+- fix bug discovered and fixed by Marcel Ritter
+  <Marcel.Ritter@rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
+  Due to a big buffer size in lib/commonio.c this error does only appear
+  if a line gets longer than 4096 bytes (there are probably very few people
+  stumbling across this).
+  Ths bug can be exposed by trashing /etc/groups file with using useradd
+  with script:
+	#!/bin/sh
+	typeset -i NUM
+	NUM=0
+	groupadd demogroup
+	while [ $NUM -le 1000 ]; do
+	   useradd -g demogroup -G demogroup -p "NONE" user$NUM
+	   NUM=$NUM+1
+	done
+- remove limit 32 to groups per user by (the same user can belong to
+  more than 32 groups) by use sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX) instead constant
+  NGROUPS_MAX (patch by Radu Constantin Rendec <radu.rendec@ines.ro>)
+  NOTE: it probably need testing on other system for add
+  some condition for using sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX) or NGROUPS_MAX constant,
+- added -s option to {pw,grp}ck to sort checked files by UID/GID,
+- drop detecting is pam_strerror() need one or two arguments. Instead using
+  PAM_STRERROR() macro use directly pam_strerror() function with two
+  arguments. pam_strerror() with one argument is obsoleted,
+- adde ja man pages (probably some man pages need update),
+- much better automake support,
+- added pt_BR man pages for gpasswd(1), groupadd(8), groupdel(8),
+  groupmod(8), shadow(5) (man pages for other nations also are welcome),
+- mamny small fixes and updates nad improvements in man pages,
+- aplayed Debian patch to man pages for shadowconfig,
+- remove limit to 6 chars logged tty name (012_libmisc_sulog.c.diff Debian
+  patch).
