When is network browsing supported again?

Well adding the browselist and browseable options enabled did not change a
thing. Look:

:>smbclient4 -N -L 192.168.1.2

        Sharename       Type       Comment
        ---------       ----       -------
        IPC$            IPC        IPC Service (ubuntuserver server (Samba,
Ubuntu))
        backup          Disk       Backup share.
        public          Disk       Publieke share.
        sbon            Disk       Prive share sbon.
        print$          Disk       Printer Drivers
REWRITE: list servers not implemented

so still the servers are not listed.

Version client tool:

smbclient4 -V
Version 4.2.0pre1-GIT-9423d5a

while the version three:

smbclient -N -L 192.168.1.2
Domain=[BONONLINE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.9]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (ubuntuserver server (Samba,
Ubuntu))
        backup          Disk      Backup share.
        public          Disk      Publieke share.
        sbon            Disk      Prive share sbon.
        print$          Disk      Printer Drivers
Domain=[BONONLINE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.9]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        UBUNTUSERVER         ubuntuserver server (Samba, Ubuntu)

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        BONONLINE            UBUNTUSERVER

So the server list is not there using a git version.
What causes this? Is it a auth. problem?
