+Password sync as active directory domain controller
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+The new commands 'samba-tool user getpassword'
+and 'samba-tool user syncpasswords' provide
+access and syncing of various password fields.
+
+If compiled with GPGME support (--with-gpgme) it's
+possible to store cleartext passwords in a PGP/OpenGPG
+encrypted form by configuring the new "password hash gpg key ids"
+option. This requires gpgme devel and python packages to be installed
+(e.g. libgpgme11-dev and python-gpgme on debian/ubuntu).
