-What's new in Samba 4.0.0 rc1
-=============================
+Release Announcements
+=====================
+
+This is the second release candidate of Samba 4.0. This is *not*
+intended for production environments and is designed for testing
+purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
+system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
Samba 4.0 will be the next version of the Samba suite and incorporates
-all the technology found in both the Samba4 alpha series and the
+all the technology found in both the Samba4 series and the
stable 3.x series. The primary additional features over Samba 3.6 are
support for the Active Directory logon protocols used by Windows 2000
and above.
-
-WARNINGS
-========
-
-Samba 4.0.0 rc1 is not a final Samba release, however we are now making
-good progress towards a Samba 4.0 release.
-
This release contains the best of all of Samba's
technology parts, both a file server (that you can reasonably expect
to upgrade existing Samba 3.x releases to) and the AD domain
controller work previously known as 'samba4'.
-Samba 4.0 is subjected to an awesome battery of tests on an automated
-basis, we have found Samba 4.0 to be very stable in its behaviour.
-However, as with all our pre-releases we still recommend against
-upgrading production servers from Samba 3.x release to Samba 4.0.0rc1
-at this stage.
-
If you are upgrading, or looking to develop, test or deploy Samba 4.0
releases candidates, you should backup all configuration and data.
Users upgrading from Samba 3.x domain controllers and wanting to use
Samba 4.0 as an AD DC should use the 'samba-tool domain
classicupgrade' command. See the wiki for more details:
-https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba3upgrade/HOWTO
+https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba3upgrade/HOWTO.
Users upgrading from Samba 4.0 alpha and beta releases since alpha15
should run 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix' before re-starting
you'll have to add '-dns' to the 'server services' option,
as the internal dns server (SAMBA_INTERNAL) is the default now.

NEW FEATURES

the infamous Kerberos PAC, and include it with the Kerberos tickets we
issue.

+Samba 4.0.0rc2 ships with two distinct file servers. We now use the
file server from the Samba 3.x series 'smbd' for all file serving by
default.
Samba 4.0 also ships with the 'NTVFS' file server. This file server
-is what was used in all previous alpha releases of Samba 4.0, and is
+is what was used in all previous releases of Samba 4.0, and is
tuned to match the requirements of an AD domain controller. We
continue to support this, not only to provide continuity to
installations that have deployed it as part of an AD DC, but also as a
Python programs to interface to Samba's internals, and many tools and
internal workings of the DC code is now implemented in python.
-CHANGES SINCE beta8
-===================
-
-For a list of changes since beta8, please see the git log.
-
-$ git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git
-$ cd samba.git
-$ git log samba-4.0.0beta8..samba-4.0.0rc1
-
-Some major user-visible changes include:
-
-- The smbd file server now offers SMB3 as the maximum protocol
- by default. Samba can negotiate version 3 of the SMB protocol
- and supports the required features, including all required
- features of SMB 2.1 and SMB 2.0. Note that this does not imply
- that Samba implements all features of SMB3 since many of them
- are optional capabilities. Examples of features that Samba does
- not implement yet are leases (SMB 2.1) and multi-channel (SMB 3).
-
- Samba now offers an initial support for SMB2 durable file handles.
- These are enabled by default and can be turned off on a per share
- basis by setting "durable handles = no" on the share configuration.
- Note that in order to prevent conflicts with other applications
- accessing the same files, durable handles are only granted on
- shares that are configured for CIFS/SMB2-only access, i.e. more
- explicitly shares that are configured for minimal interoperability
- with these settings:
-
- kernel oplocks = no
- kernel share modes = no
- posix locking = no
-
- The option "kernel share modes" has been introduced to be able
- to turn the translation of SMB share modes into kernel flocks
- off.
-
-- The 'provision' script was merged into 'samba-tool'
- as 'samba-tool domain provision' the arguments are still
- the same.
-
-- The 'updateprovision' script was renamed to 'samba_upgradeprovision'.
-
-- We changed the default dns implementation to the internal dns server
- (SAMBA_INTERNAL). BIND9_FLATFILE and BIND9_DLZ are still available,
- but you'll have to add '-dns' to the 'server services' option
- to disable the internal dns server.
- The default for 'allow dns updates' has changed to 'secure only'.
