 NEW FEATURES
 ============
 
-Transparent File Compression
-============================
-
-Samba 4.2.0 adds support for the manipulation of file and folder
-compression flags on the Btrfs filesystem.
-With the Btrfs Samba VFS module enabled, SMB2+ compression flags can
-be set remotely from the Windows Explorer File->Properties->Advanced
-dialog. Files flagged for compression are transparently compressed
-and uncompressed when accessed or modified.
-
-Previous File Versions with Snapper
-===================================
+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.
 
-The newly added Snapper VFS module exposes snapshots managed by
-Snapper for use by Samba. This provides the ability for remote
-clients to access shadow-copies via Windows Explorer using the
-"previous versions" dialog.
+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.
