+Release Announcements
+=====================
 
-                   =================================

-This is the first preview release of Samba 3.4.  This is *not*
+This is the first release candidate of Samba 4.2.  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/.
 
-Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
+Samba 4.2 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
+
+
+UPGRADING
+=========
+
+
 
-Authentication Changes:
-o Changed the way smbd handles untrusted domain names given during user
-  authentication
+NEW FEATURES
+============
 
-Authentication Changes
-======================
+Transparent File Compression
+============================
 
-Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
-untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
-domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
-using that DOMAIN\user name.  This differed from how a Windows member server
-would behave.  Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name.  In
-the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user.  In the case
-where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
-Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
-with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
+Samba 4.2.0 adds support for the manipulation of file and folder
+compression flags on the Btrfs filesystem.
+With the Btrfs Samba VFS module enabled, SMB2+ compression flags can
+be set remotely from the Windows Explorer File->Properties->Advanced
+dialog. Files flagged for compression are transparently compressed
+and uncompressed when accessed or modified.
+
+Previous File Versions with Snapper
+===================================
+
+The newly added Snapper VFS module exposes snapshots managed by
+Snapper for use by Samba. This provides the ability for remote
+clients to access shadow-copies via Windows Explorer using the
+"previous versions" dialog.
 
-While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
-on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification.  A new
-parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
-behavior.
