Breaking changes:
- Removals:
The following programs and features were deprecated in 4.19 (Herve)
or earlier, and have been removed in 4.20.
- expiry(1) (deprecated in 4.19)
See <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1481>
and <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1432>.
- login.defs(5): ENCRYPT_METHOD: DES (deprecated in 4.19)
See <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1456>.
- login.defs(5): ENCRYPT_METHOD: MD5 (deprecated in 4.19)
See <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1457>.
- login.defs(5): MD5_CRPYT_ENAB (deprecated since the dinosaurs were around)
See <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1455>.
- shadow(5): .sp_min (deprecated in 4.19)
See <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1482>.
This also includes the following removals:
- chage(1): -m,--mindays (also the interactive version)
- passwd(1): -n,--mindays
- login.defs(5): PASS_MIN_DAYS
This feature is considered a vulnerability, and was removed
without replacement.
Programs will now fail when any of those flags or variable are
specified. This is intentional, and should help identify any
scripts that rely on these.
- groupmems(8) (deprecated in 4.19)
See <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/issues/1343>
and <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1601>.
Use usermod(8) instead.
- logoutd(8) (deprecated in 4.19)
See <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/issues/999>
and <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1344>.
- Defaults:
The following default values were changed.
- login.defs(5): Remove defaults for password expiration
(PASS_MAX_DAYS, PASS_WARN_AGE)
See <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1428>.
- login.defs(5): ENCRYPT_METHOD: Default to SHA512 (previously, it was DES)
See <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/issues/1278>
and <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1454>.
- Features
The following features that were optional in 4.19 are now
unconditionally supported in 4.20.

and <https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/1452>.
