This release introduces new features, the ability to use a unique ccache file per authentication, and impersonation.
Unique ccache files and related cleanup helpers are useful to better handle some applications that have been ported from mod_auth_kerb, where this was the default behavior and apps were used to delete the ccache file unconditionally once a request was completed.
Impersonation, if the KDC allows it, allows mod_auth_gssapi to obtain kerberos credentials by using protocol transition extensions after another apache module (like mod_ssl/mod_nss) authenticated the user.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is a NASA robotic spacecraft currently orbiting the Moon in an eccentric polar mapping orbit. It was launched on June 16 2009, its mission duration was planned for one year, but has since been extended numerous times after review by NASA.
This release has seen the contribution of a greater number of people so we'll add contribution recognition to the release notes going forward.
Thank you to all contributors, each Issue, PR, Review, or other contribution makes the code better and more useufl for everyone.
