GNU SASL 0.2.7

[Simon Josefsson]

I am pleased to announce the availability of GNU SASL version 0.2.7!

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 since version 0.2.5:
- Fix build problems when cross-compiling to uClibc/Mingw32 platforms.
- Detecting and using the readline library has been improved.
- Fixed bug in GNU SASL 0.1.x.backwards compatibility code in the
  callback for GSASL_PASSWORD.
- Eliminated some compiler warnings.

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.

If you need help to use GNU SASL, or want to help others, you are
