I'd like to announce the release of Cyrus SASL 2.1.25 on
ftp.cyrusimap.org

Major changes in Cyrus SASL 2.1.25:

Added support for channel bindings
Added support for ordering SASL mechanisms by strength (on the client 
side), or using the "client_mech_list" option.
Allow DIGEST-MD5 plugin to be used for client-side and server-side HTTP 
Digest, including running over non-persistent connections (RFC 2617)
New SASL plugin: SCRAM
New SASL plugin: GS2
Updated config to the latest GNU snapshot

Major fixes in Cyrus SASL 2.1.25:

* Fixed a crash caused by aborted SASL authentication
  and initiation of another one using the same SASL context.
* (Windows) Fixed the random number generator to actually produce random
  output on each run
* Various improvements to DIGEST-MD5 to improve interoperability with 
some slightly broken clients

For a complete list look at the NEWS file in the distribution.  Many 
thanks to Alexey Melnikov who did most of the work preparing this release.

Please send any feedback either to [email protected]
(public list) or to [email protected].
