This is a "brown paper bag release" to fix an important problem
discovered in version 0.0.9.
GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
Security Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms. SASL is
used by network servers (e.g., IMAP, SMTP) to request authentication
from clients, and in clients to authenticate against servers.
GNU SASL contains a library (`libgsasl'), a command line utility
(`gsasl') to access the library from the shell, and a manual. The
library includes support for the SASL framework (with authentication
functions and application data privacy and integrity functions) and at
least partial support for the CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS,
PLAIN, SECURID, DIGEST-MD5, LOGIN, NTLM and KERBEROS_V5 mechanisms.
GNU SASL is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
The project page of the library is available at:

Noteworthy changes since the last release:
** The CRAM-MD5 server now reject invalid passwords.
The logic flaw was introduced in 0.0.9, after blindly making code
changes to shut up valgrind just before the release.
** Various build improvements.
Pkg-config is no longer needed. GTK-DOC is only used if present.
