 NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
 ====================
 
-Using x86_64 Accelerated AES Crypto Instructions
-================================================
+GPO Improvements
+----------------
 
-Samba on x86_64 can now be configured to use the Intel accelerated AES
-instruction set, which has the potential to make SMB3 signing and
-encryption much faster on client and server. To enable this, configure
-Samba using the new option --accel-aes=intelaesni.
+A new 'samba-tool gpo export' command has been added that can export a
+set of Group Policy Objects from a domain in a generalised XML format.
 
-This is a temporary solution that is being included to allow users
-to enjoy the benefits of Intel accelerated AES on the x86_64 platform,
-but the longer-term solution will be to move Samba to a fully supported
-external crypto library.
+A corresponding 'samba-tool gpo restore' command has been added to
+rebuild the Group Policy Objects from the XML after generalization.
+(The administrator needs to correct the values of XML entities between
+the backup and restore to account for the change in domain).
 
-The third_party/aesni-intel code will be removed from Samba as soon as
-external crypto library performance reaches parity.
 
-The default is to build without setting --accel-aes, which uses the
-existing Samba software AES implementation.
