Notes on upgrading from an older release
========================================
+o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.23:
+
+ In sudo 1.8.23 the "sudoers2ldif" script and the "visudo -c"
+ functionality has been superseded by the "cvtsudoers" utility.
+ The cvtsudoers utility is intended to be a drop-in replacement
+ for "sudoers2ldif". Because it uses the same parser as sudo
+ and visudo, cvtsudoers can perform a more accurate conversion
+ than sudoers2ldif could.
+
+ To convert a sudoers file to JSON, the format option must be
+ specified. For example, instead of:
+
+ visudo -f sudoers_file -x output_file
+
+ one would use:
+
+ cvtsudoers -f json -o output_file sudoers_file
+
+ Note that unlike "visudo -x", "cvtsudoers" reads from the
+ standard input by default. Also, the base DN may be specified
+ on the command line, if desired, using the -b option.
+
o Upgrading from a version prior to 1.8.20:
Prior to version 1.8.20, when log_input, log_output or use_pty
a pipe is only used for the standard input. Likewise, if
log_output is set without log_input, a pipe is only used for
the standard output and standard error. This results in a
- noticable change in behavior if the use_pty flag is set and no
+ noticeable change in behavior if the use_pty flag is set and no
terminal is present when running commands such as scripts that
execute other commands asynchronously (in the background).
Previously, sudo would exit immediately, causing background
