Some major user-visible changes include:
-- The issue with beta3 being unable to build with a released version of
+- The issue with beta4 being unable to build with a released version of
ldb has been resolved.
-- A new tool 'samba-tool domain dcpromo' has been added to allow the
- promotion of existing domain member accounts to a DC without creating
- a new SID
+- The two parameter tables for our two smb.conf parsing engines have
+ been merged. This removes the ugly (but harmless) "unknown
+ parameter xxx" warnings, particularly from the smbd child process.
-- When provisioning with --use_rfc2307=yes we will populate the
- subtree CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,${DOMAINDN}. This makes
- it possible to manipulate the posix attributes via ADUC.
+- Major issues have been fixed in conflict and missing/deleted parent
+ handling in or DRS replication engine.
-- Improved 'samba-tool gpo' subcommands
+- Safety improvements to prevent corruption of read-write replicas
+ by manual replication from a read-only replica.
-- --disable-ntdb now works properly
+- Improvements to dbcheck to correct incorrect instanceType values from
+ the above and to relocate objects with missing parents.
-- Bug 9026 - 3.6.6 upgrade from 3.5.x fails with "Couldn't migrate
- printers tdb file: NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY" has been resolved
+- smbd no longer places all accounts in the 'Domain Users' of the AD
+ domain to which it is joined
-- Bug 9016 - Connection to outbound trusted domain goes offline has
- been resolved
+- AES support in NETLOGON Schannel
+
+- DCE/RPC timeout handling no longer crashes
+
+- "socket address" is now "nbt client socket address" as it only
+ controls the binding of the NetBIOS client, not other protocols.
+ See 'bind interfaces only = yes'. This parameter is also now depricated.
+
+- nmbd now always binds to it's broadcast sockets explicitly, rather
+ than just relying on the socket address above.
Less visible, but important changes under the hood include:
- Continued work to support SMB2 and SMB3
-- Correct restrictions and permissions on LSA calls over TCP and via
- Schannel have been implemented and tested
-
- Continued work to use async IO to improve file server performance.
+- Patches to ensure that talloc_tos() and talloc_stackframe() are
+ always used correctly.

KNOWN ISSUES
============
- This release makes the s3fs file server the default, as this is the
file server combination we will use for the Samba 4.0 release.
- Users should still expect some rough edges: in particular, there are
- warnings about invalid parameters from the two respective parameter
- parsing engines.
- Modifying of group policies by members of the Domain Administrators
group is not possible with the s3fs file server, only with the ntvfs
