 CHANGES SINCE beta8
 ===================
 
-The smbd file server now offers SMB3 as the maximum protocol
-by default. Samba can negotiate version 3 of the SMB protocol
-and supports the required features, including all required
-features of SMB 2.1 and SMB 2.0. Note that this does not imply
-that Samba implements all features of SMB3 since many of them
-are optional capabilities. Examples of features that Samba does
-not implement yet are leases (SMB 2.1) and multi-channel (SMB 3).
-
-Samba now offers an initial support for SMB2 durable file handles.
-These are enabled by default and can be turned off on a per share
-basis by setting "durable handles = no" on the share configuration.
-Note that in order to prevent conflicts with other applications
-accessing the same files, durable handles are only granted on
-shares that are configured for CIFS/SMB2-only access, i.e. more
-explicitly shares that are configured for minimal interoperability
-with these settings:
-
-  kernel oplocks = no
-  kernel share modes = no
-  posix locking = no
-
-The option "kernel share modes" has been introduced to be able
-to turn the translation of SMB share modes into kernel flocks
-off.
-
-The 'provision' script was merged into 'samba-tool'
-as 'samba-tool domain provision' the arguments are still
-the same.
-
-The 'updateprovision' script was renamed to 'samba_upgradeprovision'.
-
-We changed the default dns implementation to the internal dns server
-(SAMBA_INTERNAL). BIND9_FLATFILE and BIND9_DLZ are still available,
-but you'll have to add '-dns' to the 'server services' option
-to disable the internal dns server.
-The default for 'allow dns updates' has changed to 'secure only'.
