WHATSNEW.txt: New file - the idea is that it is updated for new releases and acts as a first point for users who want to see if they should upgrade. jallison@whistle.com (This used to be commit 9773d1df2db6131990bbcc678b1bb63bfcb2d02b)

WHATS NEW IN 1.9.17alpha1 - May 21st 1997.
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Improved browsing support.
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Samba now should support propagation of browse lists
|
|
across subnets correctly. Look in the file docs/BROWSING.txt
|
|
as it has been largely re-written to explain how to do this.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Silicon Graphics for allowing us to test the new
|
|
code on their corporate network.
|
|
|
|
Improved share mode handling
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The handling of share modes has been completely rewritten.
|
|
Samba can now run agressive PC Benchmarks (Ziff-Davis
|
|
NetBench) correctly with many hundreds of concurrent PC's.
|
|
The confidence level on share mode handling in Samba
|
|
is now much higher than it was previously. PC database
|
|
packages should be much safer when run against a
|
|
Samba share. Thanks to Silicon Graphics for testing
|
|
this code for us.
|
|
|
|
If at all possible compile Samba to use the new share
|
|
mode handling with shared memory (set the flags
|
|
FAST_SHARE_MODES in the Makefile). This will be *much* faster
|
|
than old file-based share modes. FAST_SHARE_MODES have
|
|
been turned on by default on the following platforms in
|
|
the Makefile :
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
Solaris
|
|
BSDI
|
|
IRIX 5.x.x
|
|
FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
Updated smb.conf documentation
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
All options are now documented we believe.
|
|
|
|
Many small bugfixes and improvements
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
From around the 'net around the world. Many
|
|
thanks to everyone who contributed.
|
|
|
|

|
|
bugs or problems.
