Release Announcements
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This is the first preview release of Samba 4.13. This is *not*
|
|
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
|
|
purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
|
|
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
|
|
|
|
Samba 4.13 will be the next version of the Samba suite.

UPGRADING
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Python 3.6 Required
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Samba's minimum runtime requirement for python was raised to Python
|
|
3.5 with samba 4.12. Samba 4.13 raises this minimum version to Python
|
|
3.6 both to access new features and because this is the oldest version
|
|
we test with in our CI infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
(Build time support for the file server with Python 2.6 has not
|
|
changed)
|
|
|
|
wide links functionality
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
For this release, the code implementing the insecure "wide links = yes"
|
|
functionality has been moved out of the core smbd code and into a separate
|
|
VFS module, vfs_widelinks. Currently this vfs module is implicitly loaded
|
|
by smbd as the last but one module before vfs_default if "wide links = yes"
|
|
is enabled on the share (note, the existing restrictions on enabling wide
|
|
links around the SMB1 "unix extensions" and the "allow insecure wide links"
|
|
parameters are still in force). The implicit loading was done to allow
|
|
existing users of "wide links = yes" to keep this functionality without
|
|
having to make a change to existing working smb.conf files.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the Samba developers recommend changing any Samba
|
|
installations that currently use "wide links = yes" to use bind mounts
|
|
as soon as possible, as "wide links = yes" is an inherently insecure
|
|
configuration which we would like to remove from Samba. Moving the
|
|
feature into a VFS module allows this to be done in a cleaner way
|
|
in future.
|
|
|
|
A future release to be determined will remove this implicit linkage,
|
|
causing administrators who need this functionality to have to explicitly
|
|
add the vfs_widelinks module into the "vfs objects =" parameter lists.
|
|
The release notes will be updated to note this change when it occurs.
