+Samba-tool now supports all 7 FSMO roles
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Previously "samba-tool fsmo" could only show, transfer or seize the
+five well-known FSMO roles:
+
+	Schema Master
+	Domain Naming Master
+	RID Master
+	PDC Emulator
+	Infrastructure Master
+
+It can now also show, transfer or seize the DNS infrastructure roles:
+
+	DomainDnsZones Infrastructure Master
+	ForestDnsZones Infrastructure Master
+
+CTDB logging changes
+--------------------
+
+The destination for CTDB logging is now set via a single new
+configuration variable CTDB_LOGGING.  This replaces CTDB_LOGFILE and
+CTDB_SYSLOG, which have both been removed.  See ctdbd.conf(5) for
+details of CTDB_LOGGING.
+
+CTDB no longer runs a separate logging daemon.
+
+CTDB NFS support changes
+------------------------
+
+CTDB's NFS service management has been combined into a single 60.nfs
+event script.  This updated 60.nfs script now uses a call-out to
+interact with different NFS implementations.  See the CTDB_NFS_CALLOUT
+option in the ctdbd.conf(5) manual page for details.  A default
+call-out is provided to interact with the Linux kernel NFS
+implementation.  The 60.ganesha event script has been removed - a
+sample call-out is provided for NFS Ganesha, based on this script.
+
+The method of configuring NFS RPC checks has been improved.  See
+ctdb/config/nfs-checks.d/README for details.
+
+Improved Cross-Compiling Support
+--------------------------------
+
+A new "hybrid" build configuration mode is added to improve
+cross-compilation support.
+
+A common challenge in cross-compilation is that of obtaining the results
+of tests that have to run on the target, during the configuration
+phase of the build. The Samba build system already supports the following
+means to do so:
+
+  - Executing configure tests using the --cross-execute parameter
+  - Obtaining the results from an answers file using the --cross-answers
+    parameter
+
+The first method has the drawback of inaccurate results if the tests are
+run using an emulator, or a need to be connected to a running target
+while building, if the tests are to be run on an actual target. The
+second method presents a challenge of figuring out the test results.
+
+The new hybrid mode runs the tests and records the result in an answer file.
+To activate this mode, use both --cross-execute and --cross-answers in the
+same configure invocation. This mode can be activated once against a
+running target, and then the generated answers file can be used in
+subsequent builds.
+
+Also supplied is an example script that can be used as the
+cross-execute program. This script copies the test to a running target
+and runs the test on the target, obtaining the result. The obtained
+results are more accurate than running the test with an emulator, because
+they reflect the exact kernel and system libraries that exist on the
+target.
