-------------------------------------------------
-
-Samba now contains a *VERY* experimental client and

-member).
-
-This code is not enabled in the Makefile by default,

-Please note that as this code is not complete,

-to allow interested parties to contribute and help

-Please do not expect to be able to replace your
-NT Domain Controllers with Samba until this code
-is finished, tested and an announcement is made.

+The old nmbd that has caused some users problems
+has now been completely re-written and now is
+much easier to maintain and add changes to.
+
+Changes include support for multi-homed hosts
+in the same way as an NT Server with multiple
+IP interfaces behaves (registers with the WINS
+server as a multi-homed name type), and also
+support for multi-homed name registration in
+the Samba WINS server. Another added feature
+is robustness in the face of WINS server failure,
+nmbd will now keep trying to contact the WINS 
+server until it is successful, in the same
+way as an NT Server.
+
+Also in this release is an implementation
+of the Lanman announce protocol used by
+OS/2 clients. Thanks to Jacco de Leeuw for 
+this code.
 
 3). New Internationalization support.

 Samba supports the NT 3.51 and 4.0 Domain Authentication
 Protocol to a degree sufficient to download Profiles to an
 NT 3.51 or 4.0 Workstation ("Welcome to the SAMBA Domain").
 
-There is also code in smbclient to generate the same

-Domain Logon.  This has only been tested against a Samba

+Thanks to Jean-Francois Micouleau for this new code.
+
+Printer support on System V systems (notably Solaris)
+has been improved with the addition of code generously
+donated by Norm Jacobs of Sun Microsystems. Sun have
+also made a Solaris SPARC workstation available to the
+Samba Team to aid in their porting efforts.
+
+Samba now contains an implementation of share modes
+using System V shared memory as well as the mmap()
+based code. This was done to allow the 'FAST_SHARE_MODES'
+to be used on more systems (especially HPUX 9.x) that
+have System V shared memory, but not the mmap() call.
+
+The System V shared memory code is used by default on
+many systems as it has benchmarked as faster on many
+systems.
 
 Some of the new parameters for NT Domain Logons and
 Profile support are now also used by the Win95 Domain
 Logons and Profile support.
