>+samba-tool improvements add contacts as member to groups
>+--------------------------------------------------------
>+
>+Previously "samba-tool group addmemers" can just add users, groups and
>+computers as members to groups. But also contacts can be members of
>+groups. Samba 4.12 adds the functionality to add contacts to
>+groups. Since contacts have no sAMAccountName, it's possible that
>+there are more than one contact with the same name in different
>+organizational units. Therefore it's necessary to have an option to
>+handle group members by their DN.
>+
>+To get the DN of an object there is now the --full-dn option available
>+for all necessary commands.
>+
>+The MS Windows UI allows to search for specific types of group members
>+when searching for new members for a group. This feature is included
>+here with the new samba-tool group addmembers --object-type=OBJECTYPE
>+option. The different types are selected accordingly to the Windows
>+UI. The default samba-toole behaviour shouldn't be changed.
>+
>+Allow filtering by OU or subtree in samba-tool
>+----------------------------------------------
>+
>+A new --base-dn and --member-base-dn option is added to relevant
>+samba-tool user, group and ou management commands to allow operation
>+on just one part of the AD tree, such as a single OU.
