draft-ietf-kitten-aes-cts-hmac-sha2-11
- hcrypto is now thread safe on all platforms
- libhcrypto has new backends: CNG (Windows), PKCS#11 (mainly for
Solaris), and OpenSSL. OpenSSL is now a first-class libhcrypto backend.
OpenSSL 1.0.x and 1.1 are both supported. AES-NI used when supported by
backend
- HDB now supports LMDB
- Thread support on Windows
- RFC 6113 Generalized Framework for Kerberos Pre-Authentication (FAST)
- New GSS APIs:
. gss_localname
- Allow setting what encryption types a principal should have with
[kadmin] default_key_rules, see krb5.conf manpage for more info
- Unify libhcrypto with LTC (libtomcrypto)
- asn1_compile 64-bit INTEGER functionality
- HDB key history support including --keepold kadmin password option
- Improved cross-realm key rollover safety
- New krb5_kuserok() and krb5_aname_to_localname() plug-in interfaces
- Improved MIT compatibility
. kadm5 API
. Migration from MIT KDB via "mitdb" HDB backend
. Capable of writing the HDB in MIT dump format
- Improved Active Directory interoperability
. Enctype selection issues for PAC and other authz-data signatures
. Cross realm key rollover (kvno 0)
- New [kdc] enctype negotiation configuration:
. tgt-use-strongest-session-key
. svc-use-strongest-session-key
. preauth-use-strongest-session-key
. use-strongest-server-key
- The KDC process now uses a multi-process model improving
resiliency and performance
- Allow batch-mode kinit with password file
- SIGINFO support added to kinit cmd
- New kx509 configuration options:
. kx509_ca
. kca_service
. kx509_include_pkinit_san
. kx509_template
- Improved Heimdal library/plugin version safety
- Name canonicalization
. DNS resolver searchlist

telnet, xnlock
- Completely remove RAND_egd support
- Moved kadmin and ktutil to /usr/bin
- Stricter fcache checks (see fcache_strict_checking krb5.conf setting)
. use O_NOFOLLOW
. don't follow symlinks
. require cache files to be owned by the user
. require sensible permissions (not group/other readable)
- Implemented gss_store_cred()
- Many more

Bug fixes
- iprop has been revamped to fix a number of race conditions that could
lead to data loss
- Include non-loopback addresses assigned to loopback interfaces
when requesting tickets with addresses
- KDC 1DES session key selection (for AFS rxkad-k5 compatibility)
- Keytab file descriptor and lock leak
- Credential cache corruption bugs
(NOTE: The FILE ccache is still not entirely safe due to the
fundamentally unsafe design of POSIX file locking)
- gss_pseudo_random() interop bug
- Plugins are now preferentially loaded from the run-time install tree
- Reauthentication after password change in init_creds_password
- Memory leak in the client kadmin library
- TGS client requests renewable/forwardable/proxiable when possible
- Locking issues in DB1 and DB3 HDB backends
- Master HDB can remain locked while waiting for network I/O
- Renewal/refresh logic when kinit is provided with a command
- KDC handling of enterprise principals
- Use correct bit for anon-pkinit
- Many more

Reimport Heimdal dist converted into NetBSD dist format. The prior
import did not catch all of the $Id$ tags because many of them are
unexpanded and the RE was only looking for expanded keywords.

Import latest Heimdal from the head of their git repository into the
new location for externally maintained software.
