+ =============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 3.4.0
+ July 3, 2009
+ =============================
+
+
+This is the first stable release of Samba 3.4.
+
+
+Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
+------------------------------------------
+
+Configuration changes:
+o The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'!
+
+General changes:
+o Samba4 and Samba3 sources are included in the tarball
+
+Authentication Changes:
+o Changed the way smbd handles untrusted domain names given during user
+ authentication.
+
+Printing Changes:
+o Various fixes including printer change notificiation for Samba spoolss
+ print servers.
+
+Internal changes:
+o The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog
+ and spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
+o Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library.
+o The code has been cleaned up and the major basic interfaces are shared with
+ Samba4 now.
+o An asynchronous API has been added.
+
+
+Configuration changes
+=====================
+
+!!! ATTENTION !!!
+The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'! That breaks existing
+setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration! Please use
+'passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the 'smbpasswd'
+backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g. 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e
+tdbsam'.
+
+The 'tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user settings
+like 'profile path' or 'home directory' and there are some commands which do not
+work with the 'smbpasswd' backend at all.
+
+
+General Changes
+===============
+
+On the way towards a standalone Samba AD domain controller, Samba3 and Samba4
+branches can be built as "merged" build. That's why Samba3 and Samba4 sources
+are included in the tarball. The merged build is possible in Samba 3.4.0, but
+disabled by default. To learn more about the merged build,
+please see http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Franky.
+
+According to this one, there is no "source" directory included in the tarball at
+all. Samba3 sources are located in "source3", Samba4 sources are located in
+"source4". The libraries have been moved to the toplevel directory.
+
+To build plain Samba3, please change to "source3" and start the build as usual.
+To build Samba4 as well, please use the "--enable-merged-build" configure
+option.
+
+
+Authentication Changes
+======================
+
+Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
+untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
+domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
+using that DOMAIN\user name. This differed from how a Windows member server
+would behave. Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name. In
+the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user. In the case
+where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
+Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
+with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
+
+While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
+on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification. A new
+parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
+behavior.
+
+
+Printing Changes
+================
+
+The spoolss subsystem was replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL. That fixes
+several printing issues including printer change notificiation on Samba print
+servers and will stabilize the printing functionality generally.
+The support for spoolss printing with Windows Vista has been improved.
+
+
+Internal Changes
+================
+
+The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog and
+spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
+So Guenther Deschner finally corrected one of the biggest mistakes in the
+development of Samba: Hand-marshalled RPC stubs.
+
+Thanks a lot! :-)
+
+Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library for fd and timer events.
+
+The code has been cleaned up and Samba3 and Samba4 do share the major basic
+interfaces now. That is why the libraries were moved to the toplevel directory.
+That is one of the first steps to share code and minimize the gap between
+these two versions.
+
+An asynchronous API has been added.
