SSPI (e.g. Kerberos) key exchange and authentication support
(:ref:`installation docs here <gssapi>`). Mega thanks to Sebastian Deiß, with
assist by Torsten Landschoff.
+
+ .. note::
+ Unix users should be aware that the ``python-gssapi`` library (a
+ requirement for using this functionality) only appears to support
+ Python 2.7 and up at this time.

* :bug:`346 major` Fix an issue in private key files' encryption salts that
could cause tracebacks and file corruption if keys were re-encrypted. Credit
to Xavier Nunn.
