+In the time since Samba4 Alpha5 was released in June 2008, Samba has
continued to evolve, but you may particularly notice these areas:
- LDAP backend support restored (issues preventing the use of the LDAP
- backend in alpha4 have been addressed).
-
- SMB2 Support: The SMB2 server, while still disabled, has improved,
- and now supports SMB2 signing.
-
- OpenChange support: Updates have been made since alpha4 to better
- support OpenChange's use of Samba4's libraries.
-
- Faster ldb loading: A fix to avoid calling 'init_module' (which was
- not defined by Samba modules, but was by the C library) will fix
- some of the slowness in authentication.
-
- SWAT Remains Disabled: Due to a lack of developer time and without a
- long-term web developer to maintain it, the SWAT web UI remains been
- disabled (and would need to be rewritten in python in any case).
-
- GNU Make: To try and simplfy our build system, we rely on GNU Make
- to avoid autogenerating a massive single makefile.

+ The source code for various libraries that are used by both Samba 3 and

These are just some of the highlights of the work done in the past few
months. More details can be found in our GIT history.
