 NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
 ====================
 
-Using x86_64 Accelerated AES Crypto Instructions
-================================================
 
-Samba on x86_64 can now be configured to use the Intel accelerated AES
-instruction set, which has the potential to make SMB3 signing and
-encryption much faster on client and server. To enable this, configure
-Samba using the new option --accel-aes=intelaesni.
-
-This is a temporary solution that is being included to allow users
-to enjoy the benefits of Intel accelerated AES on the x86_64 platform,
-but the longer-term solution will be to move Samba to a fully supported
-external crypto library.
-
-The third_party/aesni-intel code will be removed from Samba as soon as
-external crypto library performance reaches parity.
+REMOVED FEATURES
+================
 
-The default is to build without setting --accel-aes, which uses the
-existing Samba software AES implementation.
 
 smb.conf changes
 ================
 
-  Parameter Name                     Description             Default
-  --------------                     -----------             -------
-  oplock contention limit            Removed
-
-NT4-style replication based net commands removed
-================================================
-
-The following commands and sub-commands have been removed from the
-"net" utility:
-
-net rpc samdump
-net rpc vampire ldif
-
-Also, replicating from a real NT4 domain with "net rpc vampire" and
-"net rpc vampire keytab" has been removed.
-
-The NT4-based commands were accidentially broken in 2013, and nobody
-noticed the breakage. So instead of fixing them including tests (which
-would have meant writing a server for the protocols, which we don't
-have) we decided to remove them.
-
-For the same reason, the "samsync", "samdeltas" and "database_redo"
-commands have been removed from rpcclient.
-
-"net rpc vampire keytab" from Active Directory domains continues to be
-supported.
-
-vfs_aio_linux module removed
-============================
+  Parameter Name                     Description                Default
+  --------------                     -----------                -------
 
-The current Linux kernel aio does not match what Samba would
-do. Shipping code that uses it leads people to false
-assumptions. Samba implements async I/O based on threads by default,
-there is no special module required to see benefits of read and write
-request being sent do the disk in parallel.
