DES transition
==============
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as weak. The
krb5-1.7 release will contain measures to encourage sites to migrate
away from using single-DES cryptosystems. Among these is a
configuration variable that enables "weak" enctypes, but will default
to "false" in the future. Additional migration aids are planned for
future releases.
Major changes in 1.7.1
======================
This is primarily a bugfix release.
* Fix vulnerabilities: MITKRB5-SA-2009-003 [CVE-2009-3295],
MITKRB5-SA-2009-004 [CVE-2009-4212].
* Restore compatibility for talking to older kadminds and kadmin
clients for the "addprinc -randkey" operation.
* Fix some build problems and memory leaks.
