Kerberos for Windows 2.6.5 was released on 17 September 2004. KFW 2.6.5 was the first release with an MSI installer, it included krb5_32.dll version 1.3.5, and was compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 2. As a result it was distributed far a wide but ...
It is almost four years later. Vista and Server 2008 are widely deployed. XP SP3 is out as is 2003 SP2 and 64-bitWindows on Windows environments are widely available. KFW 2.6.5 was not developed with these environments in mind
because they had not been shipped by Microsoft. KFW 2.6.5is very unstable on these platforms.
Microsoft Windows Error Reporting receives close to 200 crash reports a day from deployed KFW 2.6.5 clients. This rate is more than 200 times higher than the report rate for the KFW 3.2.2 release. If you are still deploying KFW 2.6.5 to your end users, please stop doing so. The release is simply no longer stable on modern versions of Microsoft Windows. If you require KFW support for your users, please upgrade to the current release. If there is a bug or incompatibility that prevents you from upgrading, please file a bug report.
