All code committed to the Samba +project or that creates a "modified version" or software "based on" Samba must +be either licensed under the GNU GPL or a compatible license. + +Samba has several plug-in interfaces where external code may be called +from Samba GNU GPL licensed code. The most important of these is the +Samba VFS layer. + +Samba VFS modules are intimately connected by header files and API +definitions to the part of the Samba code that provides file services, +and as such, code that implements a plug-in Samba VFS module must be +licensed under the GNU GPL or a compatible license. + +However, Samba VFS modules may themselves call third-party external +libraries that are not part of the Samba project and are externally +developed and maintained. + +As long as these third-party external libraries do not use any of the +Samba internal structure, APIs or interface definitions created by the +Samba project (to the extent that they would be considered subject to the GNU +GPL), then the Samba Team will not consider such third-party external +libraries called from Samba VFS modules as "based on" and/or creating a +"modified version" of the Samba code for the purposes of GNU GPL. +Accordingly, we do not require such libraries be licensed under the GNU GPL +or a GNU GPL compatible license. + +VFS +--- + +The effort to modernize Samba's VFS interface has reached a major milestone with +the next release Samba 4.14. + +For details please refer to the documentation at source3/modules/The_New_VFS.txt or +visit the <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/The_New_VFS>. + +Printing +-------- + +Publishing printers in AD is more reliable and more printer features are +added to the published information in AD. Samba now also supports Windows +drivers for the ARM64 architecture. + +Client Group Policy +------------------- +This release extends Samba to support Group Policy functionality for Winbind +clients. Active Directory Administrators can set policies that apply Sudoers +configuration, and cron jobs to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. + +To enable the application of Group Policies on a client, set the global +smb.conf option 'apply group policies' to 'yes'. Policies are applied on an +interval of every 90 minutes, plus a random offset between 0 and 30 minutes. + +Policies applied by Samba are 'non-tattooing', meaning that changes can be +reverted by executing the `samba-gpupdate --unapply` command. Policies can be +re-applied using the `samba-gpupdate --force` command. +To view what policies have been or will be applied to a system, use the +`samba-gpupdate --rsop` command. + +Administration of Samba policy requires that a Samba ADMX template be uploaded +to the SYSVOL share. The samba-tool command `samba-tool gpo admxload` is +provided as a convenient method for adding this policy. Once uploaded, policies +can be modified in the Group Policy Management Editor under Computer +Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates. Alternatively, Samba policy +may be managed using the `samba-tool gpo manage` command. This tool does not +require the admx templates to be installed. + +Python 3.6 or later required +---------------------------- + +Samba's minimum runtime requirement for python was raised to Python +3.6 with samba 4.13. Samba 4.14 raises this minimum version to Python +3.6 also to build Samba. It is no longer possible to build Samba +(even just the file server) with Python versions 2.6 and 2.7. + +As Python 2.7 has been End Of Life upstream since April 2020, Samba +is dropping ALL Python 2.x support in this release. + +Miscellaneous samba-tool changes +-------------------------------- + +The 'samba-tool' subcommands to manage AD objects (e.g. users, computers and +groups) now consistently use the "add" command when adding a new object to +the AD. The previous deprecation warnings when using the 'add' commands +have been removed. For compatibility reasons, both the 'add' and 'create' +commands can be used now. + +Users, groups and contacts can now be renamed with the respective rename +commands. + +Locked users can be unlocked with the new 'samba-tool user unlock' command. + +The 'samba-tool user list' and 'samba-tool group listmembers' commands +provide additional options to hide expired and disabled user accounts +(--hide-expired and --hide-disabled). + + +CTDB CHANGES +============ + +* The NAT gateway and LVS features now uses the term "leader" to refer + to the main node in a group through which traffic is routed and + "follower" for other members of a group. The command for + determining the leader has changed to "ctdb natgw leader" (from + "ctdb natgw master"). The configuration keyword for indicating that + a node can not be the leader of a group has changed to + "follower-only" (from "slave-only"). Identical changes were made + for LVS. + +* Remove "ctdb isnotrecmaster" command. It isn't used by CTDB's + scripts and can be checked by users with "ctdb pnn" and "ctdb + recmaster". + + +smb.conf changes +================ + + Parameter Name Description Default + -------------- ----------- ------- + smb encrypt Removed + async dns timeout New 10 + client smb encrypt New default + honor change notify privilege New No + smbd force process locks New No + server smb encrypt New default + + +CHANGES SINCE 4.14.0rc4 +======================= + +o Trever L.
