+Removal of lpcfg_register_defaults_hook()
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The undocumented and unsupported function lpcfg_register_defaults_hook()
+that was used by external projects to call into Samba and modify
+smb.conf default parameter settings has been removed. If your project
+was using this call please raise the issue on
+samba-technical@lists.samba.org in order to design a supported
+way of obtaining the same functionality.
+
+Change of loadable module interface
+-----------------------------------
+
+The _init function of all loadable modules in Samba has changed
+from:
+
+NTSTATUS _init(void);
+
+to:
+
+NTSTATUS _init(TALLOC_CTX *);
+
+This allows a program loading a module to pass in a long-lived
+talloc context (which must be guaranteed to be alive for the
+lifetime of the module). This allows modules to avoid use of
+the talloc_autofree_context() (which is inherently thread-unsafe)
+and still be valgrind-clean on exit. Modules that don't need to
+free long-lived data on exist should use the NULL talloc context.
