+ What's new in Sudo 1.7.1?
+  * A new Defaults option "pwfeedback" will cause sudo to provide visual
+    feedback when the user is entering a password.
+  * A new Defaults option "fast_glob" will cause sudo to use the fnmatch()
+    function for file name globbing instead of glob().  When this option
+    is enabled, sudo will not check the file system when expanding wildcards.
+    This is faster but a side effect is that relative paths with wildcard
+    will no longer work.
+  * New BSM audit support for systems that support it such as FreeBSD
+    and Mac OS X.
+  * The file name specified with the #include directive may now include
+    a %h escape which is expanded to the short form of hostname.
+  * The -k flag may now be specified along with a command, causing the
+    user's timestamp file to be ignored.
+  * New support for Tivoli-based LDAP START_TLS, present in AIX.
+  * New support for /etc/netsvc.conf on AIX.
+  * The unused alias checks in visudo now handle the case of an alias
+    referring to another alias.
  What's new in Sudo 1.7.0?
   * Rewritten parser that converts sudoers into a set of data structures.
