GSS is an implementation of the Generic Security Service Application
Program Interface (GSS-API). GSS-API is used by network servers to
provide security services, e.g., to authenticate SMTP/IMAP clients
against SMTP/IMAP servers. GSS consists of a library and a manual.
The project page of the library is available at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gss/

Noteworthy changes (since 0.0.7, last version announced here):
* Changes in 0.0.9 (released 2004-01-15)
** Implemented gss_export_name and gss_krb5_inquire_cred_by_mech.
The Kerberos 5 backend also support them.
** gss_inquire_cred support default credentials.
** Kerberos 5 gss_canonicalize_name now support all mandatory name types.
** Kerberos 5 gss_accept_sec_context now support sub-session keys in AP-REQ.
** Added new extended function API: gss_userok.
This is the same as invoking gss_export_name on a name, removing the
OID, and then comparing the remaining material using memcmp.
** API documentation in HTML format from GTK-DOC included in doc/reference/.
* Changes in 0.0.8 (released 2004-01-11)
** Moved all backend specific code into sub-directories of lib/.
This means everything related to the Kerberos 5 backend is now located
in lib/krb5/. The backend is built into its own library
(libgss-shishi.so), to facilitate future possible use of dlopen to
dynamically load backends.
** The gss_duplicate_name function now allocate the output result properly.
** Man pages for all public functions are included.
** Documentation fixes. For example, all official APIs are now documented.
