This is the code freeze for the krb5-1.8.2 release, which will
probably have a final release early next week.

The README file contains a more extensive list of changes.

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 now defaults to "false"
beginning with krb5-1.8.  The krb5-1.8 release includes additional
measures to ease the transition away from single-DES.  These
additional measures include:

* enctype config enhancements (so you can do "DEFAULT +des", etc.)
* new API to allow applications (e.g. AFS) to explicitly reenable weak
  crypto
* easier kadmin history key changes

Major changes in 1.8.2

This is primarily a bugfix release.

  ** CVE-2010-1320 KDC double free caused by ticket renewal
     (MITKRB5-SA-2010-004)
  ** CVE-2010-1321 GSS-API lib null pointer deref (MITKRB5-SA-2010-005)
