Hi Zentyal users,
Time has passed since we released the first version of our new zentyal-samba module based on Samba 4.0 alpha18, since then we have done some improvements to the module but even more important, the Samba 4 team has been also working hard releasing new versions with great improvements. Today, we release a new version that integrates Samba 4.0 beta2.
This is the summary of the more important changes since alpha 18:
- Samba4 now integrates the good old Samba3 daemon for the file sharing and printing services, this will provide more stability in these features (new zentyal-printers module is not yet ready, but you can stay tuned because it should be really soon).
- Integration with Logs module is now working
- Recycle Bin feature has been added again
- Guest shares are now working
- Roaming profiles support has been also added
- Allow to choose drive letter to map user home directories
The easiest way to test this is to do a fresh installation of Zentyal 2.3-1 having Internet connection to make sure the latest versions of the packages are downloaded. If you already have a Zentyal 2.3-1 installed, you can stil upgrade the full system to get these new versions using the Software Management module or with apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade in command line.
Please take into account that this is not yet production-ready, you should use it only in testing environments. As usual, your feedback will be really appreciated!
