Some major user-visible changes include:
-The failure to start up due to a blocking smbd-fileserver.conf.pid has
-been resolved.
-
-Samba now includes support for version 2.1 of the SMB protocol,
-the SMB2 version of Windows 7 and 2008R2, including dynamic
-reauthentication and support for multi-credit (large MTU).
-Consequently, Samba negotiates SMB 2.1 by default: The value "SMB2"
-for the configuration parameter "max protocol" has been changed to
-be an alias for SMB 2.1. Previously, the default SMB2 version of
-Samba was the original version 2.0 of SMB that was shipped with
-Windows Vista and 2008.
-
-Samba now offers basic experimental support for SMB3, the next version
-of the SMB protocol (formerly known as SMB 2.2) that will be available
-with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. Negotiation of SMB3 can be
-activated by setting "max protocol" to "SMB3" in smb.conf.
-
-Thanks to upgrades to our AD DC code, particularly in schema handling,
-Samba can now correctly handle the installation of Microsoft Exchange
-2010. Other issues prevent run-time operation, but this is a major
-milestone in supporting one of the single mode demanding Active
-Directory applications.

+- A new tool 'samba-tool domain dcpromo' has been added to allow the

+- When provisioning with --use_rfc2307=yes we will populate the
+ subtree CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,${DOMAINDN}. This makes
+ it possible to manipulate the posix attributes via ADUC.
+
+- Improved 'samba-tool gpo' subcommands
+
+- --disable-ntdb now works properly
+
+- Bug 9026 - 3.6.6 upgrade from 3.5.x fails with "Couldn't migrate
+ printers tdb file: NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY" has been resolved
+
+- Bug 9016 - Connection to outbound trusted domain goes offline has
+ been resolved
+
+Less visible, but important changes under the hood include:
+
+- Continued work to support SMB2 and SMB3
+
+- Correct restrictions and permissions on LSA calls over TCP and via
+ Schannel have been implemented and tested
+
+- Continued work to use async IO to improve file server performance.
