<p>Starting from release 1.7:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Follow client principal referrals in the client library when
obtaining initial tickets.</li>
<li>KDC can issue realm referrals for service principals based on domain names.</li>
<li>Extensions supporting DCE RPC, including three-leg GSS context setup
and unencapsulated GSS tokens inside SPNEGO.</li>
<li>Microsoft GSS_WrapEX, implemented using the gss_iov API, which is
similar to the equivalent SSPI functionality.  This is needed to
support some instances of DCE RPC.</li>
<li>NTLM recognition support in GSS-API, to facilitate dropping in an
NTLM implementation for improved compatibility with older releases
of Microsoft Windows.</li>
<li>KDC support for principal aliases, if the back end supports them.
Currently, only the LDAP back end supports aliases.</li>
<li>Support Microsoft set/change password (<span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3244.html"><strong>RFC 3244</strong></a>) protocol in
kadmind.</li>
<li>Implement client and KDC support for GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG, which
allows a GSS application to request credential delegation only if
permitted by KDC policy.</li>
</ul>
<p>Starting from release 1.8:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Microsoft Services for User (S4U) compatibility</li>
</ul>
<p><cite>Heimdal</cite></p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Support for reading Heimdal database starting from release 1.8</li>
