WHATS NEW IN 1.9.17p1 - September 5 1997
========================================
New stable patch release: Samba - version 1.9.17p1.
---------------------------------------------------
This is a patch release which superceedes the
last stable release of Samba, release 1.9.17.
This release fixes the few bugs that users reported
in the previous stable release (1.9.17).
These bugfixes are :
Fix for DOS and Windows 95 clients having trouble
delting files on a Samba share in a DOS command line
environment.
Fixes to set the 'flag' bits correctly when talking to a
non-Samba WINS server.
Fix for NT clients being dropped when using security=server.
Fixes to the printer queue reporting code.
Fix for the name map mangle bug (mangling .html -> .htm was
not working).
If you are not affected by any of these problems then there
is no need to upgrade.
The release notes from the previous stable release follow.
The Samba Team.
-------------Previous release notes-------------------------
New stable release of Samba - 1.9.17
------------------------------------
This is the new stable release of Samba, superceeding
the last stable release 1.9.16p11. All users are
encouraged to upgrade to this new release as there have
been many improvements to the code since that time.
Changes since 1.9.16p11.
------------------------
Improved browsing support.
--------------------------
Samba now should support propagation of browse lists
across subnets correctly. Look in the file docs/BROWSING.txt
as it has been largely re-written to explain how to do this.
*IMPORTANT* All Samba servers acting as local/domain master
browsers must be running 1.9.17 (or later).
Thanks to Silicon Graphics for allowing us to test the new
code on their corporate network.
Improved share mode handling
----------------------------
The handling of share modes has been completely rewritten.
Samba can now run agressive PC Benchmarks (Ziff-Davis
NetBench) correctly with many hundreds of concurrent PC's.
The confidence level on share mode handling in Samba
is now much higher than it was previously. PC database
packages should be safe when run against a Samba share.
Thanks to Silicon Graphics for testing this code for us.
If at all possible compile Samba to use the new share
mode handling with shared memory (set the flags
FAST_SHARE_MODES in the Makefile). This will be *much* faster
than old file-based share modes. FAST_SHARE_MODES have
been turned on by default on the following platforms in
the Makefile :
Linux
Solaris
BSDI
IRIX 5.x.x
FreeBSD
Roving profile support.
-----------------------
Roving profiles are believed to work correctly
with Windows NT 4.x and Windows 95. Domain logons
are fully implemented *for Windows 95 machines only*.
Updated documentation
---------------------
All options are now documented in the smb.conf man page
we believe. Much work has been done by Samba Team members
to improve the quality and quantity of the Samba documentation.
Many bugfixes and improvements
------------------------------
From around the 'net around the world. Many
thanks to everyone who contributed.
Commercial thanks.
------------------
Thanks to Cisco for the new netbios alias code support.
Thanks to Silicon Graphics for the help with the cross
subnet browsing and NetBench code.
Thanks to Whistle for funding one of the Samba Team
members.
Reporting bugs
--------------
The Samba Team believes that this is a stable
production release, but all software has bugs.
If you have problems, or think you have found a
bug please email a report to :
samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au
Stating the version number of Samba that you
are running, and *full details* of the steps
we need to reproduce the problem.
As always, all bugs are our responsibility.
Regards,
The Samba Team.
