This is the first preview release of Samba 4.8. This is *not*

|
|

NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Using x86_64 Accelerated AES Crypto Instructions
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
Samba on x86_64 can now be configured to use the Intel accelerated AES
|
|
instruction set, which has the potential to make SMB3 signing and
|
|
encryption much faster on client and server. To enable this, configure
|
|
Samba using the new option --accel-aes=intelaesni.
|
|
|
|
This is a temporary solution that is being included to allow users
|
|
to enjoy the benefits of Intel accelerated AES on the x86_64 platform,
|
|
but the longer-term solution will be to move Samba to a fully supported
|
|
external crypto library.
|
|
|
|
The third_party/aesni-intel code will be removed from Samba as soon as
|
|
external crypto library performance reaches parity.
|
|
|
|
The default is to build without setting --accel-aes, which uses the
|
|
existing Samba software AES implementation.
