Hello.

Samba 4.13 is out: this obsoletes 4.10 which I'm using widely.

Before I start upgrading all my installations to 4.11 (which has been in 
port tree for a while), I'd welcome a bit of info about the future.
Skipping directly to 4.12 would be a lot better for me, since it would 
mean not upgrading again in a few month. In fact moving in steps of two 
versions is what I've always done (or at least tried to do).

Given the amount of trouble, patching, bug squashing that older version 
required, I'm skeptical this 4.12 port would work out of the box.

Timur: did you have a chance to look into 4.12? Did you notice some 
specific trouble? Do you have a plan to release an official port? Any 
idea when?

Thanks for all your work in any case.
