CHANGES SINCE beta8
===================
The smbd file server now offers SMB3 as the maximum protocol
by default. Samba can negotiate version 3 of the SMB protocol
and supports the required features, including all required
features of SMB 2.1 and SMB 2.0. Note that this does not imply
that Samba implements all features of SMB3 since many of them
are optional capabilities. Examples of features that Samba does
not implement yet are leases (SMB 2.1) and multi-channel (SMB 3).
Samba now offers an initial support for SMB2 durable file handles.
These are enabled by default and can be turned off on a per share
basis by setting "durable handles = no" on the share configuration.
Note that in order to prevent conflicts with other applications
accessing the same files, durable handles are only granted on
shares that are configured for CIFS/SMB2-only access, i.e. more
explicitly shares that are configured for minimal interoperability
with these settings:
kernel oplocks = no
kernel share modes = no
posix locking = no
The option "kernel share modes" has been introduced to be able
to turn the translation of SMB share modes into kernel flocks
off.
The 'provision' script was merged into 'samba-tool'
as 'samba-tool domain provision' the arguments are still
the same.
The 'updateprovision' script was renamed to 'samba_upgradeprovision'.
We changed the default dns implementation to the internal dns server
(SAMBA_INTERNAL). BIND9_FLATFILE and BIND9_DLZ are still available,
but you'll have to add '-dns' to the 'server services' option
to disable the internal dns server.
The default for 'allow dns updates' has changed to 'secure only'.
