MIT krb5 (the source code release) is actively maintained.  KfW (the
Windows binary release based upon MIT krb5) is infrequently updated, and
unfortunately the latest effort to issue a release stalled out due to
installer issues.  The issues are probably cosmetic, but proved
difficult to reproduce and fix.

MIT uses the current KfW release (4.1) internally with Windows 10.

Sometimes it is possible to use the Windows native Kerberos
implementation instead of KfW.  My focus is not on Windows, but I can
try to give advice.
