+backends for logging to the systemd-journal, lttng and gpfs have been
+added. Please consult the section for the 'logging' parameter in the
+smb.conf manpage for details.
-Internal Winbind passdb changes
--------------------------------
+Spotlight
+=========
-Winbind has been changed to use the internal samr and lsa rpc pipe to get
-local user and group information instead of calling passdb functions. The

-using it. With this approach more code in Winbind is shared.
+Support for Apple's Spotlight has been added by integrating with Gnome
+Tracker.
