 NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
 ====================
 
-Using x86_64 Accelerated AES Crypto Instructions
-================================================
+GPO Improvements
+----------------
 
-Samba on x86_64 can now be configured to use the Intel accelerated AES
-instruction set, which has the potential to make SMB3 signing and
-encryption much faster on client and server. To enable this, configure
-Samba using the new option --accel-aes=intelaesni.
+A new 'samba-tool gpo export' command has been added that can export a
+set of Group Policy Objects from a domain in a generalised XML format.
 
-This is a temporary solution that is being included to allow users
-to enjoy the benefits of Intel accelerated AES on the x86_64 platform,
-but the longer-term solution will be to move Samba to a fully supported
-external crypto library.
+A corresponding 'samba-tool gpo restore' command has been added to
+rebuild the Group Policy Objects from the XML after generalization.
+(The administrator needs to correct the values of XML entities between
+the backup and restore to account for the change in domain).
 
-The third_party/aesni-intel code will be removed from Samba as soon as
-external crypto library performance reaches parity.
+kdc prefork
+-----------
+
+The KDC now supports the pre-fork process model and worker processes will be
+forked for the KDC when the pre-fork process model is selected for samba.
+
+REMOVED FEATURES
+================
 
-The default is to build without setting --accel-aes, which uses the
-existing Samba software AES implementation.

-NT4-style replication based net commands removed
-================================================
-
-The following commands and sub-commands have been removed from the
-"net" utility:
-
-net rpc samdump
-net rpc vampire ldif
-
-Also, replicating from a real NT4 domain with "net rpc vampire" and
-"net rpc vampire keytab" has been removed.
-
-The NT4-based commands were accidentially broken in 2013, and nobody
-noticed the breakage. So instead of fixing them including tests (which
-would have meant writing a server for the protocols, which we don't
-have) we decided to remove them.
-
-For the same reason, the "samsync", "samdeltas" and "database_redo"
-commands have been removed from rpcclient.
-
-"net rpc vampire keytab" from Active Directory domains continues to be
-supported.
