+Some parts of Samba (most notably winbindd) perform Kerberos client
+operations based on a Samba-generated krb5.conf file. A new
+parameter, "kerberos encryption types" allows configuring the
+encryption types set in this file, thereby allowing the user to
+enforce strong or legacy encryption in Kerberos exchanges.

+new option for owner inheritance
+--------------------------------
+The "inherit owner" smb.conf parameter instructs smbd to set the
+owner of files to be the same as the parent directory's owner.
+Up until now, this parameter could be set to "yes" or "no".
+A new option, "unix only", enables this feature only for the UNIX owner
+of the file, not affecting the SID owner in the Windows NT ACL of the
+file. This can be used to emulate something very similar to folder quotas.
