Sure. Some of the most important changes since 2.1.19 (which is in sarge
and etch at the moment) -- this includes both upstream and packaging
changes -- are:
* LDAP auxprop support -- no need to run saslauthd to authenticate
against an LDAP directory.
* Rewrite of Kerberos / GSSAPI plugins -- plus build against MIT
Kerberos instead of Heimdal.
* Separate configuration file and plugin directories -- no more
"secret conf files in /usr/lib/sasl2" (this change is what broke
Postfix).
* Security fixes included (sarge has them backported via security
updates).
* Debug packages and testing tools provided.
Plus, more than two years worth of bug fixes and small improvements
upstream, a complete rewrite of the Debian packaging using dpatch,
collaborative maintenance via Alioth, ...
I guess this qualifies as "short" :)
