Sudo version 1.6.8 now available

After a long wait, Sudo version 1.6.8 is now available.  It's taken
a while but version 1.6.8 includes some exciting new features.

It is also the first release for which I am offering commercial
support.  If your organization uses Sudo please consider purchasing
a support contract to help fund addition Sudo development.  Please
see http://www.sudo.ws/support.html

Alternately, you can help out by "purchasing" a copy of Sudo or
making a donation at http://www.sudo.ws/purchase.html

Sudo is still free software and I intend for it to remain so but
as I currently lack regular employment I am asking for help from
the Sudo community.  Your support will enable me to continue to
improve Sudo and complete projects such as a proper user's manual
and a major rewrite of large portions of Sudo.

Enough of the commercial, now on to the good part...

Major changes since Sudo 1.6.7p5:

 o LDAP support: sudoers info may be stored in LDAP
   (optionally using TLS).

 o There is a new -e option to edit files the with uid of the
   invoking user.  This makes it possible to give users to ability
   to safely edit files without the possibility of editing other
   files or running commands as the target user.  If sudo is run
   as "sudoedit" the -e flag is implied.
