 =====================
 
 In the time since Samba4 Alpha5 was released in June 2008, Samba has

+continued to evolve, but you may particularly notice these areas 
+(in no particular order):
 
  The source code for various libraries that are used by both Samba 3 and 
  Samba 4 are now shared between the two rather than duplicated 
  (and being slightly diverged).
 
+ The tevent library has been split out and is now usable on its own.
+
+ Several crash bugs and memory leaks in the registry library have been fixed.
+
+ The Python modules have been extended and are no longer generated using SWIG.
+
+ Stream renames are now supported.
+
+ The provision script now has an interactive mode.
+
+ The (broken) copy of CTDB has been removed.
+
+ More work towards supporting an OpenLDAP backend. 
+
+ Initial work on using the Microsoft LDAP schema.
+
+ The storage of schemas in LDB is now much more efficient.
+
+ Support for extended DNs in LDB has been added.
+
+ Incoming trusts are now supported.
+
+ Compatibility of the registry server with several Windows versions has been 
+ improved.
+
+ Improvements to LSA.idl for better functionality in the usrmgr.exe.
+
+ Improved handling of non-standard characters in passwords.
+
+ The embedded JavaScript library has been removed in favor of Python.
+
+ The WMI implementation has been re-added, but does not completely work yet.
+
+ xpress compression is now supported in the NDR layer.
+
+ The main binary is now named "samba" rather than "smbd".
+
+ A simple script for setting the expiration of a user was added.
+
+ It is now possible to use the system-installed Heimdal using the 
+ experimental --enable-external-heimdal option to configure.
+
+ The LDB library is now completely asynchronous internally.
+
+ Various unknowns and correctness issues in the drsblobs and drsuapi RPC 
+ interface implementations have been fixed.
+
+ It is now possible to connect to an LDAP backend using SASL credentials.
+
+ Multi-fragment NTtrans request support has been added.
+
+ The DCE/RPC server can now listen on a separate pipe to allow DCE/RPC 
+ connections forwarded from Samba 3. The user credentials are provided 
+ by the client.
+
+ A large number of bugs in the SMB2 implementation have been fixed.
+
+ Auxiliary classes in LDAP schema conversion are now collapsed.
+
 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.
