-CHANGES SINCE alpha8
+CHANGES SINCE alpha9
 =====================
 
-In the time since Samba4 alpha8 was released in June 2009, Samba has
-continued to evolve, but you may particularly notice these areas 
-(in no particular order):
-
- Samba4 now includes the full set of user interface strings (display Specifiers)
- required to have the Microsoft Management Console operate
-
- LDB (the core Samba4 database library) has again been reworked for
- better performance
-
- Replication between Samba4 and Active Directory domains using the
- native replication protocol (DRS) has been demonstrated.
-
- Access Control Lists (in nTSecurityDescriptor) are now set correctly
- on objects in the directory, based on the same rules as Windows 2008.
- (Searches and modifications still use a simplistic administrator/not
- administrator criteria)
-
-These are just some of the user-visible highlights of the work done in
-the past few months.  More details of the work done 'under the hood'
-can be found in our GIT history.

+Alpha9 was released last week, but in the time since the release we
+have found and fixed an important segfault, and improved the
