4 This is the first pre release of Samba 4.19. 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 4.19 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
19 Migrated smbget to use common command line parser
20 -------------------------------------------------
22 The smbget utility implemented its own command line parsing logic. After
23 discovering an issue we decided to migrate it to use the common command line
24 parser. This has some advantages as you get all the feature it provides like
25 Kerberos authentication. The downside is that breaks the options interface.
26 The support for smbgetrc has been removed. You can use an authentication file
27 if needed, this is documented in the manpage.
29 Please check the smbget manpage or --help output.
34 The libgpo.get_gpo_list function has been deprecated in favor of
35 an implementation written in python. The new function can be imported via
36 `import samba.gp`. The python implementation connects to Active Directory
37 using the SamDB module, instead of ADS (which is what libgpo uses).
39 Improved winbind logging and a new tool for parsing the winbind logs
40 --------------------------------------------------------------------
42 Winbind logs (if smb.conf 'winbind debug traceid = yes' is set) contain new
43 trace header fields 'traceid' and 'depth'. Field 'traceid' allows to track the
44 trace records belonging to the same request. Field 'depth' allows to track the
45 request nesting level. A new tool samba-log-parser is added for better log
55 Parameter Name Description Default
56 -------------- ----------- -------
57 winbind debug traceid Add traceid No
58 directory name cache size Removed
