Samba 4.10 Released With Pre-Fork Process Model Improvements, Full Support For Python 3

For those using Samba as the open-source re-implementation of SMB/CIFS and allowing for file/print sharing with Microsoft Windows systems, Samba 4.10 is now available as the project's latest feature release.

Samba 4.10 marks the first release where it has full support for Python 3 finally in place. Python 2 also remains supported but this is expected to be the last Samba release with full support for Python 2. Python 3 will be used by default where present.

Samba 4.10 also has pre-fork improvements, KDC now supporting the pre-fork process model, DCERPC now supports pre-forked NETLOGIN processes, the pre-fork model now restarts failed processes, and other process model improvements.

Samba 4.10 also has GPO improvements, offline domain backups, group membership statistics, JSON logging enhancements, and other changes.
