UPGRADING
=========
+Nothing special.
NEW FEATURES
============
+Flush requests from SMB2/3 clients are handled asynchronously and do
+not block the processing of other requests. Note that 'strict sync'
+has to be set to 'yes' for Samba to honor flush requests from SMB
+clients.
+WINS nsswitch module
+====================
+
+The WINS nsswitch module has been rewritten to address memory issues and to
+simplify the code. The module now uses libwbclient to do WINS queries. This
+means that winbind needs to be running in order to resolve WINS names using
+the nss_wins module. This does not affect smbd.
