There are no binaries yet. Those will be uploaded as they become available.

This release's scope is limited to relatively few client side fixes and
enhancements:

 * Support for recent Linux kernels up to 3.19

   Note that kernels 3.17 to 3.17.2 require an additional configure switch
   when building the kernel module in order to work correctly. The same could
   apply to distribution kernels with backports of certain changes from 3.17
   but not the corresponding fix from 3.17.3 / 3.18. Please consult the
   release notes and the README for details.

 * Support for OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" (there's no installer though)

 * Build support for FreeBSD >= 11.0 and OpenBSD 5.4

 * A fix allowing aklog to succeed creating native K5 tokens even when mapping
   the K5 principal to a K4 one fails

 * Selected fixes for potential data corruption or client panics under
   certain conditions

For the full list of user visible changes foreseen for 1.6.11, please see
