-This is the third preview release of Samba 3.2.0. This is *not*
+This is the first preview release of Samba 3.3.0. This is *not*
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting

-
Major enhancements in Samba 3.2.0 include:
- File Serving:

- o New client and server support for remotely joining and unjoining
- Domains.
- o Support for joining into Windows 2008 domains.

-
-Now Licensed under the GNU GPLv3
-================================
-
-The Samba Team has adopted the Version 3 of the GNU General Public
-License for the 3.2 and later releases. The GPLv3 is the updated
-version of the GPLv2 license under which Samba is currently
-distributed. It has been updated to improve compatibility with other
-licenses and to make it easier to adopt internationally, and is an
-improved version of the license to better suit the needs of Free
-Software in the 21st Century.
-
-The original announcement is available on-line at
-
- http://news.samba.org/announcements/samba_gplv3/
-
-
-New Security Defaults for Authentication
-========================================
-
-Support for LanMan passwords is now disabled in both client and server
-applications. Additionally, clear text authentication requests are
-disabled by default in client utilities such as smbclient and all
-libsmbclient based applications. This will affect connection both
-to and from hosts running DOS, Windows 9x/ME, and OS/2. Please refer
-to the "Changes" section for details on the exact parameters that were
-updated.
-
-
-Registry Configuration Backend
-==============================
-
-Samba is now able to use a registry based configuration backed to
-supplement smb.conf settings. This feature may be enabled by setting
-"config backend = registry" in the [global] section of smb.conf for a
-registry only configuration, or by specifying "include = registry" to
-include global options from registry for a mixed setup.
-
-The new parameter "registry shares = yes" in the [global] section of
-smb.conf can be used to activate share definitions from registry.
-These shares are loaded on demand by the server. Registry shares are
-automatically activated by the global registry options above.
-
-The configuration stored in registry can be conveniently managed using
-the "net conf" command.
-
-More information may be obtained from the smb.conf(5) and net(8) man
-pages.
-
-
-Removed Features
-================
-
-Both the Python bindings and the libmsrpc shared library have been
-removed from the tree due to lack of an official maintainer.
-
-As smbfs is no longer supported in current kernel versions, smbmount has
-been removed in this Samba version. Please use cifs (mount.cifs) instead.
-See examples/scripts/mount/mount.smbfs as an example for a wrapper which
-calls mount.cifs instead of smbmount/mount.smbfs.
-
-
-Modified API for libsmbclient
-==============================================================================
-
-Maintaining ABI compatibility for libsmbclient has become increasingly
-difficult to accomplish, while also keeping the code organization such that it
-is easily readable. Towards the goal of maintaining ABI compatibility and
-also keeping the code easy to maintain and enhance, the API has been enhanced.
-In particular, the fields in the SMBCCTX context structure are no longer
-intended to be read/write by the user, and are marked as deprecated. An
-application that previously accessed the members of the SMBCCTX context
-structure will now encounter warnings if recompiled. This is intentional, to
-encourage implementation of the small changes required for the new interface.
-The number of changes is expected to be quite small for the vast majority of
-applications, and no changes need be made for many applications. The changes
-required for KDE (konqueror) to conform to the new interface, for example, are
-only four lines in only one file.
-
-Instead of the application manually changing or reading values in the context
-structure, there are now setter and getter functions for each configurable
-member in that structure. Similarly, the smbc_option_get() and
-smbc_option_set() functions are deprecated in favor of the setter/getter
-interface. The setters and getters are all documented in libsmbclient.h
-under these comment blocks:
-
- Getters and setters for CONFIGURATION
- Getters and setters for OPTIONS
- Getters and setters for FUNCTIONS
- Callable functions for files
- Callable functions for directories
- Callable functions applicable to both files and directories
-
-Example changes that may be required to eliminate "deprecated" warnings:
-
- /* Set the debug level */
- context->debug = 99;
-changes to:
- smbc_setDebug(context, 99);
-
- /* Specify the authentication callback function */
- context->callbacks.auth_fn = auth_smbc_get_data;
-changes to:
- smbc_setFunctionAuthData(context, auth_smbc_get_data);
-
- /* Specify the new-style authentication callback with context parameter */
- smbc_option_set("auth_function", auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx);
-changes to:
- smbc_setFunctionAuthDataWithContext(context, auth_smbc_get_data_with_ctx);
-
- /* Set kerberos flags */
- context->flags = (SMB_CTX_FLAG_USE_KERBEROS |
- SMB_CTX_FLAG_FALLBACK_AFTER_KERBEROS);
-changes to:
- smbc_setOptionUseKerberos(context, 1);
- smbc_setOptionFallbackAfterKerberos(context, 1);
