+                   =============================
+                   Release Notes for Samba 4.0.0
+                         December 11, 2012
+                   =============================
+
+
+This is is the first stable release of Samba 4.0.
+
+This release contains the best of all of Samba's
+technology parts, both a file server (that you can reasonably expect
+to upgrade existing Samba 3.x releases to) and the AD domain
+controller work previously known as 'Samba4'.
+
+Major enhancements in Samba 4.0.0 include:
+
+Active Directory services
+=========================
+
+Samba 4.0 supports the server-side of the Active Directory logon
+environment used by Windows 2000 and later, so we can do full domain
+join and domain logon operations with these clients.
+
+Our Domain Controller (DC) implementation includes our own built-in
+LDAP server and Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) as well as the
+Samba3-like logon services provided over CIFS.  We correctly generate
+the infamous Kerberos PAC, and include it with the Kerberos tickets we
+issue.
+
+When running an AD DC, you only need to run 'samba' (not smbd/nmbd/winbindd),
+as the required services are co-coordinated by this master binary.
+The tool to administer the Active Directory services is called 'samba-tool'.
+
+A short guide to setting up Samba 4 as an AD DC can be found on the wiki:
+
+  http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO
+
+
+File Services
+=============
+
+Samba 4.0.0 ships with two distinct file servers.  We now use the
+file server from the Samba 3.x series 'smbd' for all file serving by
+default.
+
+Samba 4.0 also ships with the 'NTVFS' file server.  This file server
+is what was used prior to the beta2 release of Samba 4.0, and is
+tuned to match the requirements of an AD domain controller.  We
+continue to support this, not only to provide continuity to
+installations that have deployed it as part of an AD DC, but also as a
+running example of the NT-FSA architecture we expect to move smbd to in
+the longer term.
+
+For pure file server work, the binaries users would expect from that
+series (smbd, nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available.
+
+
+DNS
+===
+
+As DNS is an integral part of Active Directory, we also provide two DNS
+solutions, a simple internal DNS server for 'out of the box' configurations
+and a more elaborate BIND plugin using the BIND DLZ mechanism in versions
+9.8 and 9.9. During the provision, you can select which backend to use.
+With the internal backend, your DNS server is good to go.
+If you chose the BIND_DLZ backend, a configuration file will be generated
+for bind to make it use this plugin, as well as a file explaining how to
+set up bind.
+
+
+NTP
+===
+
+To provide accurate timestamps to Windows clients, we integrate with
+the NTP project to provide secured NTP replies.  To use you need to
+start ntpd and configure it with the 'restrict ... ms-sntp' and
+ntpsigndsocket options.
+
+
+Python Scripting Interface
+==========================
+
+A new scripting interface has been added to Samba 4, allowing
+Python programs to interface to Samba's internals, and many tools and
+internal workings of the DC code is now implemented in python.
+
+
+Known Issues
+============
+
+- Replication of DNS data from one AD server to another may not work.
+  The DNS data used by the internal DNS server and bind9_dlz is stored
+  in an application partition in our directory.  The replication of
+  this partition is not yet reliable.
+
+- Replication may fail on FreeBSD due to getaddrinfo() rejecting names
+  containing _.  A workaround will be in a future release.
+
+- samba_upgradeprovision should not be run when upgrading to this release
+  from a recent release.  No important database format changes have
+  been made since alpha16.
+
+- Installation on systems without a system iconv (and developer
+  headers at compile time) is known to cause errors when dealing with
+  non-ASCII characters.
+
+- Domain member support in the 'samba' binary is in its infancy, and
+  is not comparable to the support found in winbindd.  As such, do not
+  use the 'samba' binary (provided for the AD server) on a member
+  server.
+
+- There is no NetBIOS browsing support (network neighbourhood)
+  available for the AD domain controller.  (Support in nmbd and smbd
+  for classic domains and member/standalone servers is unchanged).
+
+- Clock Synchronisation is critical.  Many 'wrong password' errors are
+  actually due to Kerberos objecting to a clock skew between client
+  and server.  (The NTP work in the previous alphas are partly to assist
+  with this problem).
+
+- The DRS replication code may fail.  Please contact the team if you
+  experience issues with DRS replication, as we have fixed many issues
+  here in response to feedback from our production users.
+
+- Linux inotify will now only be supported on systems where glibc also supports
+  it (for details, please refer to bug #8850).
+
+
+Upgrading
+=========
+
+Users upgrading from Samba 3.x domain controllers and wanting to use
+Samba 4.0 as an AD DC should use the 'samba-tool domain
+classicupgrade' command.  See the wiki for more details:
+https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba3upgrade/HOWTO.
+
+Users upgrading from Samba 4.0 alpha and beta releases since alpha15
+should run 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix' before re-starting
+Samba.  Users upgrading from earlier alpha releases should contact the
+team for advice.
+
+Users upgrading an AD DC from any previous release should run
+'samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset' to re-sync ACLs on the sysvol share
+with those matching the GPOs in LDAP and the defaults from an initial
+provision.  This will set an underlying POSIX ACL if required (eg not
+using the NTVFS file server).
+
+If you used the BIND9_FLATFILE or BIND9_DLZ features,
+you'll have to add '-dns' to the 'server services' option,
+as the internal dns server (SAMBA_INTERNAL) is the default now.
+
+
+Supported features
+==================
+
+A whitepaper of currently (un-)supported features is available on the wiki:

+
+CHANGES SINCE 4.0.0rc5
+======================
+
+In this release candidate, we have a significant number of improvements
+to our Access Control List (ACL) code, particularly for the Active
+Directory Domain Controller, but also in our general purpose file
+server.
+
+These changes are important, as they enable Group Policy Objects to work
+correctly, allow administrators to impose restrictions on some users
+reading certain parts of the directory and correctly propagating
+inherited ACLs down the LDAP directory tree.
+
+Users of the Active Directory Domain Controller upgrading from any
+previous release should run 'samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset' to re-sync
+ACLs on the sysvol share with those matching the GPOs in LDAP and the
+defaults from an initial provision.  This will set an underlying POSIX
+ACL if required.
+
+The ACLs in the Active Directory are also checked on searches by default.
+The automatic inheritance of ACLs is also correctly recalculated on
+changes now.
+
+o   Michael Adam <obnox at samba.org>
+    * BUG 9350: Fail "configure --with-ads" if ads support is not available.
+    * BUG 9446: Id mapping code delivers inconsistent results.
+    * BUG 9453: Fix building pdb_ldap as shared module.
+
+
+o   Jeremy Allison <jra at samba.org>
+    * BUG 9236: ACL masks incorrectly applied when setting ACLs.
