Hi all,
A couple of hours too late, but I guess most are sleeping anyway(!)
as ever see:

the relevant part of the CHANGELOG:
*** PLEASE READ THE README, it has changed ***
* NOTE, 'su' exhibits a "system error", when static linking is
used. This is because the pam_unix_... module currently only has
partial static linking support. This is likely to change on Monday
June 3, when Alex makes his latest version availible. I will include
the updated module in next release.
changes for .42:
* modified the way in which libpam/pam_modules.h defines prototypes for
the pam_sm_ functions. Now the module must declare which functions it
is to provide *before* the #include <security/pam_modules.h> line.
(for contrasting examples, see the pam_deny and pam_rootok modules)
This removed the ugly hack of defining functions that are never called
to overcome GCC warnings... This seems much tidier.
* updated the TODO list. (changed mailing list address)
* updated README in .../modules to reflect modifications to static
compliation protocol
* modified the pam_modules documentation to describe this.
* corrected last argument of pam_get_item( ... ) in
pam_appl/modules.sgml, to "const void **".
* altered GNU GPL's in the documentation, and various other parts of
the distribution. *Please check* that any code you are responsible for
is corrected.
* Added ./Copyright (please check that it is acceptable)
* updated ./README to make current and indicate the new mailing list
address
* have completely rewritten pam_filter. It now runs modular filter
executables (stored in /usr/sbin/pam_filter/) This should make it
trivial for others to write their own filters.. If you want yours
included in the distribution please email the list/me.
* changes to libpam; there was a silly bug with multiple arguments on a
pam.conf line that was broken with a '\<LF>'.
* 'su' rearranged code (to make better use of PAM)
*Also* now uses POSIX signals--this should help the Alpha port.
* 'passwd' now uses getlogin() to determine who's passwords to change.
