This is to announce gsasl-2.2.2, a stable release. GNU SASL is a modern C library that implement the network security protocol Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL). The framework itself and a couple of common SASL mechanisms are implemented. GNU SASL can be used by network applications for IMAP, SMTP, XMPP and other protocols to provide authentication services. Supported mechanisms include CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS, PLAIN, SECURID, DIGEST-MD5, SCRAM-SHA-1(-PLUS), SCRAM-SHA-256(-PLUS), GS2-KRB5, SAML20, OPENID20, LOGIN, and NTLM.

Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify gsasl-2.2.2.tar.gz.sig The signature should match the fingerprint of the following key: pub ed25519 2019-03-20 [SC] B1D2 BD13 75BE CB78 4CF4 F8C4 D73C F638 C53C 06BE uid Simon Josefsson <si...@josefsson.org> If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, or that public key has expired, try the following commands to retrieve or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. gpg --locate-external-key si...@josefsson.org gpg --recv-keys 51722B08FE4745A2 wget -q -O- 'https://savannah.gnu.org/project/release-gpgkeys.php?group=gsasl&download=1' | gpg --import - As a last resort to find the key, you can try the official GNU keyring: wget -q https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg gpg --keyring gnu-keyring.gpg --verify gsasl-2.2.2.tar.gz.sig Use the .proof files to verify the Sigsum proof. These files are like signatures but with extra transparency: you can cryptographically verify that every signature is logged in a public append-only log, so you can say with confidence what signatures exists. This makes hidden releases no longer deniable for the same public key. Releases are Sigsum-signed with the following public key: cat <<EOF > jas-sigsum-key.pub ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAILzCFcHHrKzVSPDDarZPYqn89H5TPaxwcORgRg+4DagE EOF Run a command like this to verify downloaded artifacts: wget -q -Otrust.txt https://gnu.org/s/gsasl/sigsum-policy-20250309.txt sigsum-verify -k jas-sigsum-key.pub -p trust.txt \ gsasl-2.2.2.tar.gz.proof < gsasl-2.2.2.tar.gz You may learn more about Sigsum concepts and find instructions how to download the tools here: https://www.sigsum.org/getting-started/ This release is based on the gsasl git repository, available as git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gsasl.git with commit 50df5266e709c6e2cc4d3e7d95e6f7444578b7e6 tagged as v2.2.2. For a summary of changes and contributors, see: https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gsasl.git;a=shortlog;h=v2.2.2 or run this command from a git-cloned gsasl directory: git shortlog v2.2.1..v2.2.2 This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Gnulib 2025-02-01 c89cd2fbd3b9f3d7c5a146247256599714c91ec7 Autoconf 2.71 Automake 1.16.5 Libtoolize 2.4.7 Make 4.3 Makeinfo 7.1.1 Help2man 1.49.2 Gperf 3.1 Gengetopt 2.23 Gtkdocize 1.34.0 Tar 1.34 Gzip 1.13 Guix 744cf07005745312ccddb549bb1bab5ab7031106 NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 2.2.2 (2025-03-30) [stable] ** The release tarball is now reproducible. Builds on the following pairs of systems are tested continuously in GitLab CI/CD to assert that the tarball is identical: Trisquel 11 against Ubuntu 22.04, PureOS 10 against Debian 11, Devuan 5 against Debian 12, AlmaLinux 8 against RockyLinux 8, and AlmaLinux 9 against RockyLinux 9. There are still minor variations between non-similar platforms, depending on the different versions of the bootstrapping tools used. For example, a tarball generated on a Trisquel 11 (derived from Ubuntu 22.04) system should be identical to a tarball from a Ubuntu 22.04 system, but will not be identical to a tarball generated on a PureOS 10 system which uses different bootstrapping tool versions. The release archive itself was prepared using Guix. ** We publish a minimal source-only tarball generated by 'git archive'. This tarball only contains the files stored in version controlled sources, and no auxiliary files. The source-only tarball may be reproduced with Git 2.49.0 from Guix. If something results in the 'git archive' format changing again, the tarball can only be reproduced using an earlier system. The git version in AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, RockyLinux 8, RockyLinux 9, Devuan 5, Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04 all produce the same identical 'git archive' tarball. The git version used on Debian 11, PureOS 10, Trisquel 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 produce another identical tarball. These two 'git archive' outputs are not the same, due to how Git works. The release archive itself was prepared using Guix. ** The release tarball uses tar --format=ustar. Some other flags are added too, to follow these recommendations: https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Reproducibility.html For reference, the GNUMakefile file from gnulib add to TAR_OPTIONS: --owner=0 --group=0 numeric-owner --sort=name The cfg.mk file further add: --mode=go+u,go-w --mtime=$(abs_top_srcdir)/NEWS The modification time of NEWS is always set to last git commit time before release, see below AC_OUTPUT in configure.ac. We hope that the tarball produced this way is usable on all host but please let us know if you run into troubles like unpacking the tarball or that some generated file is rebuilt needlessly requiring some maintainer tool that shouldn't normally be needed. ** libgsasl: Support for macOS GSS framework. Build using --with-gssapi-impl=framework to get native GSS-API implementation on macOS. Patch from Daniel Macks. ** The gsasl tool now binds the "gnulib" domain for translations. ** The gsasl.h header #include's sys/types.h instead of unistd.h for ssize_t. ** Update gnulib files and build fixes.
