GNU SASL 1.3.90 - experimental

[Simon Josefsson]

Consider this a release candidate for a stable v1.4.  The most
significant change is to make SCRAM-SHA-1 preferred over CRAM-MD5 and
DIGEST-MD5.

GNU SASL is a modern C library that implement the standard 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
similar protocols to provide authentication services.

Top-level NEWS entries:

** tests/crypto: Also test newly added SHA-1 interfaces.

** tests/scram: Also test GSASL_SCRAM_SALTED_PASSWORD case.
This code path triggered a crash in v1.3.

** i18n: Added Finnish translation.
Thanks to Jorma Karvonen <address@hidden>.

Library (lib/) NEWS entries:

** libgsasl: Properly increment libtool version to reflect newly added ABIs.
This was accidentally forgotten in the last release.

** libgsasl: Export gsasl_sha1 and gsasl_hmac_sha1 in linker version script.
This was accidentally forgotten in the last release.

** libgsasl: Fix crash in SCRAM-SHA-1 client when the application provides
** a value for GSASL_SCRAM_SALTED_PASSWORD.

** libgsasl: Fix detection of libgcrypt during builds.
Before libgcrypt was not detected and used by default unless you
supplied --with-libgcrypt.

** i18n: Added Finnish translation.
Thanks to Jorma Karvonen <address@hidden>.

** i18n: Updated Vietnamese translation.
Thanks to Clytie Siddall <address@hidden>.

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

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 AB, 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.

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/>.
