All,
I have built a sixth (and hopefully last) release candidate of
SASL 2.1.27 which can be downloaded from here:

Note that the distro has been signed by my colleague Partha Susarla
at FastMail.
We didn't receive much feedback to Alexey's post on the GSSAPI/LDAP
issue, so hopefully this release candidate will provoke some
discussion leading to a resolution. As stated previously, we would
like to make a final release before Christmas. If we have some last
minute activity on the GSSAPI issue or any other showstoppers, we
could push the release back to the end of the year as a last resort.
The (mostly) complete list of changes from 2.1.26 are these:
- Added support for OpenSSL 1.1
- Added support for lmdb (from Howard Chu)
- Lots of build fixes (from Ignacio Casal Quinteiro and others)
- Treat SCRAM and DIGEST-MD5 as more secure than PLAIN when
selecting client mech
- DIGEST-MD5 plugin:
- Fixed memory leaks
- Fixed a segfault when looking for non-existent reauth
cache
- Prevent client from going from step 3 back to step 2
- Allow cmusaslsecretDIGEST-MD5 property to be disabled
- GSSAPI plugin:
- Added support for retrieving negotiated SSF
- Fixed GSS-SPNEGO to use flags negotiated by GSSAPI for SSF
- Properly compute maxbufsize AFTER security layers have
been set
- SCRAM plugin:
- Added support for SCRAM-SHA-256
- Allow SCRAM-* to be used by HTTP
- LOGIN plugin:
- Don’t prompt client for password until requested by server
- NTLM plugin:
- Fixed crash due to uninitialized HMAC context
- saslauthd:
- cache.c:
- Don’t use cached credentials if timeout has expired
- Fixed debug logging output
- ipc_doors.c:
- Fixed potential DoS attack (from Oracle)
- ipc_unix.c:
- Prevent premature closing of socket
- auth_rimap.c:
- Added support LOGOUT command
- Added support for unsolicited CAPABILITY responses in
LOGIN reply
- Properly detect end of responses (don’t needlessly
wait)
- Properly handle backslash in passwords
- auth_httpform:
- Fix off-by-one error in string termination
- Added support for 204 success response
- auth_krb5.c:
- Added krb5_conv_krb4_instance option
- Added more verbose error logging
At this point any major changes (e.g. API, wire protocol) will be
pushed out to 2.1.28 or 2.2.0. I believe that this is close to
being a final release which I would like to get out by the end of
December.
