# SMB3 Advanced Features Implementation Plan

## Overview
This document outlines the implementation plan for advanced SMB3 features that are currently not implemented in JCIFS. These features are essential for enterprise-grade SMB3 support, providing enhanced performance, reliability, and scalability.

## Implementation Phases

### Phase 1: SMB3 Lease Implementation (Foundation)

   - Keep PRs focused—one feature or fix. Split large changes into multiple PRs.

3. **Testing**:
   - Include unit tests for new functionality or bug fixes.
   - Ensure existing tests pass (`make test`).
   - Document testing steps in the PR summary if manual testing was performed.

4. **Before Submitting**:
   - Run `make verify` to check formatting, linting, and tests.
   - Reference related issues (e.g., “Closes #1234”).

# Introduction

This document outlines how to make hotfix binaries and containers for MinIO?. The main focus in this article is about how to backport patches to a specific branch and finally building binaries/containers.

## Pre-pre requisite

- A working knowledge of MinIO codebase and its various components.
- A working knowledge of AWS S3 API behaviors and corner cases.

## Pre-requisite for backporting any fixes
