 NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
 ====================
 
-GPO Improvements
-----------------
+Default samba process model
+---------------------------
 
-A new 'samba-tool gpo export' command has been added that can export a
-set of Group Policy Objects from a domain in a generalised XML format.
-
-A corresponding 'samba-tool gpo restore' command has been added to
-rebuild the Group Policy Objects from the XML after generalization.
-(The administrator needs to correct the values of XML entities between
-the backup and restore to account for the change in domain).
-
-kdc prefork
------------
-
-The KDC now supports the pre-fork process model and worker processes will be
-forked for the KDC when the pre-fork process model is selected for samba.
+The default for the --model argument passed to the samba executable has changed
+from 'standard' to 'prefork'. This means a difference in the number of samba
+child processes that are created to handle client connections. The previous
+default would create a separate process for every LDAP or NETLOGON client
+connection. For a network with a lot of persistent client connections, this
+could result in significant memory overhead.  Now, with the new default of
+'prefork', the LDAP, NETLOGON, and KDC services will create a fixed number of
+worker processes at startup and share the client connections amongst these
+workers. The number of worker processes can be configured by the 'prefork
+children' setting in the smb.conf (the default is 4).
