+New DNS hostname config option
+------------------------------
+
+To get `net ads dns register` working correctly running manually or during a
+domain join a special entry in /etc/hosts was required. This not really
+documented and thus the DNS registration mostly didn't work. With the new option
+the default is [netbios name].[realm] which should be correct in the majority of
+use cases.
+
+We will also use the value to create service principal names during a Kerberos
+authentication and DNS functions.
+
+This is not supported in samba-tool yet.
