similar to: ANNOUNCE: cifs-utils release 5.0 available for download

We've had a number of changes since the last release, and we have some other upcoming kernel changes that might require corresponding cifs-utils changes. So it's probably as good a time as any for a new release. Highlights: + fix for a minor security issue that can corrupt the mtab + new getcifsacl/setcifsacl tools that allow you to fetch and set raw Windows ACLs via an xattr. + a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The last release (4.7) was back in October. We've had a number of good fixes committed in the last few weeks, so it's a good time to cut a new release. Also, note that I've transplanted the cifs-utils manpage to the Samba Wiki. The old URL still works and redirects browsers to the new page. o hardcoded paths in the cifs.upcall manpage

The main changes in this release are moving generation of manpages to .rst format and updating default behavior of the protocol version selection (auto-negotiate). webpage: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils tarball: https://download.samba.org/pub/linux-cifs/cifs-utils/ git: git://git.samba.org/cifs-utils.git gitweb:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Things have been relatively quiet lately. Time for a release! Highlights: * A lot of manpage updates, additions and corrections * cifs.idmap can now map uid/gid to SID in addition to the other way around * getcifsacl/setcifsacl are now installed by default in /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Time for another cifs-utils release! Most of the patches in this release are for cifs.idmap, getcifsacl and setcifsacl. There were many bugs in those tools, so anyone that's deploying or using them is highly encouraged to upgrade. Highlights: * NFS-style device names are being deprecated in 6.0. Anyone using that sort of device name should

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It has been a few months since the last cifs-utils release. There hasn't been much activity, but there are a few bugfixes that we ought to get into a release. So, nothing much earth-shattering here, mostly just bugfixes and documentation updates. With this release too, support for NFS-style devicenames has now been removed (as previously

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Time for a new cifs-utils release! The big bullet point in this release is a new pam_cifscreds module that has been added by Orion Poplawski. This release also cleans some unused cruft out of some of the binaries so they're quite a bit smaller now and fixes a few bugs that Coverity turned up. Go forth and download! webpage:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With the overhaul of the cifscreds utility, I figured this would be a good time to do a new release. Highlights: * admins can now tell cifs.upcall to use an alternate krb5.conf file * on remount, mount.cifs no longer adds a duplicate mtab entry * the cifscreds utility has seen a major overhaul to allow for multiuser mounts without krb5 auth

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Time for another cifs-utils release! Highlights: * binaries are now built by default with PIE and RELRO support for better protection against exploits * better debugging and warnings for cifs.upcall and cifscreds * better integration with systemd by having mount.cifs use systemd-ask-password if it's appropriate and available webpage:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Nothing terribly earth-shattering in this release. We had a number of reports of build-breaking problems in version 5.4, mostly due to the fact that we now turn on -Werror by default, and a number of patches to fix them. I'm starting to have doubts as to whether it's a good idea to keep - -Werror in the default CFLAGS. This is built in a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With the merge of the new plugin interface, it's probably a good time for a new cifs-utils release. Distro packagers should take special note of the changes with the new plugin interface since it has implications for how the tools are packaged. In particular, it's necessary to set a symlink to the plugin in the correct location
