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 0.2.28 (released 2008-08-20) ** gsasl: Rewrite to use poll instead of select. Will allow easier porting to Mingw32 in the future. ** doc: Improve Windows installation instructions in the manual. ** tests: New self test of gsasl_mechanism_name function. Library (lib/) NEWS entries: * Version 0.2.28 (released 2008-08-20) ** New function to get mechanism name used in current session. The function is gsasl_mechanism_name. ** The library can be built using Visual Studio. Patches provided by Adam Strzelecki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. See the manual, section 'Installing under Windows', for more information. ** Update gnulib files. Under Windows, the randomness functions will now prefer the Intel RND crypto provider. CryptAcquireContext is now invoked with the CRYPT_VERIFY_CONTEXT parameter. ** API and ABI modifications. gsasl_mechanism_name: ADD. 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.
