- Release Notes for Samba 3.2.x
- XX ##, 200Y
- ==============================
+ =================================
+ Release Notes for Samba 3.2.0pre2
+ Oct XX, 2007
+ =================================
+
+This is the second preview release of Samba 3.2.0. This is *not*
+intended for production environments and is designed for testing
+purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
+system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
+
+Please be aware that Samba is now distributed under the version 3
+of the new GNU General Public License. You may refer to the COPYING
+file that accompanies these release notes for further licensing details.
+
+Major enhancements in Samba 3.2.0 include:
+
+ File Serving:
+ o Use of IDL generated parsing layer for several DCE/RPC
+ interfaces.
+ o Removal of the 1024 byte limit on pathnames and 256 byte limit on
+ filename components to honor the MAX_PATH setting from the host OS.
+ o Introduction of a registry based configuration system.
+ o Improved CIFS Unix Extensions support.
+ o Experimental support for file serving clusters.
+
+
+ Winbind and Active Directory Integration:
+ o Full support for Windows 2003 cross-forest, transitive trusts
+ and one-way domain trusts
+ o Support for userPrincipalName logons via pam_winbind and NSS
+ lookups.
+ o Support in pam_winbind for logging on using the userPrincipalName.
+ o Expansion of nested domain groups via NSS calls.
+ o Support for Active Directory LDAP Signing policy.
+
+
+ Users & Groups:
+ o New ldb backend for local group mapping tables
+ o Raised level of security defaults for authentication operations.
+
+
+ Documentation:
+ o Inclusion of an HTLM version of the 3rd edition of "Using Samba"
+ from O'Reilly Publishing.
+
+
+Now Licensed under the GNU GPLv3
+================================
+
+The Samba Team has adopted the Version 3 of the GNU General Public
+License for the 3.2 and later releases. The GPLv3 is the updated
+version of the GPLv2 license under which Samba is currently
+distributed. It has been updated to improvecompatibility with other
+licenses and to make it easier to adopt internationally, and is an
+improved version of the license to better suit the needs of Free
+Software in the 21st Century.
+
+The original announcement is available on-line at
+
+ http://news.samba.org/announcements/samba_gplv3/
+
+
+New Security Defaults for Authentication
+========================================
+
+Support for LanMan passwords is now disabled in both client and server
+applications. Additionally, clear text authentication requests are
+disabled by default in client utilities such as smbclient and all
+libsmbclient based applications. This will affect connection both
+to and from hosts running DOS, Windows 9x/ME, and OS/2. Please refer
+to the "Changes" section for details on the exact parameters that were
+updated.
+
+
+
+Registry Configuration Backend
+==============================
+
+Samba is now able to use a registry based configuration backed to
+supplement smb.conf setting. This feature may be enabled by setting
+"include = registry" and "registry shares = yes" in the [global]
+section of smb.conf and may be managed using the "net conf" command.
+
+More information may be obtained from the smb.conf(5) and net(8) man
+pages.
+
+
+Removed Features
+================
+
+Both the Python bindings and the libmsrpc shared library have been
+removed from the tree due to lack of an official maintainer.
+
