News
====

1.8.7 released last week to address the Rx CID rollover bug.
Please upgrade all 1.8.0 to 1.8.6 clients and servers to restore connectivity.


1.8.x stable
============

Next stable pre-release will be 1.8.8pre1.

Stephan reports the merge commit for 1.8.7 was not disruptive to his work
flow in this cycle, since we had very few changes in the queue for the next
prerelease. Gerrit 14264 was adjustment was the only thing needed to continue
work for 1.8.8pre1.

Stephan will be pulling up aklog changes from Yadav for 1.8.8pre1

14478 aklog: Free client/server princs in get_credv5
14479 aklog: Use HAVE_ENCODE_KRB5_ENC_TKT_PART for aklog impersonate
14482 aklog: avoid infinite lifetime tokens by default
14480 aklog: retry getting tokens for KRB5_KT_NOTFOUND error
14481 aklog: use any enctype in get_credv5
14477 aklog: free kbr5_creds before returning from rxkad_get_token
14483 aklog: Make dummy write AIX-specific


Still to pull up for 1.8.8pre1:
* 10831 Move key-related warnings to common server code
* rx/restart-hang topic
* Big Sur changes (under review on master)
* Linux 5.11rc (under review on master)

* Cheyenne reports he is testing a small patch for linux 5.11rc1 support.


1.9.x devel/master
==================

* Next 1.9.x development release will be 1.9.1 which will contain the CID
  rollover fixes plus the changes on the current master branch. No ETA
  the next 1.9.x release at this time.  Sites testing the 1.9.0 development
  release are encouraged to use the CID rollover fix patches.

* Ben reports he is prioritizing reviews for macOS BigSur and
  linux 5.11rc.

* Changes for FBSD and the 'audit named-pipe' interface in the queue.
