I am pleased to announce the availability of GNU SASL version 0.2.8!

GNU SASL is a modern C library that implement the standard network
security protocol Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL).
The framework and a couple of common SASL mechanisms are implemented.
GNU SASL can be used by network applications for IMAP, SMTP and
similar protocols to provide authentication services (and more).

Noteworthy changes since version 0.2.7:
- The gsasl tool now support STARTTLS for IMAP and SMTP using GnuTLS.
- The --client and --server parameters for the gsasl tool now work properly.
- The --client and --server stdin/stdout modes now use the readline library.
- The PLAIN mechanism is preferred over LOGIN when both are available.
- Improved checking for libidn when the system need -R, -rpath or similar.
- Fixed build problems in getpass on uClibc and Mingw32 platforms.
- Kinyarwanda translation added.

Improving GNU SASL is costly, but you can help!  We are looking for
organizations that find GNU SASL useful and wish to contribute back.
You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, purchase
support contracts, or donate money or equipment.

Commercial support contracts for GNU SASL are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance.  Simon Josefsson Datakonsult, a
Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding GNU SASL
maintenance.  We are always looking for interesting development
projects.
