 continued to evolve, but you may particularly notice these areas:
 

-  LDAP backend support restored (issues preventing the use of the LDAP
-  backend in alpha4 have been addressed).
-
-  SMB2 Support:  The SMB2 server, while still disabled, has improved,
-  and now supports SMB2 signing. 
-
-  OpenChange support:  Updates have been made since alpha4 to better
-  support OpenChange's use of Samba4's libraries. 
-
-  Faster ldb loading:  A fix to avoid calling 'init_module' (which was
-  not defined by Samba modules, but was by the C library) will fix
-  some of the slowness in authentication. 
-
-  SWAT Remains Disabled: Due to a lack of developer time and without a
-  long-term web developer to maintain it, the SWAT web UI remains been
-  disabled (and would need to be rewritten in python in any case).
-
-  GNU Make: To try and simplfy our build system, we rely on GNU Make
-  to avoid autogenerating a massive single makefile. 
-
+ The source code for various libraries that are used by both Samba 3 and 
+ Samba 4 are now shared between the two rather than duplicated 
+ (and being slightly diverged).

 
 These are just some of the highlights of the work done in the past few
 months.  More details can be found in our GIT history.
