Heimdal 0.6.2 can now be found at the regular hideout:
  ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/heimdal/src/heimdal-0.6.2.tar.gz

This fixes a possible buffer overflow in the Kerberos 4 support in
kadmind, reported by Evgeny Demidov.

We also decided on turning Kerberos 4 default off, and will likely
remove it (from kadmind) completely for the next release. If anyone
depend on this, now is the time to speak up (on heimdal-discuss for
instance).

In short: if you don't feel like compiling anything today, you can
just restart your kadmind with --no-kerberos4.

Changes in release 0.6.2

 * Fix possible buffer overrun in v4 kadmin (which now defaults to off)

May the tesselation of your life dream be full of polygons.
