-CHANGES SINCE alpha9
+CHANGES SINCE alpha10
 =====================
 
-Alpha9 was released last week, but in the time since the release we
-have found and fixed an important segfault, and improved the
-experimental DRS replication. 
+Since the alpha10 release, we have fixed a number of serious bugs in
+the implementation of AD-compatible 'Directory Replication Services'.
+We can now join an AD domain as a read-write DC
+
+Importantly, since alpha10, the following serious issues were
+addressed:
+ - We now allocate RID values safely (previous implementations would
+ add users and groups without regard to allocated RID pools, possibly
+ creating duplicates)
+ - In previous Samba4 versions, a failure to 'prepare' a transaction
+ would silently commit the transaction. 
+
+Any deployments of Samba4 before this alpha are very strongly
+encouraged to upgrade.  Assistance may be found in the
+upgradeprovision script, and the advice of the Samba Team should be
+sought to determine the impact of these issues in your particular
+deployment. 
+
+Our progress on DRS is being tracked in the Samba wiki:
