+Retiring DES encryption types in Kerberos.
+------------------------------------------
+With this release, support for DES encryption types has been removed from
+Samba, and setting DES_ONLY flag for an account will cause Kerberos
+authentication to fail for that account (see RFC-6649).
+
+Samba-DC: DES keys no longer saved in DB.
+-----------------------------------------
+When a new password is set for an account, Samba DC will store random keys
+in DB instead of DES keys derived from the password. If the account is being
+migrated to Windbows or to an older version of Samba in order to use DES keys,
+the password must be reset to make it work.
+
+Heimdal-DC: removal of weak-crypto.
+-----------------------------------
+Following removal of DES encryption types from Samba, the embedded Heimdal
+build has been updated to not compile weak crypto code (HEIM_WEAK_CRYPTO).
