systems. This should impact useradd, groupadd, and newusers
+  * Since system accounts are allocated from SYS_?ID_MIN to SYS_?ID_MAX in
+    reverse order, accounts are packed close to SYS_?ID_MAX if SYS_?ID_MIN
+    is already used but there are still dome gaps.
+
+- login
+  * Add support for shells being a shell script without a shebang.
+- su
+  * Preserve the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY environment variables. This was
+    only the case in the non PAM enabled versions.
+  * Add support for shells being a shell script without a shebang.
+
+*** translation
+  * The Finnish translation of passwd(1) was outdated and is no more
+    distributed.
