The Horde Team is pleased to announce the final release of the Passwd Horde
password changing application version H3 (3.1).

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.

The major changes compared to Passwd version H3 (3.1-RC2) are:
     * Fixed a bug in the procopen driver

The major changes compared to Passwd H3 (3.0) versions are:
     * Added an HTTP web form driver
     * Added expect support for sudo and for the PECL expect extension
     * Added support for switching passwords from one encryption scheme
       to another
     * Better accessibility
     * Added Turkish translation
