The last Beta release was a year ago; so what's there is somewhat out of date and the protocol that is there is not completely conformant to the latest Kerberos V5 protocol specs. However, I'm planning on releasing a new beta release shortly; I had originally thought we would have it ready by the end of June, but there were more changes from others (primarily Sandia National Labs) to integrate in than I thought. Given summer vacations and the Boston IETF (which MIT is hosting), I'm now targetting the release date for the end of the July. - Ted
