consistently. In interactive session the following banner is now presented
to the user: 'Try "help" do get a list of possible commands.'.
+The default for "client max protocol" has changed to "SMB3_11",
+which means that smbclient (and related commands) will work against
+servers without SMB1 support.
+
+It's possible to use the '-m/--max-protocol' option to overwrite
+the "client max protocol" option temporary.
+
+Note that the '-e/--encrypt' option also works with most SMB3 servers
+(e.g. Windows >= 2012 and Samba >= 4.0.0), so the SMB1 unix extensions
+are not required for encryption.
+
+The change to SMB3_11 as default also means smbclient no longer
+negotiates SMB1 unix extensions by default, when talking to a Samba server with
+"unix extensions = yes". As a result some commands are not available, e.g.
+posix_encrypt, posix_open, posix_mkdir, posix_rmdir, posix_unlink, posix_whoami,
+getfacl and symlink. Using "-mNT1" reenabled them, if the server supports SMB1.
+
+Note the default ("CORE") for "client min protocol" hasn't changed,
+so it's still possible to connect to SMB1-only servers by default.
