New Features

  • Added a new parameter, dash.loginuser.skiplist, to specify a list of login users whose entire session is not audited, including all subsequent actions after user switching through su, sudo, or dzdo. The match is performed on the original login user, which is preserved across user switches. See dash.loginuser.skiplist. (722277)

  • SQL Server 2025 is supported. (696420)

Removed Features

  • Removed the parameter dash.sudouser.skiplist.root. It is superseded by dash.loginuser.skiplist, which covers su as well as sudo and applies to the whole session rather than only root sessions. Migrate any existing dash.sudouser.skiplist.root configuration to dash.loginuser.skiplist. See dash.loginuser.skiplist. (722277)
