3.0.0-alpha (2025-10-21)

Release Notes

macOS deployment target set to 11

Kerberos now targets macOS 11.

kerberos' napi version has been increased to 9

kerberos' napi version has been increased to 9.

Kerberos no longer exported from the package

The kerberos package exported an undocumented named export, Kerberos, which was used for compatibility with unsupported (<4.x) MongoDB drivers. This export has been removed.

If you are relying on this export, simply import from the kerberos package directly. ex:

// before
const initializeClient = require('kerberos').Kerberos.initializeClient;

// after
const initializeClient = require('kerberos').initializeClient;
