Samba 4.20.8 has been released. This update resolves multiple issues, such as winbindd exhibiting a memory leak in kerberos_decode_pac, the creation of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) applicable to multiple groups, the ldb index cache being insufficient for known large transactions, vfs_gpfs improperly handling timestamps, and spotlight search results failing to display file size and creation date.

The release also resolves issues related to Windows Explorer crashes on S-1-22-* Unix-SIDs when accessing the security tab, the absence of NETLOGON_NTLMV2_ENABLED in the SamLogon* user_flags field, and the incorrect FSF address in ctdb pcp scripts.
