 NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
 ====================
 
-Python 3.5 Required
--------------------
-
-Samba's minimum runtime requirement for python was raised to Python
-3.4 with samba 4.11.  Samba 4.12 raises this minimum version to Python
-3.5 both to access new features and because this is the oldest version
-we test with in our CI infrastructure.
-
-(Build time support for the file server with Python 2.6 has not
-changed)
-
-GnuTLS 3.4.7 required
----------------------
-
-Samba is making efforts to remove in-tree cryptographic functionality,
-and to instead rely on externally maintained libraries.  To this end,
-Samba has chosen GnuTLS as our standard cryptographic provider.
-
-Samba now requires GnuTLS 3.4.7 to be installed (including development
-headers at build time) for all configurations, not just the Samba AD
-DC.
-
-Using GnuTLS for SMB3 encryption you will notice huge performance and copy
-speed improvements. Tests with the CIFS Kernel client from Linux Kernel 5.3
-show a 3x speed improvement for writing and a 2.5x speed improvement for reads!
-
-NOTE WELL: The use of GnuTLS means that Samba will honour the
-system-wide 'FIPS mode' (a reference to the US FIPS-140 cryptographic
-standard) and so will not operate in many still common situations if
-this system-wide parameter is in effect, as many of our protocols rely
-on outdated cryptography.
-
-A future Samba version will mitigate this to some extent where good
-cryptography effectively wraps bad cryptography, but for now that above
-applies.
-
 
 REMOVED FEATURES
 ================
 
-BIND9_FLATFILE deprecated
--------------------------
-
-The BIND9_FLATFILE DNS backend is deprecated in this release and will
-be removed in the future.  This was only practically useful on a single
-domain controller or under expert care and supervision.
-
-This release removes the "rndc command" smb.conf parameter, which
-supported this configuration by writing out a list of DCs permitted to
-make changes to the DNS Zone and nudging the 'named' server if a new
-DC was added to the domain.  Administrators using BIND9_FLATFILE will
-need to maintain this manually from now on.
