GNU SASL 0.2.10

[Simon Josefsson]

I am pleased to announce the availability of GNU SASL version 0.2.10!

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 in libgsasl since version 0.2.9:
- Improve configure checks for libidn, libntlm, libgss and libshishi presence.
- Update of gnulib files, now includes self tests.

Noteworthy changes in gsasl since version 0.2.9:
- Work around bug in GnuTLS that made the command line tool exit after
  failing to write a zero length message to the peer.
- Don't use GnuTLS if gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2 isn't present.
- Update of 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.

If you need help to use GNU SASL, or want to help others, you are
