2 Release Notes for Samba 3.5.0pre1
4 =================================
6 This is the first preview release of Samba 3.5. This is *not*
7 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
8 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
9 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
11 Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.0 include:
14 o Add support for full Windows timestamp resolution
17 o Experimental implementation of SMB2
20 o Add encryption support for connections to a CUPS server
29 Support for full Windows timestamp resolution has been added. This effectively
30 makes us use Windows' full 100ns timestamp resolution if supported by the
31 kernel (2.6.22 and higher) and the glibc (2.6 and higher).
36 An EXPERIMENTAL implementation of the SMB2 protocol has been added. SMB2 can be
37 enabled by setting "max protocol = smb2". SMB2 is a new implementation of the
38 SMB protocol used by Windows Vista and higher.
43 A new parameter "cups encrypt" has been added to control whether connections to
44 CUPS servers will be encrypted or not. The default is to use unencrypted
50 The Winbind daemon has been refactored internally to be asynchronous. The new
51 Winbind will not be blocked by running 'wbinfo -g' or 'wbinfo -u'.
