[Announce] Libassuan 2.3.0 released

[Werner Koch]

Hello!

The GnuPG Project is pleased to announce the availability of
Libassuan 2.3.0.

Libassuan is a generic IPC library used by GnuPG, GPGME, and a few other
packages.  This release fixes two bugs and introduces new support
functions for the socket wrappers.


Noteworthy changes in version 2.3.0
===================================

 * Now wipes out the memory of the context structure before freeing.
   The context may have stored sensitive data in its line buffers.

 * Fixed a problem with the data length limit in assuan_inquire.

 * Returns GPG_ERR_SOURCE_ASSUAN with errors from functions w/o a
   context.

 * Two new functions to tweak the behaviour of the socket wrappers.

 * Experimental code to support Cygwin's local sockets.

 * By default build without a build timestamp.

 * Interface changes relative to the 2.2.1 release:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 assuan_sock_set_flag     NEW.
 assuan_sock_get_flag     NEW.
