Release Announcements
=====================

This is the first pre release of Samba 4.25.  This is *not*
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
purposes only.  Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.

Samba 4.25 will be the next version of the Samba suite.


UPGRADING
=========


NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================

JSON Audit logging
------------------

The two leading spaces before the opening '{' on JSON audit log lines have been
removed. And any embedded new line characters '\n' are converted to spaces.

Domain encryption types changed to AES by default
-------------------------------------------------

The default value of the smb.conf option ‘kdc default domain supported enctypes’
now corresponds to ‘aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96 aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96’ (both AES
encryption types) if the domain functional level is 2008 or higher. This
addresses CVE-2026-20833.
