After more than 6 years in development, I'm proud to announce the release of GNU SASL version 1.0!
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 are implemented. GNU SASL can be used by network applications for IMAP, SMTP, XMPP and similar protocols to provide authentication services. Top-level NEWS entries: * Version 1.0 (released 2009-01-23) ** gsasl: New parameter --priority to specify GnuTLS priority strings. Can be used to change TLS settings, which may be needed to talk to some servers. ** gsasl: Print web page links in --help, per new GNU coding standard. ** tests: New self-test for the gsasl_client_suggest_mechanism function. ** doc: Modernize doxygen configuration. ** doc: Use permissive license for man pages. ** doc: Change license on the manual to GFDLv1.3+. Library (lib/) NEWS entries: * Version 1.0 (released 2009-01-23) ** Fix several compiler warnings. ** Update gnulib files. 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. See http://josefsson.org/ for more details. The project's web page is available at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/ All manuals are available from: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/manual/ Specifically, the following formats are available. The main manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/manual/gsasl.html - HTML format http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/manual/gsasl.pdf - PDF format API Reference manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/reference/ - GTK-DOC HTML Doxygen documentation: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/doxygen/ - HTML format http://www.gnu.org/software/gsasl/doxygen/gsasl.pdf - PDF format Instructions for how to build GNU SASL under uClinux are available from <http://josefsson.org/uclinux/>. If your uClinux toolchain is broken, it is possible to build GNU SASL without using the ./configure mechanism, see <http://josefsson.org/uclinux/old/>.
