[announce] Passwd 2.2.1-RC1

[Jan Schneider]

The Horde Team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of the
Passwd Passwort Management Application version 2.2.1.

Passwd is the Horde password changing application.  Right now, Passwd provides fairly complete support for changing passwords via poppassd, ldap, unix expect scripts, the unix smbpasswd command for smb/cifs password support, servuftp, vmailmgr, vpopmail, and sql passwords.

Barring any problems, this code will be released as Passwd 2.2.1.
Testing is requested and comments are encouraged.
Updated translations would also be great.

Changes in this release:
    - Fixed broken backward compatibility in vpopmail and sql drivers.
    - Documentation updates.
    - Added translations: Arabic (Syrian), Danish, Galician, Hungarian,
      Indonesian, Lithuanian and Romanian. 
    - Updated translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Traditional),
      Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian and
      Swedish.
