GNU SASL 0.2.14

[Simon Josefsson]

I am pleased to announce the availability of GNU SASL version 0.2.14!

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 gsasl since version 0.2.13:

** New section "Requirements" in the manual, lists the external components.
Suggested by James Mansion.

** Update of gnulib files.

Noteworthy changes in libgsasl since version 0.2.13:

** New functions to set per-session application hooks.
Earlier only the global functions gsasl_callback_hook_set and
gsasl_callback_hook_set were available, but with the new
gsasl_session_hook_set and gsasl_session_hook_get, it is possible to
store and retrieve per-session specific data.  This simplifies
callback handling in applications.  Suggested by James Mansion.

The new function supersede the gsasl_client_application_data_get,
gsasl_client_application_data_set, gsasl_server_application_data_get,
and gsasl_server_application_data_set functions in the obsolete API.

** API and ABI modifications.
gsasl_session_hook_get,
gsasl_session_hook_set: ADD.

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.
