Someone higher than myself will have to answer this.
I can only tell you as far as what plans are for 2.2.0.
We seriously hope to have this out in the next few
months. Would love to have it out by mid August.
I can't make that call though. Maybe looking
into September.
What will be in 2.2.0?
- rewritten locking semantics
- TDB support for various internals databases
- merged rpcclient from TNG
- Support for Windows NT point and print
features (automatic print driver install)
- consolidation of printer driver management
methods for Windows 95/98 and NT
- support for storing accounts in LDAP (this one
is the sketchiest right now)
Probably some other things I have forgotten, but the
above list is a good starting point.
Cheers,
jerry
