description:
The Tiny SRP library is a stripped-down version of srp-1.7.1 and
openssl-0.9.6 that contains only what is necessary for secure remote
passphrase authentication. No other libraries are required. If you
already have libsrp installed on both server and client then you don't
need this. Tiny SRP is designed for embedded or mini distributions, and
is also a quick and easy way to add secure authentication to small
client/server projects. Also included is the TSRP protocol, which
reduces socket authentication to one function call on each of the
client and server.
changes:
Two serious buffer overflows in the TSRP protocol implementation were
fixed, and terminal mode handling for passphrase input was improved.
Also, a patch for netcat 1.10 that implements TSRP authentication is
now available.

ldap-abook is an LDAP-based addressbook application, intended for users
wishing to maintain a centralized server based addressbook. It provides
a schema for an LDAP directory, a Perl library module, and a CGI

Outlook, Lotus Notes, etc.) can be configured to look up email
addresses on the LDAP server. The package also includes a Perl script
which can be used to dump the directory onto a PalmOS device.

windowed mode is now selectable in the preferences dialog. Under BeOS,
Marathon data files can be copied directly from Mac Marathon CD-ROMs.

calls to subroutines. There's also a standard documentation system, as
given by the !help command. This system allows Funbot's functionality
to be extended very easily.
changes:
A fix for a bug involving the datadir option that prevented Funbot from
starting up, changes to make Funbot work with the "new" Net::IRC, and a
change to the logging code to make command-based logging work again
were added.
