14 DAY TRIAL // Samba 4.1.0 RC2, an app that seamlessly integrates Linux/Unix servers and desktops into Active Directory environments using the winbind daemon, is now available for testing.
According to the developers, this latest version introduces a number of improvements to the Btrfs filesystem and to the directory replication.
More details about this release can be found in the official announcement.
As usual, every new release of the Samba branch includes all of Samba's technology parts, both a file server, which can be upgraded from existing Samba 3.x releases, and the AD domain controller previously known as “samba4.” This means that previous versions of Samba will be compatible with the newest releases.
