GNU Generic Security Service 1.0.3 released

[Simon Josefsson]

GSS is an implementation of the Generic Security Service Application
Program Interface (GSS-API).  GSS-API is used by network applications to
implement security services.  For example, an application can use GSS to
authenticate a user against a SMTP or IMAP server for sending or
receiving e-mail.  GSS consists of a library, a manual, and a command
line tool for debugging purposes.

Noteworthy changes since the last version:

** gss: The command line tool can now initialize and accept security contexts.
This is useful for debugging.  See the section "Invoking gss" in the
manual for more information.

** i18n: Translations were updated.

** build: Update gnulib files.

** API and ABI modifications.
No changes since last version.

While written to be flexible with regards to different GSS mechanisms,
the only currently supported mechanism is Kerberos V5 via GNU Shishi.
Mutual and non-mutual authentication and channel bindings, as client
and server, is supported.  Message privacy protection using DES and
3DES is supported.

GSS aims to be internationalized, thread safe and portable.  GSS is
written in ANSI/ISO C89, and has been ported to numerous platforms, even
cross compiled to embedded platforms such as Motorola Coldfire.

GSS is a GNU project, and is licensed under the GNU General Public
License version 3 or later.

Improving GSS is costly, but you can help!  We are looking for
organizations that find GSS useful and wish to contribute back.  You can
contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate money or
equipment.

Commercial support contracts for GSS are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance.  Simon Josefsson Datakonsult AB, a
Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding GSS
maintenance.  We are always looking for interesting development
projects.
