Major changes in beta 6 |
Major changes in RC 1 |
83 |
======================= |
===================== |
84 |
The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling |
* No major changes were introduced for RC 1 |
|
reasons not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they |
|
|
want because of the Samba and PHP versions constituted a compelling |
|
|
reason. |
|
|
|
|
|
Samba 3x: |
|
|
The Samba packages have reverted to those provided by CentOS to simplify |
|
|
the support needed. This version of samba provides support for Windows 7 |
|
|
domain logins. |
