UPGRADING @@ -16,72 +16,6 @@ UPGRADING NEW FEATURES/CHANGES ==================== -More succinct samba-tool error messages ---------------------------------------- - -Historically samba-tool has reported user error or misconfiguration by -means of a Python traceback, showing you where in its code it noticed -something was wrong, but not always exactly what is amiss. Now it -tries harder to identify the true cause and restrict its output to -describing that. Particular cases include: - - * a username or password is incorrect - * an ldb database filename is wrong (including in smb.conf) - * samba-tool dns: various zones or records do not exist - * samba-tool ntacl: certain files are missing - * the network seems to be down - * bad --realm or --debug arguments - -Accessing the old samba-tool messages -------------------------------------- - -This is not new, but users are reminded they can get the full Python -stack trace, along with other noise, by using the argument '-d3'. -This may be useful when searching the web. - -The intention is that when samba-tool encounters an unrecognised -problem (especially a bug), it will still output a Python traceback. -If you encounter a problem that has been incorrectly identified by -samba-tool, please report it on https://bugzilla.samba.org. - -Colour output with samba-tool --color -------------------------------------- - -For some time a few samba-tool commands have had a --color=yes|no|auto -option, which determines whether the command outputs ANSI colour -codes. Now all samba-tool commands support this option, which now also -accepts 'always' and 'force' for 'yes', 'never' and 'none' for 'no', -and 'tty' and 'if-tty' for 'auto' (this more closely matches -convention). With --color=auto, or when --color is omitted, colour -codes are only used when output is directed to a terminal. - -Most commands have very little colour in any case. For those that -already used it, the defaults have changed slightly. - - * samba-tool drs showrepl: default is now 'auto', not 'no' - - * samba-tool visualize: the interactions between --color-scheme, - --color, and --output have changed slightly. When --color-scheme is - set it overrides --color for the purpose of the output diagram, but - not for other output like error messages. - -No colour with NO_COLOR environment variable --------------------------------------------- - -With both samba-tool --color=auto (see above) and some other places -where we use ANSI colour codes, the NO_COLOR environment variable will -disable colour output. See https://no-color.org/ for a description of -this variable. `samba-tool --color=always` will use colour regardless -of NO_COLOR. - -New wbinfo option --change-secret-at ------------------------------------- - -The wbinfo command has a new option, --change-secret-at=<DOMAIN CONTROLLER> -which forces the trust account password to be changed at a specified domain -controller. If the specified domain controller cannot be contacted the -password change fails rather than trying other DCs. - REMOVED FEATURES ================ @@ -97,7 +31,7 @@ smb.conf changes KNOWN ISSUES ============ -https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Release_Planning_for_Samba_4.18#Release_blocking_bugs +https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Release_Planning_for_Samba_4.19#Release_blocking_bugs ####################################### |
