Hi,

To my knowledge it's the last version that's "fully" or close to fully 
working and/or somewhat "validated" to work all others are considered 
WIP . Personally I would be happy with ksmbd (including its limited 
functionality compared to Samba) but that's not really portable at least 
in its current form.

Best regards,
Daniel
