+UPGRADING
+=========
+Nothing special.
-Internal Winbind passdb changes
--------------------------------
+NEW FEATURES
+============
-Winbind has been changed to use the internal samr and lsa rpc pipe to get
-local user and group information instead of calling passdb functions. The
-reason is to use more of our infrastructure and test this infrastructure by
-using it. With this approach more code in Winbind is shared.
+WINS nsswitch module
+====================
+The WINS nsswitch module has been rewritten to address memory issues and to
+simplify the code. The module now uses libwbclient to do WINS queries. This
+means that winbind needs to be running in order to resolve WINS names using
+the nss_wins module. This does not affect smbd.
