 NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
 ====================
 
-Support for LDAP_SERVER_NOTIFICATION_OID
-----------------------------------------
-
-The ldap server has support for the LDAP_SERVER_NOTIFICATION_OID
-control. This can be used to monitor the active directory database
-for changes.
-
-
-REMOVED FEATURES
-================
-
-only user and username parameters
----------------------------------
-These two parameters have long been deprecated and superseded by
-"valid users" and "invalid users".
+The "strict sync" global parameter has been changed from
+a default of "no" to "yes". This means smbd will by default
+obey client requests to synchronize unwritten data in operating
+system buffers safely onto disk. This is a safer default setting
+for modern SMB1/2/3 clients.
+
+Authentication and Authorization audit support
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Detailed authentication and authorization audit information is now
+logged to Samba's debug logs under the "auth_audit" debug class,
+including in particular the client IP address triggering the audit
+line.  Additionally, if Samba is compiled against the jansson JSON
+library, a JSON representation is logged under the "auth_json_audit"
+debug class.
+
+Audit support is comprehensive for all authentication and
+authorisation of user accounts in the Samba Active Directory Domain
+Controller, as well as the implicit authentication in password
+changes.  In the file server and classic/NT4 domain controller, NTLM
+authentication, SMB and RPC authorization is covered, however password
+changes are not at this stage, and this support is not currently
+backed by a testsuite.
