+<p>Samba 3.0.20pre2 is the second preview release of the Samba 3.0.20
+code base (fourth if you count 3.0.15pre1 - 2) and
+is provided for testing only. This release is <em>not</em> intended
+for production servers. There has been a substantial amount
+of development since the 3.0.14a production release. We would like
+to ask the Samba
+community for help in testing these changes as we work towards
+the next official, production Samba 3.0 release. It is strongly
+recommended that you read the
+<a href="/samba/ftp/pre/WHATSNEW-3-0-20pre2.txt">changes in this
+preview release</a> to learn about smb.conf changes, new features,
+etc... This is the last anticipated preview release before
+moving on to the Release Candidate state.</p>
+
+<p><em>So what happened to 3.0.15 trough 3.0.19?</em> After some
+discussion it was deemed that the amount of changes
+going into the next Samba 3.0 release needed something to catch
+people's attention. Skipping several releases was chosen as
+the best solution with the least overhead. There will be no
+3.0.15 - 3.0.19 ever released. The next production release
+following 3.0.20 should be 3.0.21. You can also read the
