 NEW FEATURES/CHANGES

-(minimum/maximum password age, minimum password length, and password
-complexity) and kerberos policies (user/service ticket lifetime and
-renew lifetime).
+REMOVED FEATURES
+================
 
-Adds the samba_gpoupdate script for applying and unapplying

   Parameter Name                     Description             Default

-  binddns dir                       New

-  prefork children                  New                     1

-NT4-style replication based net commands removed
-================================================
-
-The following commands and sub-commands have been removed from the
-"net" utility:
-
-net rpc samdump
-net rpc vampire ldif
-
-Also, replicating from a real NT4 domain with "net rpc vampire" and
-"net rpc vampire keytab" has been removed.
-
-The NT4-based commands were accidentially broken in 2013, and nobody
-noticed the breakage. So instead of fixing them including tests (which
-would have meant writing a server for the protocols, which we don't
-have) we decided to remove them.
-
-For the same reason, the "samsync", "samdeltas" and "database_redo"
-commands have been removed from rpcclient.
-
-"net rpc vampire keytab" from Active Directory domains continues to be
-supported.
-
-vfs_aio_linux module removed
-============================
-
-The current Linux kernel aio does not match what Samba would
-do. Shipping code that uses it leads people to false
-assumptions. Samba implements async I/O based on threads by default,
-there is no special module required to see benefits of read and write
-request being sent do the disk in parallel.
-
-smbclient reparse point symlink parameters reversed
-===================================================
 
-A bug in smbclient caused the 'symlink' command to reverse the
-meaning of the new name and link target parameters when creating a
-reparse point symlink against a Windows server. As this is a
-little used feature the ordering of these parameters has been
-reversed to match the parameter ordering of the UNIX extensions
-'symlink' command. The usage message for this command has also
-been improved to remove confusion.
