Release Announcements
=====================
This is the first preview release of Samba 4.4. This is *not*
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
Samba 4.4 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
UPGRADING
=========
Nothing special.
NEW FEATURES
============
Flush requests from SMB2/3 clients are handled asynchronously and do
not block the processing of other requests. Note that 'strict sync'
has to be set to 'yes' for Samba to honor flush requests from SMB
clients.
WINS nsswitch module
====================
The WINS nsswitch module has been rewritten to address memory issues and to
simplify the code. The module now uses libwbclient to do WINS queries. This
means that winbind needs to be running in order to resolve WINS names using
the nss_wins module. This does not affect smbd.

Changes
#######
smb.conf changes
----------------
Parameter Name Description Default
-------------- ----------- -------
aio max threads New 100
CTDB changes
------------
* CTDB now uses a newly implemented parallel database recovery scheme
that avoids deadlocks with smbd.
In certain circumstances CTDB and smbd could deadlock. The new
recovery implementation avoid this. It also provides improved
recovery performance.
* All files are now installed into and referred to by the paths
configured at build time. Therefore, CTDB will now work properly
when installed into the default location at /usr/local.
* Public CTDB header files are no longer installed, since Samba and
CTDB are built from within the same source tree.
* CTDB_DBDIR can now be set to tmpfs[:<tmpfs-options>]
This will cause volatile TDBs to be located in a tmpfs. This can
help to avoid performance problems associated with contention on the
disk where volatile TDBs are usually stored. See ctdbd.conf(5) for
more details.
* Configuration variable CTDB_NATGW_SLAVE_ONLY is no longer used.
Instead, nodes should be annotated with the "slave-only" option in
the CTDB NAT gateway nodes file. This file must be consistent
across nodes in a NAT gateway group. See ctdbd.conf(5) for more
details.
* New event script 05.system allows various system resources to be
monitored
This can be helpful for explaining poor performance or unexpected
behaviour. New configuration variables are
CTDB_MONITOR_FILESYSTEM_USAGE, CTDB_MONITOR_MEMORY_USAGE and
CTDB_MONITOR_SWAP_USAGE. Default values cause warnings to be
logged. See the SYSTEM RESOURCE MONITORING CONFIGURATION in
ctdbd.conf(5) for more information.
The memory, swap and filesystem usage monitoring previously found in
00.ctdb and 40.fs_use is no longer available. Therefore,
configuration variables CTDB_CHECK_FS_USE, CTDB_MONITOR_FREE_MEMORY,
CTDB_MONITOR_FREE_MEMORY_WARN and CTDB_CHECK_SWAP_IS_NOT_USED are
now ignored.
* The 62.cnfs eventscript has been removed. To get a similar effect
just do something like this:
mmaddcallback ctdb-disable-on-quorumLoss \
--command /usr/bin/ctdb \
--event quorumLoss --parms "disable"
mmaddcallback ctdb-enable-on-quorumReached \
--command /usr/bin/ctdb \
--event quorumReached --parms "enable"
* The CTDB tunable parameter EventScriptTimeoutCount has been renamed
to MonitorTimeoutCount
It has only ever been used to limit timed-out monitor events.
Configurations containing CTDB_SET_EventScriptTimeoutCount=<n> will
cause CTDB to fail at startup. Useful messages will be logged.
* The commandline option "-n all" to CTDB tool has been removed.
The option was not uniformly implemented for all the commands.
Instead of command "ctdb ip -n all", use "ctdb ip all".
* All CTDB current manual pages are now correctly installed
KNOWN ISSUES
============
Currently none.

Reporting bugs & Development Discussion
#######################################
Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by
joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
If you do report problems then please try to send high quality
feedback. If you don't provide vital information to help us track down
the problem then you will probably be ignored. All bug reports should
be filed under the Samba 4.3 product in the project's Bugzilla
database (https://bugzilla.samba.org/).
