+- 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+  * The Finnish translation of passwd(1) was outdated and is no more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.

+
+- login
+  * Fix failures with empty usernames on non PAM versions.
+  * Fix CONSOLE (securetty) support on non PAM versions.
+- newgrp
+  * Return the exit status of the child.
+- userdel
+  * On Linux, do not check if an user is logged in with utmp, but check if
+    the user is running some processes.
+  * If not on Linux, continue to search for an utmp record, but make sure
+    the process recorded in the utmp entry is still running.
+  * Report failures to remove the user's mailbox
+  * When USERGROUPS_ENAB is enabled, remove the user's group when the
+    user was the only member.
+  * Do not fail when -r is used and the home directory does not exist.
+- usermod
+  * Check if the user is busy when the user's UID, name or home directory
+    is changed.
