Hi,
Thanks for answering.
To my knowledge it's the last version that's "fully" or close to fully
working and/or somewhat "validated" to work all others are considered
WIP .
I guess "validated" doesn't really have an "official" meaning here :)
Personally I've been using only 4.22/4.23 for a long time with
satisfaction. Of course my use cases can't possibly cover the myriad of
options, ways of using it, interactions with other softwares, etc...
I wonder, however, if these newer versions are "WIP" just because they
weren't tested by enough people (so eventual bugs were not reported and
not solved).
IMVVVVHO we should move forward and are very late at it.
Is there a list of what doesn't work in later versions?
Looking into bugzilla, I see #284603: that's against 4.20 however, which
is already obsolete. It's not clear if that's also bugging 4.22/4.23,
and, frankly, I doubt it works with 4.16 (I haven't tried it in a long
time, but I remember having had that problem in the past).
Then there's #281312, but it only lists a few ports that pinpoint
samba416, possibly just because that's the default. No indication of
whether that's an hard requirement or if someone tried them with a newer
version.
Personally I would be happy with ksmbd
Didn't even know about this.
I guess we won't see it anytime soon.
but that's not really portable at least in its current form.
<rant>
Samba is also less and less portable...
