Release Announcements ===================== This is the first preview release of Samba 4.10. 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 4.10 will be the next version of the Samba suite. UPGRADING ========= NEW FEATURES/CHANGES ==================== GPO Improvements ---------------- 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. 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). 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. prefork 'prefork children' -------------------------- The default value for this smdb.conf parameter has been increased from 1 to 4. netlogon prefork ---------------- DCERPC now supports pre-forked NETLOGON processes. The netlogon processes are pre-forked when the prefork process model is selected for samba.
