The Horde Project is pleased to announce the public release of new sork
modules for Accounts 2.1, Forwards 2.2, Passwd 2.2 and Vacation 2.2.

This announcement notes the significant changes between versions, as well
as providing links to the releases via ftp along with their MD5 checksums.
We consider these releases to be the best versions of these modules available
and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.
