Significant changes
-------------------

oas-sudo-shim`.

Upgrade notes
-------------

* As always, make sure to use `apk upgrade --available` when switching betw=
een
  major versions.
* Both `shadow-login` and `util-linux-login` provides `login-utils` with th=
is release.
  The [preferred][login-utils] implementation is from `util-linux`.
