The WHATSNEW says:

# For pure file server work, the binaries users would expect from that
# series (smbd, nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available.

With the exception of the deprecated security=server and security=share
being removed, operation of these binaries, and the services these
provide remains unchanged.
