<h2>New in 2.0.2-ALPHA<a class="headerlink" href="#new-in-2-0-2-alpha" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>THIS IS AN ALPHA-QUALITY RELEASE THAT IS ONLY INTENDED FOR DEVELOPERS
WHOSE APPLICATIONS MAKE USE OF THE CYRUS SASL LIBRARY.</li>
<li>This release is intended to show developers that use Cyrus SASL what
direction we are planning on taking the library so that they can make
plans to migrate their applications accordingly</li>
<li>Major new features included in this release:<ul>
<li>Ability to compile a static library including all mechanisms. This
means lower memory usage and faster mechanism loading time, but
is not for everyone (or even many people). See doc/advanced.html,
as well as the ‘–with-staticsasl’ configure flag.</li>
<li>Man pages should now all be present and are close to being correct.</li>
<li>Can now build libsfsasl and the smtptest program (using the –with-sfio
configure flag)</li>
<li>Reverted to the v1 entry points for mechanisms, to allow v1 mechanisms
to fail loading cleanly.</li>
<li>Auxprop and canon_user plugins can now load from DSOs</li>
<li>Java code now compiles (but is not well tested, or up to date with the
current Java API draft)</li>
<li>Error handling and use of sasl_errdetail has been fleshed out and
should now work in most cases.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Still Coming:<ul>
<li>Cleanup of the client-send-first and server-send-last situation</li>
<li>Error reporting in GSSAPI plugin</li>
<li>Move the sasldb code out of the main library and into plugins and
utilities only.</li>

<ul>
<li><p class="first">THIS IS AN ALPHA-QUALITY RELEASE THAT IS ONLY INTENDED FOR DEVELOPERS

</li>
<li><p class="first">This release is intended to show developers that use Cyrus SASL what
direction we are planning on taking the library so that they can make
plans to migrate their applications accordingly</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">This release implements the SASLv2 API.
Some of the major improvements in the API include:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Memory management is now sane (whoever allocates the memory is responsible
for freeing it)</li>
<li>Auxiliary Property plugin support (ability to interface with directory
services as part of authentication)</li>
<li>Username canonification plugin support</li>
<li>Improved error reporting (not fully implemented in this release)</li>
<li>Database support has been simplified. We now maintain only a single
store of plaintext passwords that is shared by all supplied plugins
(using the auxiliary property interface).</li>
</ul>
<p>The new API is more fully documented in the header files sasl.h, saslplug.h
saslutil.h, and prop.h. The man pages, programmers guide, and system
administrators guide have also been rewritten to deal with the new API.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">There is still a good amount of work to be done, and as this code is alpha
quality, it has bugs, known and unknown. Please either use our bugzilla, or email <a class="reference external" href="mailto:cyrus-bugs%40andrew.cmu.edu">cyrus-bugs<span>@</span>andrew<span>.</span>cmu<span>.</span>edu</a> with questions, comments, or bug reports.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Most notably, the Java bindings have not been converted to work with
the new API, and thus will not compile successfully.</li>
<li>The current development branch with this source is in our
cvs repository as the “sasl-v2-rjs3” branch of the “sasl” collection.
