+Off-line Logons and AD Site Support
+===================================
 
+Winbind's capability to support offline logons has been greatly
+improved with the 3.0.25 release including support for locating 
+domain controllers asynchronously using Active Directory Site
+information.
+
+
+New IdMap Interface for Winbindd
+================================
+
+The 3.0.25 release of Samba will include a rewritten IdMap interface
+for winbindd which replaces the "idmap backend" parameter.  The
+initial design document may be found at
+
+	http://www.samba.org/~idra/samba3_newidmap.pdf
+
+The final 3.0.25 release will include full documentation in the
+distributed manpages.
+
+
+Dynamic DNS Updates
+===================
+
+The "net ads join" command is now able to register the host's DNS A
+records with Windows 2000 SP4 and 2003 DNS servers.  This 
+feature must be enabled at compile time using the --with-dnsupdate 
+when running the ./configure script.  There is also a related "net ads 
+dns" command for refreshing a host's records which could be launched
+from a dhcp client script when a new IP address is obtained.
+
+
+Support for Additional ACL Modules
+==================================
+
+Samba's POSIX ACL support has been moved inside of the VFS layer 
+which means it is now possible to support multiple ACL implementations
+on the same server including NFSv3 and GPFS ACLs.
