- Converted the remaining Tcl tests to Python.
+Release 1.21
+
+* User experience:
+
+ - Added a credential cache type providing compatibility with the
+ macOS 11 native credential cache.
+
+* Developer experience:
+
+ - libkadm5 will use the provided krb5_context object to read
+ configuration values, instead of creating its own.
+
+ - Added an interface to retrieve the ticket session key from a GSS
+ context.
+
+* Protocol evolution:
+
+ - The KDC will no longer issue tickets with RC4 or triple-DES
+ session keys unless explicitly configured with the new allow_rc4
+ or allow_des3 variables respectively.
+
+ - The KDC will assume that all services can handle aes256-sha1
+ session keys unless the service principal has a session_enctypes
+ string attribute.
+
+ - Support for PAC full KDC checksums has been added to mitigate an
+ S4U2Proxy privilege escalation attack.
+
+ - The PKINIT client will advertise a more modern set of supported
+ CMS algorithms.
+
+* Code quality:
+
+ - Removed unused code in libkrb5, libkrb5support, and the PKINIT
+ module.
+
+ - Modernized the KDC code for processing TGS requests, the code for
+ encrypting and decrypting key data, the PAC handling code, and the
+ GSS library packet parsing and composition code.
+
+ - Improved the test framework's detection of memory errors in daemon
+ processes when used with asan.
