- Support for SSH-2 authentication using GSSAPI, on both Windows and
Unix. Users in a Kerberos realm should now be able to use their
existing Kerberos single sign-on in their PuTTY SSH connections.

Does this include the GSSAPI key exchange, or only userauth?

Only userauth.

Does it work only with SSPI, or can it also use a GSSAPI library if
present (e.g. MIT Kerberos), as e.g. Firefox can do?

The latter.

Are the lacunae documented somewhere?

Not yet. The best information currently available is at
