Release Engineering notes for the Kerberos for Windows 4.0.0 release

Software to test against new builds:

  • SapGUI
  • OpenAFS
  • SecureCRT (and SecureFX?)
  • SPNEGO (in multiple browsers?)
  • Adobe Keyserver a.k.a the Sassafras key client
  • SMTP in some form?
  • LDAP in some form?
  • XMPP in some form (pidgin?)?

Upgrades scenarios to test:

  • 32-bit to 32-bit, from 3.2
  • 64-bit to 64-bit, from 3.2
  • 32-bit to 64-bit, from 3.2
  • 32-bit and 64-bit to 64-bit, from 3.2
  • 32-bit to 64-bit, from 4.0
  • 64-bit to 32-bit, from 4.0

Current known issues:

  • The uninstaller prompts to kill running processes but does not do succeed in doing so
  • The upgrade procedure attempts to kill running processes but does not succeed in doing so (these two may be sharing most of the code). The wix-users archives suggest that Util:CloseApplication may be useful to do this in pure WiX instead of a custom element
  • The version number implanted in various dlls may no longer reflect the underlying krb5 version (instead using the KfW version)
  • windows/README is outdated
