+krb5-strength 2.0 (2013-10-07)
Add support for the MIT Kerberos password quality plugin interface,
available in MIT Kerberos 1.9 and later, contributed by Greg Hudson
This mode is mostly useful for testing, since such simple checking can
more easily be done via less complex password strength configurations.
+ The check for passwords based on the principal now check for passwords
+ formed by reversing or adding numbers before and after each separate
+ component of the principal. This will catch passwords based on the
+ realm or components of the realm, which will often catch passwords
+ based on the name of the local institution.

The plugin now sets the Kerberos error message in the context to pass
error information, resulting in higher-quality error reporting in the
MIT Kerberos plugin.
