-  Group Policy Support:  Basic group policies may be defined, and are
-  enforced by Windows clients
-
   MMC Support:  The Active Directory Users and Computers console now

-  Winbind:  Kai Blin has been working hard on his Google Summer of
-  Code project, creating a winbind implementation for Samba4.
+  member/memberOf:  These and other linked attributes are now kept in
+  sync
 
-  Heimdal update:  A Heimdal 1.0 snapshot is now included as the
-  internal Kerberos library in Samba4.
+  subtree renames: Renaming a subtree of LDAP objects is now possible,
+  with all linked attributes being kept consistant.
 
-  In the past few weeks, many small but significant bugs have been
-  fixed, particularly thanks to Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer <mwallnoefer at yahoo.de>
+  Python Bindings:  Bindings for a future move to python as the
+  internal scripting language have been created. 
 
+  Shared library use:  In support of projects such as OpenChange,
+  which depend on Samba4, more of Samba4 is built as shared libraries.
+
 These are just some of the highlights of the work done in the past few
 months.  More details can be found in our SVN history.
