[Announce] libassuan 2.0.0 released

[Marcus Brinkmann]

Hi,

libassuan 2.0.0 is a new branch of libassuan development.  It provides a
shared library which is a dependency of of the upcoming versions of GPGME,
GnupG 2.1.x and others.  Note that this version of libassuan is incompatible
with previous versions of libassuan, and can not be installed side-by-side
with libassuan 1.0.x.

The sha1sums of these files are:

6880f16b5e3af442b457a86637caa6411b73b677  libassuan-2.0.0.tar.bz2.sig

Because this is the first version of libassuan providing a shared library, a
lot of effort was spent into making the API/ABI of libassuan extensible and
future-proof.  Please see below, the file NEWS and the file
doc/README.apichanges for details.


Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.0 (2009-01-08)
------------------------------------------------

 * Now using libtool and builds a DSO.

 * Lots of interface cleanups.  See below for details of the most
   important changes.  Here is a quick note on how to upgrade:

   For each invocation of the connect or server functions, allocate a
   context with assuan_new and use that.  Instead of assuan_disconnect
   or assuan_deinit_server, call assuan_release.  Use
   assuan_set_gpg_err_source instead of assuan_set_assuan_err_source.
   If you use assuan_pipe_connect with NAME of NULL, you have to
   provide a non-NULL ARGV argument and check that against "server" or
   "client" to determine which end you got after fork().  If you use
   the assuan sock interface, you must call assuan_sock_init after
   setting global context defaults.  Add a NULL as the last arg to
   assuan_register_command.

 * Pth support has changed.  This now follows the same style as
   libgcrypt by setting system hook callbacks.

 * Interface changes relative to the 1.0.5 release:
