DES transition
==============

The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as weak.  The
krb5-1.7 release contains measures to encourage sites to migrate away
- From using single-DES cryptosystems.  Among these is a configuration
variable that enables "weak" enctypes, which defaults to "false"
beginning with krb5-1.8.

========================================

This is a bugfix release.  The krb5-1.9 release series has reached the
end of its maintenance period, and krb5-1.9.5 is the last planned
release in the series.  For new deployments, installers should prefer
the krb5-1.11 release series or later.

* Prevent the KDC from returning a host-based service principal
  referral to the local realm.

  database were current after the slave received a full dump that
  failed to load.
