UPGRADING
=========
Nothing special.
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================
Asynchronous flush requests
---------------------------
Flush requests from SMB2/3 clients are handled asynchronously and do
not block the processing of other requests. Note that 'strict sync'
has to be set to 'yes' for Samba to honor flush requests from SMB
clients.
s3: smbd
--------
Remove '--with-aio-support' configure option. We no longer would ever prefer
POSIX-RT aio, use pthread_aio instead.
samba-tool sites
----------------
The 'samba-tool sites' subcommand can now be run against another server by
specifying an LDB URL using the '-H' option and not against the local database
only (which is still the default when no URL is given).
samba-tool domain demote
------------------------
Add '--remove-other-dead-server' option to 'samba-tool domain demote'
subcommand. The new version of this tool now can remove another DC that is
itself offline. The '--remove-other-dead-server' removes as many references
to the DC as possible.
samba-tool drs clone-dc-database
--------------------------------
Replicate an initial clone of domain, but do not join it.
This is developed for debugging purposes, but not for setting up another DC.
pdbedit
-------
Add '--set-nt-hash' option to pdbedit to update user password from nt-hash
hexstring. 'pdbedit -vw' shows also password hashes.
smbstatus
---------
'smbstatus' was enhanced to show the state of signing and encryption for
sessions and shares.
s4-rpc_server
-------------
Add a GnuTLS based backupkey implementation.
ntlm_auth
---------
Using the '--offline-logon' enables ntlm_auth to use cached passwords when the
DC is offline.
Allow '--password' force a local password check for ntlm-server-1 mode.
vfs_offline
-----------
A new VFS module called vfs_offline has been added to mark all files in the
share as offline. It can be useful for shares mounted on top of a remote file
system (either through a samba VFS module or via FUSE).
KCC
---
The Samba KCC has been improved, but is still disabled by default. |
