+What's new in Sudo 1.8.19
+
+ * New "syslog_maxlen" Defaults option to control the maximum size of
+   syslog messages generated by sudo.
+
+ * Sudo has been run against PVS-Studio and any issues that were
+   not false positives have been addressed.
+
+ * I/O log files are now created same group ID as the parent directory
+   and not the invoking user's group ID.
+
+ * I/O log permissions and ownership are now configurable via the
+   "iolog_mode", "iolog_user" and "iolog_group" sudoers Defaults
+   variables.
+
+ * Fixed configuration of the sudoers I/O log plugin debug subsystem.
+   Previously, I/O log information was not being written to the
+   sudoers debug log.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in visudo that broke editing of files in an include
+   dir that have a syntax error.  Normally, visudo does not edit
+   those files, but if a syntax error is detected in one, the user
+   should get a chance to fix it.
+
+ * Warnings about unknown or unparsable sudoers Defaults entries now
+   include the file and line number of the problem.
+
+ * Visudo will now use the file and line number information about an
+   unknown or unparsable Defaults entry to go directly to the file
+   with the problem.
+
+ * Fix a bug in the sudoers LDAP back-end where a negated sudoHost
+   entry would prevent other sudoHost entries following it from matching.
+
+ * Warnings from visudo about a cycle in an Alias entry now include the
+   file and line number of the problem.
+
+ * In strict mode, visudo will now use the file and line number
+   information about a cycle in an Alias entry to go directly to the
+   file with the problem.
+
+ * The sudo_noexec.so file is now linked with -ldl on systems that
+   require it for the wordexp() wrapper.
+
+ * Fixed linking of sudo_noexec.so on macOS systems where it must be
+   a dynamic library and not a module.
+
+ * Sudo's "make check" now includes a test for sudo_noexec.so
+   working.
+
+ * The sudo front-end now passes the user's umask to the plugin.
+   Previously the plugin had to determine this itself.
+
 What's new in Sudo 1.8.18p1
 
  * When sudo_noexec.so is used, the WRDE_NOCMD flag is now added
