 Running samba-tool on the command line should now be a lot snappier. The tool
 now only loads the code specific to the subcommand that you wish to run.
 
+SMB 2.1 Leases enabled by default
+---------------------------------
 
+Leasing is an SMB 2.1 (and higher) feature which allows clients to
+aggressively cache files locally above and beyond the caching allowed
+by SMB 1 oplocks. This feature was disabled in previous releases, but
+the SMB2 leasing code is now considered mature and stable enough to be
+enabled by default.
