 samba-tool dbcheck will now upgrade older databases that are missing
 GUIDs in the schema partition.  
 
+The 'samba-tool domain samba3upgrade' command is now called
+'samba-tool domain classicupgrade' and now creates users and groups
+with the posixAccount objectClass and uidNumber and gidNumber values.
+
+The new 'idmap_ldb:use rfc2307' parameter allows these values to be
+used instead of the idmap.ldb, where found in the directory.
+
+Work has continued to make Samba more portable to a wide variety of
+Unix-like systems, and to support --without-ad-dc on systems lacking a
+modern MIT krb5.
+
+Less visible, but very importantly, the work has continued in restructuring
+the smbd file server to implement SMB3.
+
+The TDB2 database library has been changed to ntdb, but will not be
+the default db layer for the 4.0 release.  We will continue to use tdb1.
