################ History Change logs ##############

FreeNAS 0.7:
------------

Majors changes:
- Upgrade to FreeBSD 7.0 (thanks to Nelson Silva, Alias fulgas, for the clog patch)

Minors changes:

Feature removed:
- Formatting drive in FAT32 and EXT2 filesystem
- Creating gvinum drive (but still support existing gvinum drive)
- Change lighttpd server.max-write-idle to 1800 seconds (permit long fsck from the webGUI)

Bug fixes:

Permanent restrictions:
- It is not possible to format a SoftRAID disk with MSDOS FAT16/32.
- It is not possible to encrypt a disk partition, only complete disks are supported.

Known bugs:
- If DHCP for IPv4 is used, the IPv6 statically configured DNS server will be overriden by the IPv4 DNS server.

NEED TESTING:
- IPv6: auto mode
- All services using IPv6 address (NFS, FTP, etc...)
- Netatalk VFS Samba module (automatically enabled when Netatalk starts) crashes samba when accesing to share
- Need to write an online-test procedure

Help needed:
- Need help for adding LDAP authentication feature:
Main services can be easily authenticated using PAM-LDAP, but is harder for Samba.
