    Is it feature complete? Sudo is still getting 10-30 commits a month. If those are all bug fixes, maybe it’s buggier than we thought. Otherwise it would seem that many of them are new features.

    From the project’s website:

    The sudo 1.8 branch is considered the legacy version. It receives no new features, only critical bug fixes. Users are highly encouraged to migrate to the sudo stable branch.

    This implies that 1.9 may still get new features. And there may one day be a 1.10.

    Here are the latest things fixed in the current patch version of 1.9 branch, 1.9.17p2

    Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.16 that could result in sudo sending SIGHUP to all processes on the system in certain rare cases.

    Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.12 that caused sudo to abort when … [some very specific cases]

    Fixed a bug in sudo’s configure script introduced in sudo 1.9.17 that prevented mdoc-format man pages from being used on systems without the mandoc utility.

    These are all recently introduced bugs that are results of either previous bug fixes or new features.
