SAMBA+ 4.15.0 has just been released by SerNet. Packages for various SUSE and Red Hat platforms as well as for Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu and AIX are
available now.
This is the first version of the new Samba 4.15 release series. Please make sure to test thoroughly before upgrading and read the release notes carefully! With this release, the Samba 4.12 release series reaches EOL status (check the Samba Release Planning for further details).
Release notes are available here: https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.15.0.html
Particularly noteworthy is the option "server multi channel support" which is no longer experimental but rather enabled by default in Samba 4.15 (on Linux and FreeBSD). Multi channel support is a topic that Stefan Metzmacher (SerNet GmbH & Samba Core Team) has dedicated himself to, cf. e.g. his presentation at sambaXP 2021 (https://youtu.be/eYxp8yJHpik) and his upcoming talk at SDC 2021.
Details on upgrading to SAMBA+ 4.15 can be found in the SAMBA+ HowTo collection.

The subscriptions are managed at our platform OPOSSO (https://oposso.samba.plus). Users can activate their subscriptions here and manage access credentials.
