[Evolution] Exchange: evolution-brutus 1.1.27 and Brutus Server 0.9.33 is out

[Jules Colding <colding omesc com>]

Hi,

evolution-brutus 1.1.27 is out. Long overdue, but now it's here.

The big news item is support for OpenSUSE 10.2. The '/opt' prefix of
gnome in OpenSUSE 10.2 did not add to the fun...

Most of the changes in e-b comes from issues that arose from the effort
of supporting OpenSUSE. 

Changes:
   * evolution-brutus 1.1.27.0
        - Automatically create a MAPI profile when logging on now that
          the server supports it.
        - Make the logon process more robust against unresolved mailbox 
          names.
        - Added a few of m4 macros to "acinclude.m4".
        - Make the folder summary happen one folder at a time instead 
          of in a thread storm. This is making e-b usable when the folder
          summary is updated for a *big* mailbox.
        - Fix a handful of small bugs
        - Support OpenSUSE 10.2
        - Use brutus-keyring instead of gnome-keyring. The need for this 
          arose due to the unpleasant fact the gnome-keyring wasn't readily 
          available on some supported platforms. Being independent from "yet
          another third party package" is also a good thing. The keyring is 
          actually not only suitable for small secrets, such as passwords, but 
          can keep bigger secrets as well. libgcrypt is used for the 
          encryption.
        - Added a brutus-keyring test client
        - Implemented password query program to interface with the new 
          keyring.

   * Brutus Server 0.9.33.17
        - Improve logging to report on a invalid configuration file
        - Generally improve logging of failure cases
        - Automatic MAPI profile creation when logging on
        - Improved documentation
        - Check for presence of a supported MAPI version
        - SSLIOP support has been removed. SSLIOP is no longer needed as
          Lorica will add CORBA firewall support as well as an SSLIOP tunnel
          between Brutus Server and any client application. Some source code 
          and documentation cleanups still remains to be completed.
        - Added MAPI object property scrambling. This is a new feature that 
          makes it possible for an administrator to content scramble specific 
          users. What this means is that any such specified user will able to 
          logon and work as normally with any Exchange mailbox, but will be 
          unable to inspect the content of the following properties:

                a) PR_BODY              ==> 'B'
                b) PR_ATTACH_DATA_BIN   ==> 'A'
                c) PR_SUBJECT           ==> 'S'
                d) PR_BODY_HTML         ==> 'H'

          Each of these properties will see their content replaced byte by byte 
          with the replacement character indicated above. This is primarily 
          useful in debugging situations where it would be useful for a 
          developer to get access to a problematic Exchange mailbox without 
          the developer actually being able to access to content of said 
          mailbox.
