 purposes only.  Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting

 UPGRADING
 =========
 
-Nothing special.
 
-NEW FEATURES
-============
-
-Flush requests from SMB2/3 clients are handled asynchronously and do
-not block the processing of other requests. Note that 'strict sync'
-has to be set to 'yes' for Samba to honor flush requests from SMB
-clients.
-
-WINS nsswitch module
+NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
 ====================
 
-The WINS nsswitch module has been rewritten to address memory issues and to
-simplify the code. The module now uses libwbclient to do WINS queries. This
-means that winbind needs to be running in order to resolve WINS names using
-the nss_wins module. This does not affect smbd.
+GPO Improvements
+----------------
 
-######################################################################
-Changes
-#######
+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.
 
-smb.conf changes
-----------------
+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).
 
-  Parameter Name               Description             Default
-  --------------               -----------             -------

-CTDB changes
-------------
+REMOVED FEATURES
+================
 
-* Configuration variable CTDB_NATGW_SLAVE_ONLY is no longer used.
-  Instead, nodes should be annotated with the "slave-only" option in
-  the CTDB NAT gateway nodes file.  This file must be consistent
-  across nodes in a NAT gateway group.  See ctdbd.conf(5) for more
-  details.
 
-* The CTDB tunable parameter EventScriptTimeoutCount has been renamed
-  to MonitorTimeoutCount
+smb.conf changes
+================
 
-  It has only ever been used to limit timed-out monitor events.
+  Parameter Name                     Description             Default
+  --------------                     -----------             -------
 
-  Configurations containing CTDB_SET_EventScriptTimeoutCount=<n> will
-  cause CTDB to fail at startup.  Useful messages will be logged.
