                    ==============================
+                   Release Notes for Samba 4.6.12
+                          December 20, 2017
+                   =============================
+
+
+This is the latest stable release of the Samba 4.6 release series.
+
+
+smbclient reparse point symlink parameters reversed
+===================================================
+
+A bug in smbclient caused the 'symlink' command to reverse the
+meaning of the new name and link target parameters when creating a
+reparse point symlink against a Windows server.
+
+This only affects using the smbclient 'symlink' command against
+a Windows server, not a Samba server using the UNIX extensions
+(the parameter order is correct in that case) so no existing
+user scripts that depend on creating symlinks on Samba servers
+need to change.
+
+As this is a little used feature the ordering of these parameters
+has been reversed to match the parameter ordering of the UNIX
+extensions 'symlink' command. This means running 'symlink' against
+both Windows and Samba now uses the same paramter ordering in both
+cases. 
+
+The usage message for this command has also been improved to remove confusion.
