                      === SSSD 1.11 beta 2 ===

The SSSD team is proud to announce the second beta release of version 1.11
of the System Security Services Daemon.

This pre-release does not bring substantial changes visible to the end-user. It
is intended to be part of the development of FreeIPA 3.3 and its focus of
supporting legacy (non-SSSD) clients in a setup where IPA server established
a trust relationship with an Active Directory clients.

A Fedora Test Day aimed at exercising the new features is planned for July
25th. See the Test Day page for more information:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-07-25_AD_trusts_with_POSIX_attributes_in_AD_and_support_for_old_clients

As always, the source is available from https://fedorahosted.org/sssd.

== Feedback ==

Please provide comments, bugs and other feedback via the sssd-devel or
sssd-users mailing lists:
    https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-devel
    https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-users

== Highlights ==
 * Includes several fixes related to setup where the SSSD is running on
   IPA client in a special "server mode".
 * The default DNS timeouts have been tweaked in order to allow the c-ares
   resolver to cycle through all available name servers
 * The pysss module now contains a new method `getgroupslist` that provides
   a Python interface to the POSIX `getgroupslist(3)` call
 * The sss_debuglevel tool is now able to change debug level of all
   responders, including PAC or autofs

    pysss module linking is broken

== Documentation Changes ==
* The dns_resolver_timeout option default value was changed from 5
  to 6 seconds. At the same time, the timeout that controls how long the
  internal resolver communicates with a single DNS server was changed to
  2 seconds. This change would allow the resolver to cycle through up to 3
  nameservers until the `dns_resolver_timeout` fires.
* the sss_cache utility gained a new option -E. This option is a
  shortcut to tell sss_cache to invalidate all entries in the cache. Please
  note that invalidating sudo rules is still not implemented as it requires
  cooperation with the back end as well.

== Detailed Changelog ==
This changelog does not include commits already released in 1.10.1
release. To see all changes since 1.11 beta2, run:
