Updated: As expected, Samba 3.6 with SMB2 support was released today.

The software —  a file, print and authentication server suite for Windows client — also features improved printing, identity mapping and cluster file server support.  It is the leading open source solution for Linux and UNIX platforms and embedded Network Attached Storage solutions.

Dubbed the first free SMB2 server, Samba issued this statement on its release:

"Samba 3.6 includes the first Free Software implementation of
Microsoft's new SMB2 file serving protocol. SMB2 within Samba is
implemented with a brand new asynchronous server architecture,
allowing Samba to display the performance enhancements SMB2 brings to
Microsoft networking technology.

Samba's new SMB2 server has been tested by major vendors and has been
able to double the performance of some network applications when run
in conjunction with Microsoft Windows 7 clients.

Just because you don't care doesn't that mean no one else does either.

@Cynical99 A tool used to communicate with the most common operating system client cannot be considered "highly specialized."

This is a big win for interoperability between Windows 2008 (R1/R2) and Linux servers.
