+
+NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
+====================
+
+Here is a copy of a clarification note added to the Samba code
+in the file: VFS-License-clarification.txt.
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A clarification of our GNU GPL License enforcement boundary within the Samba
+Virtual File System (VFS) layer.
+
+Samba is licensed under the GNU GPL. All code committed to the Samba
+project or that creates a "modified version" or software "based on" Samba must
+be either licensed under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.
+
+Samba has several plug-in interfaces where external code may be called
+from Samba GNU GPL licensed code. The most important of these is the
+Samba VFS layer.
+
+Samba VFS modules are intimately connected by header files and API
+definitions to the part of the Samba code that provides file services,
+and as such, code that implements a plug-in Samba VFS module must be
+licensed under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.
+
+However, Samba VFS modules may themselves call third-party external
+libraries that are not part of the Samba project and are externally
+developed and maintained.
+
+As long as these third-party external libraries do not use any of the
+Samba internal structure, APIs or interface definitions created by the
+Samba project (to the extent that they would be considered subject to the GNU
+GPL), then the Samba Team will not consider such third-party external
+libraries called from Samba VFS modules as "based on" and/or creating a
+"modified version" of the Samba code for the purposes of GNU GPL.
+Accordingly, we do not require such libraries be licensed under the GNU GPL
+or a GNU GPL compatible license.
+
+VFS
+---
+
+The effort to modernize Samba's VFS interface has reached a major milestone with
+the next release Samba 4.14.
+
+For details please refer to the documentation at source3/modules/The_New_VFS.txt or
+visit the <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/The_New_VFS>.
+
+Printing
+--------
+
+Publishing printers in AD is more reliable and more printer features are
+added to the published information in AD. Samba now also supports Windows
+drivers for the ARM64 architecture.
+
+Client Group Policy
+-------------------
+This release extends Samba to support Group Policy functionality for Winbind
+clients. Active Directory Administrators can set policies that apply Sudoers
+configuration, and cron jobs to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
+
+To enable the application of Group Policies on a client, set the global
+smb.conf option 'apply group policies' to 'yes'. Policies are applied on an
+interval of every 90 minutes, plus a random offset between 0 and 30 minutes.
+
+Policies applied by Samba are 'non-tattooing', meaning that changes can be
+reverted by executing the `samba-gpupdate --unapply` command. Policies can be
+re-applied using the `samba-gpupdate --force` command.
+To view what policies have been or will be applied to a system, use the
+`samba-gpupdate --rsop` command.
+
+Administration of Samba policy requires that a Samba ADMX template be uploaded
+to the SYSVOL share. The samba-tool command `samba-tool gpo admxload` is
+provided as a convenient method for adding this policy. Once uploaded, policies
+can be modified in the Group Policy Management Editor under Computer
+Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates. Alternatively, Samba policy
+may be managed using the `samba-tool gpo manage` command. This tool does not
+require the admx templates to be installed.
+
+Python 3.6 or later required
+----------------------------
+
+Samba's minimum runtime requirement for python was raised to Python
+3.6 with samba 4.13. Samba 4.14 raises this minimum version to Python
+3.6 also to build Samba. It is no longer possible to build Samba
+(even just the file server) with Python versions 2.6 and 2.7.
+
+As Python 2.7 has been End Of Life upstream since April 2020, Samba
+is dropping ALL Python 2.x support in this release.
+
+Miscellaneous samba-tool changes
+--------------------------------
+
+The 'samba-tool' subcommands to manage AD objects (e.g. users, computers and
+groups) now consistently use the "add" command when adding a new object to
+the AD. The previous deprecation warnings when using the 'add' commands
+have been removed. For compatibility reasons, both the 'add' and 'create'
+commands can be used now.
+
+Users, groups and contacts can now be renamed with the respective rename
+commands.
+
+Locked users can be unlocked with the new 'samba-tool user unlock' command.
+
+The 'samba-tool user list' and 'samba-tool group listmembers' commands
+provide additional options to hide expired and disabled user accounts
+(--hide-expired and --hide-disabled).
+
+
+CTDB CHANGES
+============
+
+* The NAT gateway and LVS features now uses the term "leader" to refer
+ to the main node in a group through which traffic is routed and
+ "follower" for other members of a group. The command for
+ determining the leader has changed to "ctdb natgw leader" (from
+ "ctdb natgw master"). The configuration keyword for indicating that
+ a node can not be the leader of a group has changed to
+ "follower-only" (from "slave-only"). Identical changes were made
+ for LVS.
+
+* Remove "ctdb isnotrecmaster" command. It isn't used by CTDB's
+ scripts and can be checked by users with "ctdb pnn" and "ctdb
+ recmaster".
+
+

+ -------------- ----------- -------
+ smb encrypt Removed
+ async dns timeout New 10
