Samba 4.3 Release Brings OS X Spotlight Support To GNOME & Much More
Samba 4.3.0 was announced today as the newest stable version of this open-source software for interacting with the SMB/CIFS networking protocol for Windows file/print sharing.
Samba 4.3 new features include support for logging to multiple back-ends, support for Apple' Spotlight has been added to integrate with GNOME Tracker, and there's a new FileChangeNotify subsystem. As implied by its name, the FileChangeNotify subsystem is a daemon for notifying on file changes and should work out better than its old design. The Samba OS X Spotlight support makes use of GNOME Tracker as a search engine, search tool, and meta-data storage system.
Samba 4.3 also has new profiling code, dropped NTDB library support, improved support for trusted domains, new smbclient sub-commands, improves sparse file support, improved cross-compiling support, and other changes.
More details on the many new features of Samba 4.3 can be found via the release notes.
