4 This is the first release candidate of Samba 4.2. This is *not*
5 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
6 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
7 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
9 Samba 4.2 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
20 Transparent File Compression
21 ============================
23 Samba 4.2.0 adds support for the manipulation of file and folder
24 compression flags on the Btrfs filesystem.
25 With the Btrfs Samba VFS module enabled, SMB2+ compression flags can
26 be set remotely from the Windows Explorer File->Properties->Advanced
27 dialog. Files flagged for compression are transparently compressed
28 and uncompressed when accessed or modified.
30 Previous File Versions with Snapper
31 ===================================
33 The newly added Snapper VFS module exposes snapshots managed by
34 Snapper for use by Samba. This provides the ability for remote
35 clients to access shadow-copies via Windows Explorer using the
36 "previous versions" dialog.
