In the time since Samba4 Alpha2 was released in December 2007, Samba has
continued to evolve, but you may particularly notice these areas:
MMC Support: The Active Directory Users and Computers console now
handles group membership correctly.
Python Bindings: Bindings for Python are now in place, and used for
Samba's provision script, slowly displacing EJS as the embedded
scripting language
member/memberOf: These and other linked attributes are now kept in
sync
SWAT Disabled: Due to a lack of developer time and without a
long-term web developer to maintain it, the SWAT web UI has been
disabled.
subtree renames: Renaming a subtree of LDAP objects is now possible,
with all linked attributes being kept consistant.
Oplock support: Samba4's file server now supports oplocks
Python Bindings: Bindings for a future move to Python as the
internal scripting language have been created.
Shared library use: In support of projects such as OpenChange,
which depend on Samba4, more of Samba4 is built as shared libraries.
GNU Make: To try and simplfy our build system, we rely on GNU Make
to avoid autogenerating a massive single makefile.
These are just some of the highlights of the work done in the past few
months. More details can be found in our SVN history.
