 =====================
 
 In the time since Samba4 alpha7 was released in Feburary 2009, Samba has
 continued to evolve, but you may particularly notice these areas 
 (in no particular order):
 
- Samba4 now includes the full AD schema, as used in Microsoft Windows 2008
+ Samba4 now includes the full set of user interface strings (display Specifiers) required to
+ have the Microsoft Management Console operate
 
- LDB (the core Samba4 database library) now handles large number of
- users and groups much more efficiently
+ LDB (the core Samba4 database library) has again been reworked for
+ better performance
+
+ Replication between Samba4 and Active Directory domains using the
+ native replication protocol (DRS) has been demonstrated.
+
+ Access Control Lists (in nTSecurityDescriptor) are now set correctly
+ on objects in the directory, based on the same rules as Windows 2008.
+ (Searches and modifications still use a simplistic administrator/not
+ administrator criteria)
