General Changes

An asynchronous API has been added.
+net Command Changes
+===================
+
+The net command now accepts the common command line parameters most other Samba
+command line utilities use, with a couple of remaining differences:
+
+-l still gives long output for net commands supporting the --long flag. This was
+more useful than the common --log-base parameter.
+
+-i still tells net to read data from stdin (like --stdin) instead of toggling
+the common --scope flag.
+
+-S still tells net the server to connect to (like --server) instead of
+negotiating the common --signing flag. As -S is probably used by most scripts
+doing net rpc commands, this would have been a high-impact change for little
+gain.
+
+This change was mainly done to unify the authentification options. Here, one
+flag changed it's meaning and one useful flag was added.
+
+-N used to be the short version of --ntname. It now matches the Samba default of
+--no-pass. Use this to stop net from prompting for a password if you want
+anonymous authentication.
+
+-A --authentication-file now takes an authentication file with the username and
+password you want net to use, avoiding a password prompt as with plain -U user
+or having to give a password on the command line as in -U user%pass.
+
+Last but not least net now always falls back to your local unix username if no
+-U is specified and a username is needed. net rpc commands will now prompt for a
+password unless one is specified using either -U user%pass or -A auth_file
