+ WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0.0 RC1
+ August 15 2003
==============================
-This is the third beta release of Samba 3.0.0. This is a
-non-production release intended for testing purposes. Use
-at your own risk.
+This is the first 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 beta release is to get wider testing of the major
-new pieces of code in the current Samba 3.0 development tree. We have
-officially ceased development on the 2.2.x release of Samba and are
-concentrating on Samba 3.0. To reduce the time before the final
-Samba 3.0 release we need as many people as possible to start testing
-these beta releases, and to provide high quality feedback on what
-needs fixing.
-
-Samba 3.0 is feature complete. However there is still some final
-work to be done on certain pieces of functionality. Please refer to
-the section on "Known Issues" for more details.
