If you are upgrading, or looking to develop, test or deploy Samba 4.0
beta releases, you should backup all configuration and data.
UPGRADING
=========
Users upgrading from Samba 3.x domain controllers and wanting to use
Samba 4.0 as an AD DC should use the 'samba-tool domain
classicupgrade' command. See the wiki for more details:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba3upgrade/HOWTO
Users upgrading from Samba 4.0 alpha and beta releases since alpha15
should run 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix'. Users upgrading
from earlier alpha releases should contact the team for advice.

Some major user-visible changes include:
The internal DNS server has had some stability improvements, and
now handles forwarded DNS replies in an async manner.
The default file server for EXISTING USERS has changed to s3fs. To
continue to use ntvfs, you must set in your smb.conf:
The build of libtdb.so and libtalloc.so has been removed from the
autoconf build. Use the build in lib/talloc and lib/tdb to build
this software for use across the system.
server services = +smb -s3fs
dcerpc endpoint services = +winreg +srvsvc
The smbclient and nmblookup binaries have been renamed in the top
level build, so smbclient/nmblookup are now the implementations from
the Samba 3.x heritage.
Improved handling of the cleanup of smbd child processes (removing a
number of scary warnings from our log output).
Much improved support for FreeBSD, including extended attribute
support on the filesystem for the AD DC.
samba-tool dbcheck will now upgrade older databases that are missing
GUIDs in the schema partition.
KNOWN ISSUES
============
- We are making this beta release to gain real-world use of the 's3fs'
- This release makes the s3fs file server the default, as this is the
file server combination we will use for the Samba 4.0 release.
