Release Announcements
---------------------

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
