Release Notes for Samba 4.0.10
October 8, 2013
==============================
This is is the latest stable release of Samba 4.0.
Major enhancements in Samba 4.0.10 include:
o NetBIOS related samba process consumes 100% CPU (bug #10158).
o smbd: Clean up share modes after hard crash (bug #10138).
o Fix POSIX ACL mapping when setting DENY ACE's from Windows (bug #10162).
To ease upgrades from Samba 3.6 and older, a new parameter called "acl allow
execute always" has been introduced as a temporary workaround. Please see the
smb.conf man page for details.
