-In the time since Samba4 Alpha4 was released in June 2008, Samba has
-continued to evolve, but you may particularly notice these areas:
-
- LDAP backend support restored (issues preventing the use of the LDAP
- backend in alpha4 have been addressed).
-
- SMB2 Support: The SMB2 server, while still disabled, has improved,
- and now supports SMB2 signing.
-
- OpenChange support: Updates have been made since alpha4 to better
- support OpenChange's use of Samba4's libraries.
-
- Faster ldb loading: A fix to avoid calling 'init_module' (which was
- not defined by Samba modules, but was by the C library) will fix
- some of the slowness in authentication.
+We have continued our commitment to provide a full DRS implementation for our
+AD implementation and therefore achieved also this time big steps forward.
