+## 3.0.0 (February 10, 2024)
+
+**Features:**
+
+This is a major release after a long while. The main reason for not being able to create a new release was two folds.
+Firstly, the `pdk` in the latest releases has become almost unworkable (maybe it is my lack of understanding, but I do 
+not have the time commitment required to keep up with what is going on in there!). The second is the tests for this module 
+that were largely dependent on [TravisCI](https://app.travis-ci.com/github/rehanone/puppet-samba?serverType=git) which has 
+not been very kind to free and open source project of late. Without the ability to run any kind of tests, it was impossible 
+to merge further changes.
+
+Well, most of that has been addressed to some extent in this release by very generous work of [bschonec](https://github.com/bschonec) 
+over the past few weeks. One of the main changes in this release is [#43](https://github.com/rehanone/puppet-samba/pull/43). 
+Not all integration tests are fully migrated yet but this is a good starting point.
+
+Other notable changes in this release are:
+
+- Adding obey pam restrictions param. ([#36](https://github.com/rehanone/puppet-samba/pull/36); [welchnut](https://github.com/welchnut))
+- Change ntlm_auth variable to a Variant and change its default value. ([#40](https://github.com/rehanone/puppet-samba/pull/40); [bschonec](https://github.com/bschonec))
+- Add parameter descriptions to the class modules. ([#48](https://github.com/rehanone/puppet-samba/pull/48); [bschonec](https://github.com/bschonec))
+- Other minor changes.
