cryptography effectively wraps bad cryptography, but for now that above
applies.
+zlib library is now required to build Samba
+-------------------------------------------

+Samba no longer includes a local copy of zlib in our source tarball.
+By removing this we do not need to ship (even where we did not
+build) the old, broken zip encryption code found there.

no longer silently overwrite an existing file during data export. If

+Fuzzing
+-------
+
+A large number of fuzz targets have been added to Samba, and Samba has
+been registered in Google's oss-fuzz cloud fuzzing service. In
+particular, we now have good fuzzing coverage of our generated NDR
+parsing code.
+
+A large number of issues have been found and fixed thanks to this
+effort.
