GNU SASL 1.6.1 released

[Simon Josefsson]

GNU SASL is a modern C library that implement the standard network
security protocol Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL).
The framework itself and a couple of common SASL mechanisms (including
CRAM-MD5 and SCRAM-SHA-1) are implemented.  GNU SASL can be used by
implementations of IMAP, SMTP, XMPP and other application protocols to
provide authentication services.

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 AB, a
Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding GNU SASL
maintenance.  We are always looking for interesting development
projects.  See http://josefsson.org/ for more details.
