CHANGES SINCE alpha8
CHANGES SINCE alpha9
=====================
In the time since Samba4 alpha8 was released in June 2009, Samba has
continued to evolve, but you may particularly notice these areas
(in no particular order):
Samba4 now includes the full set of user interface strings (display Specifiers)
required to have the Microsoft Management Console operate
LDB (the core Samba4 database library) has again been reworked for
better performance
Replication between Samba4 and Active Directory domains using the
native replication protocol (DRS) has been demonstrated.
Access Control Lists (in nTSecurityDescriptor) are now set correctly
on objects in the directory, based on the same rules as Windows 2008.
(Searches and still use a simplistic administrator/not administrator
criteria)
These are just some of the user-visible highlights of the work done in
the past few months. More details of the work done 'under the hood'
can be found in our GIT history.
Alpha9 was released last week, but in the time since the release we
have found and fixed an important segfault, and improved the
experimental DRS replication.
