Release Announcements ===================== This is the second preview release of Samba 3.5. 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/.
Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.0 include: General changes: o Add support for full Windows timestamp resolution Protocol changes: o Experimental implementation of SMB2 Printing Changes: o Add encryption support for connections to a CUPS server Winbind changes: o Major refactoring o Asynchronous General changes: ================ Support for full Windows timestamp resolution has been added. This effectively makes us use Windows' full 100ns timestamp resolution if supported by the kernel (2.6.22 and higher) and the glibc (2.6 and higher). Protocol changes ================ An EXPERIMENTAL implementation of the SMB2 protocol has been added. SMB2 can be enabled by setting "max protocol = smb2". SMB2 is a new implementation of the SMB protocol used by Windows Vista and higher. Printing Changes ================ A new parameter "cups encrypt" has been added to control whether connections to CUPS servers will be encrypted or not. The default is to use unencrypted connections. Winbind changes =============== The Winbind daemon has been refactored internally to be asynchronous. The new Winbind will not be blocked by running 'wbinfo -g' or 'wbinfo -u'. ###################################################################### Changes ####### smb.conf changes ---------------- Parameter Name Description Default -------------- ----------- ------- create krb5 conf New yes ctdb timeout New 0 cups encrypt New no debug hires timestamp Changed Default yes ldap deref New auto ldap follow referral New auto New configure options --------------------- --enable-external-libtalloc Enable external tdb --enable-netapi Turn on netapi support --enable-pthreadpool Enable pthreads pool helper support --with-cifsumount Include umount.cifs (Linux only) support --with-codepagedir=DIR Where to put codepages Commit Highlights ================= o Björn Jacke <[email protected]> * Add support for full Windows timestamp resolution. * Add encryption support for connections to a CUPS server. o Volker Lendecke <[email protected]> * Major internal refactoring of the Winbind daemon. * Make Winbind asynchronous. o Stefan Metzmacher <[email protected]> * Implement the new SMB2 protocol (experimental).
