Some major user-visible changes include:
-The default file server for EXISTING USERS has changed to s3fs. To
-continue to use ntvfs, you must set in your smb.conf:
-
- server services = +smb -s3fs
- dcerpc endpoint servers = +winreg +srvsvc
-
-samba-tool dbcheck will now upgrade older databases that are missing
-GUIDs in the schema partition.
-
-The 'samba-tool domain samba3upgrade' command is now called
-'samba-tool domain classicupgrade' and now creates users and groups
-with the posixAccount objectClass and uidNumber and gidNumber values.
-
-The new 'idmap_ldb:use rfc2307' parameter allows these values to be
-used instead of the idmap.ldb, where found in the directory.
-
-Work has continued to make Samba more portable to a wide variety of
-Unix-like systems, and to support --without-ad-dc on systems lacking a
-modern MIT krb5.
-
-Less visible, but very importantly, the work has continued in restructuring
-the smbd file server to implement SMB3.
-
-The TDB2 database library has been changed to ntdb, but will not be
-the default db layer for the 4.0 release. We will continue to use tdb1.
