4 This is the first pre release of Samba 4.20. 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 4.20 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
19 New Minimum MIT Krb5 version for Samba AD Domain Controller
20 -----------------------------------------------------------
22 Samba now requires MIT 1.21 when built against a system MIT Krb5 and
23 acting as an Active Directory DC. This addresses the issues that were
24 fixed in CVE-2022-37967 (KrbtgtFullPacSignature) and ensures that
25 Samba builds against the MIT version that allows us to avoid that
28 Removed dependency on Perl JSON module
29 --------------------------------------
31 Distributions are advised that the Perl JSON package is no longer
32 required by Samba builds that use the imported Heimdal. The build
33 instead uses Perl's JSON::PP built into recent perl5 versions.
35 Current lists of packages required by Samba for major distributions
36 are found in the bootstrap/generated-dists/ directory of a Samba
37 source tree. While there will be some differences - due to features
38 chosen by packagers - comparing these lists with the build dependencies
39 in a package may locate other dependencies we no longer require.
