Please notice that, contrary to what we generally did up to now,
Debian maintainers have not been able to build a package for pre1
before pre2 went out...

This is mostly because we apparently can't build with the packaged
talloc libraries (Debian currently has 2.0.0 while 3.5.0pre version
apprently need 2.0.1).

Hopefully, that will be solved for pre2 if Jelmer manages to package
talloc 2.0.1.

Of course, as long as 3.5 is a prerelease, we will upload it to Debian
experimental and 3.4.* series will remain the ones targeted for Debian squeeeze.

[Samba] [Announce] Samba 3.5.0pre2 Available for Download

2009-12-15 Thread Karolin Seeger
Release Announcements
=

This is the second preview release of Samba 3.5.  This is *not*
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
purposes only.  Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.

Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.0 include:

General changes:
o Add support for full Windows timestamp resolution

Protocol changes:
o Experimental implementation of SMB2

Printing Changes:
o Add encryption support for connections to a CUPS server

Winbind changes:
o Major refactoring
o Asynchronous


General changes:


Support for full Windows timestamp resolution has been added. This effectively
makes us use Windows' full 100ns timestamp resolution if supported by the
kernel (2.6.22 and higher) and the glibc (2.6 and higher).

Protocol changes


An EXPERIMENTAL implementation of the SMB2 protocol has been added. SMB2 can be
enabled by setting "max protocol = smb2". SMB2 is a new implementation of the
SMB protocol used by Windows Vista and higher.

Printing Changes


A new parameter "cups encrypt" has been added to control whether connections to
CUPS servers will be encrypted or not. The default is to use unencrypted
connections.

Winbind changes
===

The Winbind daemon has been refactored internally to be asynchronous. The new
Winbind will not be blocked by running 'wbinfo -g' or 'wbinfo -u'.
