The GNU SASL 1.5.x branch is NOT what you want for your stable system.
It is intended for developers and experienced users.

The main new feature in this release is support for GS2-KRB5.  Tested
with GNU GSS, Heimdal, MIT Kerberos V5 on GNU/Linux and on Mac OS X.

Library (lib/) NEWS entries:

* Version 1.5.0 (released 2010-03-31) [beta]

** GS2-KRB5: New mechanism GS2 with support for Kerberos V5.
