 ## Changes
 
+##### Version 1.1
  * Updated to use the latest version of the [JCIFS](https://github.com/codelibs/jcifs) library
  * SMB2 (2.02 protocol level) support, some SMB3 support
 
+##### Version 1.2
+ * Ability to set the SMB min/max versions in the `SmbSessionFactory` via configuration in the JCIFS library

 ## Overview
 
 The Java CIFS Client Library has been chosen as a Java implementation for the CIFS/SMB networking protocol.

 There is no (yet) some SMB specific requirements for files transferring to SMB, so for XML `<int-smb:outbound-channel-adapter>` component we simply reuse an existing `FileTransferringMessageHandler`.
 In case of Java configuration that `FileTransferringMessageHandler` should be supplied with the `SmbSessionFactory` (or `SmbRemoteFileTemplate`).
