Samba 4.22.7 released
Samba 4.22.7 has been released. This latest stable update primarily tackles bugs reported by users.
Ralph Boehme resolved an issue that broke Time Machine compatibility. Another key change addresses Spotlight searching; it now correctly understands numerical search terms. Günther Deschner provided a fix for winbind cache consistency, ensuring this part of the system works right as expected.
Pavel Filipenský made improvements to vfs_recycle, specifically enhancing how file timestamps update when files are moved or deleted via Samba. Over on the technical side, Volker Lendecke and Anoop C. S worked together to resolve an assertion error in vfswrap_openat.
Andreas Schneider also chipped in significantly. His fixes touch several areas including problems with printer shares (specifically finding them) and issues related to Winbind hanging due to network troubles. He even updated the documentation for samba-bgqd recently.
Martin Schwenke resolved two important things: a crash when updating IP addresses inside ctdb and a required link setup for libldb on some Linux systems.
