+Time Machine Support with vfs_fruit
+===================================
+Samba can be configured as a Time Machine target for Apple Mac devices
+through the vfs_fruit module. When enabling a share for Time Machine
+support the relevant Avahi records to support discovery will be published
+for installations that have been built against the Avahi client library.
+
+Shares can be designated as a Time Machine share with the following setting:
+
+  'fruit:time machine = yes'
+
+Support for lower casing the MDNS Name
+======================================
+Allows the server name that is advertised through MDNS to be set to the
+hostname rather than the Samba NETBIOS name. This allows an administrator
+to make Samba registered MDNS records match the case of the hostname
+rather than being in all capitals.
+
+This can be set with the following settings:
+
+  'mdns name = mdns'
+
+Encrypted secrets
+=================
+Attributes deemed to be sensitive are now encrypted on disk. The sensitive
+values are currently:
+       pekList
+       msDS-ExecuteScriptPassword
+       currentValue
+       dBCSPwd
+       initialAuthIncoming
+       initialAuthOutgoing
+       lmPwdHistory
+       ntPwdHistory
+       priorValue
+       supplementalCredentials
+       trustAuthIncoming
+       trustAuthOutgoing
+       unicodePwd
+       clearTextPassword
+
+This encryption is enabled by default on a new provision or join, it
+can be disabled at provision or join time with the new option
+--plaintext-secrets.
+
+However, an in-place upgrade will not encrypt the database.
+
+Once encrypted, it is not possible to do an in-place downgrade (eg to
+4.7) of the database. To obtain an unencrypted copy of the database a
+new DC join should be performed, specifying the --plaintext-secrets
+option.
+
+The key file "encrypted_secrets.key" is created in the same directory
+as the database and should NEVER be disclosed.  It is included by the
+samba_backup script.

+Winbind changes
+---------------
+
+The dependency to global list of trusted domains within
+the winbindd processes has been reduced a lot.
+
+The construction of that global list is not reliable and often
+incomplete in complex trust setups. In most situations the list is not needed
+any more for winbindd to operate correctly. E.g. for plain file serving via SMB
+using a simple idmap setup with autorid, tdb or ad. However some more complex
+setups require the list, e.g. if you specify idmap backends for specific
+domains. Some pam_winbind setups may also require the global list.
+
+If you have a setup that doesn't require the global list, you should set
+"winbind scan trusted domains = no".
+
+REMOVED FEATURES
+================
+
+The two commands "net serverid list" and "net serverid wipe" have been
+removed, because the file serverid.tdb is not used anymore.
+
+"net serverid list" can be replaced by listing all files in the
+subdirectory "msg.lock" of Samba's "lock directory". The unique id
+listed by "net serverid list" is stored in every process' lockfile in
+"msg.lock".
+
+"net serverid wipe" is not necessary anymore. It was meant primarily
+for clustered environments, where the serverid.tdb file was not
+properly cleaned up after single node crashes. Nowadays smbd and
+winbind take care of cleaning up the msg.lock and msg.sock directories
+automatically.
