-CHANGES SINCE alpha10
+CHANGES SINCE alpha11
 =====================
 
-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. 
+We have continued our commitment to provide a full DRS implementation for our
+AD implementation and therefore achieved also this time big steps forward.
 
 Our progress on DRS is being tracked in the Samba wiki:
 http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4_DRS_TODO_List
 
+Beside this the release includes:
+
+* enhancements in Samba4 winbind to provide a fairly good implementation of the
+most important functions needed by "libnss_winbind" and "pam_winbind"
+The use of this two components allows a user/group mapping for Windows accounts
+on UNIX and UNIX-like systems. Therefore also these accounts can be used to
+connect to services as "ssh", "login", "Xsession" and so on.
+More informations available at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Winbind
+and for winbind in general, "libnss_winbind" and "pam_winbind" in the Samba 3.X
+documentation.
+
+* server side NT ACLs manipulation
+These can now also be set on the command line directly on the server. See
+"net acl" for further informations.
+
+* dynamic DNS updates
+A new DNS upgrade mechanism has been introduced which works with newer bind9
+releases.
+
+* registry improvements
+The registry code was reworked, improved and retested. This was achieved by the
+new torture tests written by gd and some additional testing against Windows
+("regedit" - Windows Registry Editor and "regedt32" - Windows NT Registry Editor).
+Also some real bugs were fixed.
+
+* new Kerberos HEIMDAL release
+Abartlet imported a new release with various bugfixes
+
+* DCE/RPC code unification work
+Metze started his work to unify these codebases between s3 and s4
+
+* And much more
+We always try to fix bugs and keep improving the (source) quality of our
+program.

+Step 2bis: recompile Samba4
+---------------------------
+
+This only applies for those who are recompiling Samba4 after updating the code
+(using "rsync" or "git").
+
+Due to some imperfections in our actual build system (hope that this changes
+soon) it is recommended to perform this after the source upgrade:
+
+  $ cd samba4/source
+  $ make clean
+  $ ./autogen.sh
+  $ ./configure
+  $ make idl_full
+  $ make
+
+Not all the steps are needed every time but doing so makes sure that you won't
+have old compiled objects standing in the way and cause malfunctions.
+It also makes sure that changes in the IDL files are correctly catched up.
