Major changes in beta 6 |
| 83 |
|
======================= |
| 84 |
|
The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling |
| 85 |
|
reasons not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they |
| 86 |
|
want because of the Samba and PHP versions constituted a compelling |
| 87 |
|
reason. |
| 88 |
|
|
| 89 |
|
Samba 3x: |
| 90 |
|
The Samba packages have reverted to those provided by CentOS to simplify |
| 91 |
|
the support needed. This version of samba provides support for Windows 7 |
| 92 |
|
domain logins. |
