This is a big release that contains many functional changes that are
aligned with the recent work done in the Linux SMB3 kernel client. These
changes mostly aim to improve user experience by unlocking new features
available in modern SMB3 servers:
- smbinfo utility is added to query various kinds of information from
the server (objectId, snapshots, different FileInfo* classes and other
metadata)
- server IP change is supported by expiring DNS key resolver entries
- get/setcifsacl tools are improved to handle unexpected behavior
- share snapshot are allowed to be specified by a GMT token or SMB
100-nanoseconds time
- various new mount option are documented: bsize, handletimeout,
handlecache, rdma, max_credits and others
