-    <p>Samba 3.0.15pre2 is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.15 code base and
+    <p>Samba 3.0.20pre1 is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.20 code base and
        is provided for testing only.  This release is <em>not</em> intended
-       for production servers.  However, there have been several bug
-       fixes and new features added since 3.0.14a that we feel are
-       important to make available to the Samba community for wider
-       testing.  There are still more changes planned before the
-       final 3.0.15 release.  Please read about the important <a

+       for production servers.  There has been a substantial amount
+       of development since the 3.0.14a stable release (and since the
+       3.015pre2 release as well).  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-3-0-20pre1.txt">changes in this
+       preview release</a> to learn about smb.conf changes, new features,
+       etc...</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
