Guacamole does not limit or support any particular type of Smart Card -
Smart Cards are just ways of securely storing and accessing SSL
certificates, and the SSO SSL support in Guacamole 1.6.0 will support any
Smart Card that your browser is able to see, along with any other SSL
certificates that support client authentication (for example, Active
Directory-issued certificates).

We don't have a firm timeline - a couple of lingering items are getting
cleaned up, now, before it heads to the RC stage.
