 * [#652](https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/issues/652): Dead Lock in class initialization - [@matthiasblaesing](https://github.com/matthiasblaesing).
 * [#843](https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/pull/843): Correctly bind `com.sun.jna.platform.win32.SecBufferDesc` and add convenience binding as `com.sun.jna.platform.win32.SspiUtil.ManagedSecBufferDesc`. Bind SSPI functions `InitializeSecurityContext`, `AcceptSecurityContext`, `QueryCredentialsAttributes`, `QuerySecurityPackageInfo`, `EncryptMessage`, `DecryptMessage`, `MakeSignature`, `VerifySignature` in `com.sun.jna.platform.win32.Secur32` - [@matthiasblaesing](https://github.com/matthiasblaesing).
