+ WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0
+ September 24, 2003
==============================
-This is the third release candidate snapshot of Samba 3.0.0. A release
-candidate implies that the code is very close to a final release, remember
-that this is still a non-production release intended for testing purposes.
-Use at your own risk.
-
-The purpose of this release candidate is to get wider testing of the major
-new pieces of code in the current Samba 3.0 development tree.
-Please refer to the section on "Known Issues" for more details.
+This is the first official release of Samba 3.0.0 code base. Work
+on the SAMBA_3_0 CVS branch continues. Please refer to the section
+on "Known Issues" for more details.
Major new features:
join a ADS realm as a member server and authenticate

- internally there is now a much better infrastructure for multi-byte
- and UNICODE character sets.

- been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are internal,
- but the new auth system is also very configurable.

-Changes since 3.0rc2
+Changes since 3.0rc4
####################
Please refer to the CVS log for the SAMBA_3_0 branch for complete
details:
+1) Fix bug that prevented restoring filenames of length
+ >100 characters.
+2) Fix bug that prevented fast path code in strchr_m
+ from being used.
+3) Make sure we store the desired access flag on incoming
+ SAMR rpc calls.
+4) Fix smbd crash when dealing with mangled file names.
+5) Ensure that the group comment field is not overwritten
+ if it already exists.
+6) Fix bug that prevented 'net rpc join' from working
+ with mixed mode AD domains (bug 442).
+7) Fix crash in smbd when a Samba PDC is not able to
+ enumerate trusted domains (bug 450).
+8) Fix crash bug found by the Samba4 testsuite.
+9) Fix bug that prevented smbd from returning an ACL list
+ if one of the SIDs could not be resolved (bug 470).
+10) Remove -P option from smbclient printing scripts since it
+ has a different meaning in Samba 3.0 (bug 473).
+11) Sync smbldap-tools with latest version
+12) Cleanup some warnings produced by the Sun C compiler.
+13) Several fixes for SWAT relating to international character
+ sets.
+
+
+Changes since 3.0rc3
+####################
+
+1) Fix incorrect error message in testparm.c regarding 'map system'.
+2) Protect against core dump if ioctl for print job sends invalid
+ fid.
+3) Fix bug in generic hash cacluation.
+4) Remove references to unused 'strip dot' parameter
+5) Fix CPU burn bug in multi-byte character conversion.
+6) Use opt_target_workgroup instead of lp_workgroup() in vampire
+ code so we can override the value in smb.conf with the -w option.
+7) Display an error if we can't create a posix account for the
+ user when running 'net rpc vampire' (bug 323).
+8) Fix UTF8 conversion bugs in LDAP passdb and idmap code (bug 296).
+9) Fix smbd crash when changing the machine trust account password
+ (bug 273).
+10) Remove getpwnam() calls from init_sam_from_xxx(). This means
+ that %u & %g will no longer expand in the "login ..." set of
+ smb.conf options, but %U and %G still do. The payback is that
+ winbindd local accounts for users work with 'wbinfo -u'
+ when winbind is running on a Samba PDC.
+11) Fix unitiailized timestamp where merging print_jobs and
+ lpq listing.
+12) Fix bug in debian packaging files affecting non-i386 platforms.
+
