The MIT Kerberos Team announces the availability of MIT Kerberos 5
Release 1.3. Please see below for a list of some major changes since
krb5-1.2.8, or consult the README file in the source tree for a more
detailed list of significant changes.
RETRIEVING KERBEROS 5 RELEASE 1.3
=================================
You may retrieve the Kerberos 5 Release 1.3 source from the
following URL:
http://web.mit.edu/network/kerberos-form.html
The homepage for the krb5-1.3 release is:
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/krb5-1.3/

MAJOR CHANGES SINCE RELEASE 1.2.8
=================================
* We now install the compile_et program, so other packages can use the
installed com_err library with their own error tables. (If you use
our com_err code, that is; see below.)
* The header files we install now assume ANSI/ISO C ('89, not '99).
We have stopped testing on SunOS 4, even with gcc. Some of our code
now has C89-based assumptions, like free(NULL) being well defined,
that will probably frustrate any attempts to run this code under SunOS
4 or other pre-C89 systems.
* Some new code, bug fixes, and cleanup for IPv6 support. Most of the
code should support IPv6 transparently now. The RPC code (and
therefore the admin system, which is based on it) does not yet
support IPv6. The support for Kerberos 4 may work with IPv6 in very
limited ways, if the address checking is turned off. The FTP client
and server do not have support for the new protocol messages needed
for IPv6 support (RFC 2429).
* We have upgraded to autoconf 2.52 (or later), and the syntax for
specifying certain configuration options have changed. For example,
autoconf 2.52 configure scripts let you specify command-line options
like "configure CC=/some/path/foo-cc", so we have removed some of
our old options like --with-cc in favor of this approach.
* The client libraries can now use TCP to connect to the KDC. This
may be necessary when talking to Microsoft KDCs (domain controllers),
if they issue you tickets with lots of PAC data.
* If you have versions of the com_err or ss installed locally, you can
use the --with-system-et and --with-system-ss configure options to
use them rather than using the versions supplied here. Note that
the interfaces are assumed to be similar to those we supply; in
particular, some older, divergent versions of the com_err library
may not work with the krb5 sources. Many configure-time variables
can be used to help the compiler and linker find the installed
packages; see the build documentation for details.
* The AES cryptosystem has been implemented. However, support in the
Kerberos GSSAPI mechanism has not been written (or even fully
specified), so it's not fully enabled. See the documentation for
details.
