All users are -encouraged to upgrade to this new release as there have -been many improvements to the code since that time. -See the Frequently Asked Questions (under docs/faq) for -an explanation of how the version numbering scheme works, -distinguishing between stable and development releases. - -Changes since 1.9.16p11. ------------------------- - -Improved browsing support. --------------------------- - -Samba now should support propagation of browse lists -across subnets correctly. Look in the file docs/BROWSING.txt -as it has been largely re-written to explain how to do this. - -*IMPORTANT* All Samba servers acting as local/domain master -browsers must be running 1.9.17 (or later). - -Thanks to Silicon Graphics for allowing us to test the new -code on their corporate network. - - -Improved share mode handling ----------------------------- - -The handling of share modes has been completely rewritten. -Samba can now run agressive PC Benchmarks (Ziff-Davis -NetBench) correctly with many hundreds of concurrent PC's. -The confidence level on share mode handling in Samba -is now much higher than it was previously. PC database -packages should be safe when run against a Samba share. -Thanks to Silicon Graphics for testing this code for us. - -If at all possible compile Samba to use the new share -mode handling with shared memory (set the flags -FAST_SHARE_MODES in the Makefile). This will be *much* faster -than old file-based share modes. FAST_SHARE_MODES have -been turned on by default on the following platforms in -the Makefile : - - Linux - Solaris - BSDI - IRIX 5.x.x - FreeBSD - -Roving profile support. ------------------------ - -Roving profiles are believed to work correctly -with Windows NT 4.x and Windows 95. Domain logons -are fully implemented *for Windows 95 machines only*. - - -Updated documentation ---------------------- -All options are now documented in the smb.conf man page -we believe. Much work has been done by Samba Team members -to improve the quality and quantity of the Samba documentation. - -A draft new structure for documentation is being worked on: see -docs/faq/Samba-meta-FAQ for details. This will soon be a master -reference to all Samba documentation. - -Many bugfixes and improvements ------------------------------- -From around the 'net around the world. Many -thanks to everyone who contributed. - -Commercial thanks. ------------------- - -Thanks to Cisco for the new netbios alias code support. -Thanks to Silicon Graphics for the help with the cross -subnet browsing and NetBench code. -Thanks to Whistle for funding one of the Samba Team -members. - -Reporting bugs --------------- - -The Samba Team believes that this is a stable -production release, but all software has bugs. -If you have problems, or think you have found a -bug please email a report to : - -samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au - -Stating the version number of Samba that you -are running, and *full details* of the steps -we need to reproduce the problem. - -As always, all bugs are our responsibility. - -Regards, - - The Samba Team. |
