[announce] Passwd H3 (3.0.1-RC1)

[Jan Schneider]

The Horde Team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of the
Passwd Horde password changing application version H3 (3.0.1).

Passwd provides fairly complete support for changing passwords via Poppassd,
LDAP, Unix expect scripts, the Unix smbpasswd command for SMB/CIFS passwords,
Kolab, ADSI, Pine, Serv-U FTP, VMailMgr, vpopmail, and SQL passwords.

Barring any problems, this code will be released as Passwd H3 (3.0.1).
Testing is requested and comments are encouraged.
Updated translations would also be great.

The major changes compared to the Passwd version H3 (3.0) are:
    * Small improvements to the sql, poppassd, kolab, and expect drivers.
    * Added Japanese and Slovenian translations.
    * Updated Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, German and Italian
      translations.
