Unified documentation for Kerberos V5 is available in both HTML and
PDF formats.  The table of contents of the HTML format documentation
is at doc/html/index.html, and the PDF format documentation is in the
doc/pdf directory.

Additionally, you may find copies of the HTML format documentation
online at

Building and Installing Kerberos 5
----------------------------------

Build documentation is in doc/html/build/index.html or
doc/pdf/build.pdf.

The installation guide is in doc/html/admin/install.html or
doc/pdf/install.pdf.

If you are attempting to build under Windows, please see the
src/windows/README file.

PAC transition
--------------

Beginning with release 1.20, the KDC will include minimal PACs in
tickets instead of AD-SIGNEDPATH authdata.  S4U requests (protocol
transition and constrained delegation) must now contain valid PACs in
the incoming tickets.  If only some KDCs in a realm have been upgraded
across version 1.20, the upgraded KDCs will reject S4U requests
containing tickets from non-upgraded KDCs and vice versa.

Triple-DES transition
---------------------

Beginning with the krb5-1.19 release, a warning will be issued if
initial credentials are acquired using the des3-cbc-sha1 encryption
type.  In future releases, this encryption type will be disabled by
default and eventually removed.

Beginning with the krb5-1.18 release, single-DES encryption types have
been removed.

Major changes in 1.20.1 (2022-11-15)
------------------------------------

This is a bug fix release.

* Fix integer overflows in PAC parsing [CVE-2022-42898].

* Fix null deref in KDC when decoding invalid NDR.

* Fix memory leak in OTP kdcpreauth module.

* Fix PKCS11 module path search.

krb5-1.20.1 changes by ticket ID
--------------------------------

9061    Fix memory leak in SPAKE kdcpreauth module
9062    Fix net-server.c when AI_NUMERICSERV is undefined
9063    Fix memory leak in OTP kdcpreauth module

9065    Fix uncommon PKINIT memory leak
9067    Fix PKCS11 module path search
9073    Fix null deref in KDC when decoding invalid NDR
9074    Fix integer overflows in PAC parsing

Major changes in 1.20 (2022-05-26)
----------------------------------

Administrator experience:

* Added a "disable_pac" realm relation to suppress adding PAC authdata
  to tickets, for realms which do not need to support S4U requests.

* Most credential cache types will use atomic replacement when a cache
  is reinitialized using kinit or refreshed from the client keytab.

* kprop can now propagate databases with a dump size larger than 4GB,
  if both the client and server are upgraded.

* kprop can now work over NATs that change the destination IP address,
  if the client is upgraded.

Developer experience:

* Updated the KDB interface.  The sign_authdata() method is replaced
  with the issue_pac() method, allowing KDB modules to add logon info
  and other buffers to the PAC issued by the KDC.

* Host-based initiator names are better supported in the GSS krb5
  mechanism.

Protocol evolution:

* Replaced AD-SIGNEDPATH authdata with minimal PACs.

* To avoid spurious replay errors, password change requests will not
  be attempted over UDP until the attempt over TCP fails.

* PKINIT will sign its CMS messages with SHA-256 instead of SHA-1.

Code quality:

* Updated all code using OpenSSL to be compatible with OpenSSL 3.

* Reorganized the libk5crypto build system to allow the OpenSSL
  back-end to pull in material from the builtin back-end depending on
  the OpenSSL version.

* Simplified the PRNG logic to always use the platform PRNG.

* Converted the remaining Tcl tests to Python.
