GNU SASL 0.2.24

[Simon Josefsson]

This is a quick release to make it work better under MinGW and with
libgcrypt...  See below for a link to the Windows installer.

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).

Top-level NEWS entries:

* Version 0.2.24 (released 2008-01-15)

** Link self-tests with gnulib, to fix link failures under MinGW.

Library (lib/) NEWS entries:

* Version 0.2.24 (released 2008-01-15)

** When libgcrypt is used, disable secure memory to make things work.

** When built under MinGW, generate a libgsasl-XX.def using -Wl,--output-def.

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/>.

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.
