• A new plugin called pgSMB
• Various bug fixes and other improvements.

Finally the pull request was denied, simply because of its complexity. In fact, I need to migrate 500+ clients in summer, so I decided to go on with my fork and deal with the merge process at a later time. It’s not a personal thing, just a matter of time!

The pGina team requested me to fork there project in order to submit my pgSMB plugin. I’ve learned that’s the way of doing things on Github. I personally see a fork in a different light, but that’s the way it is.
