+ Release Notes for Samba 3.0.25b
+ June 26, 2007
+ ===============================
+
Major bug fixes included in Samba 3.0.25b are:
o Offline caching of files with Windows XP/Vista clients.
o Crashes is idmap_ldap and idmap_rid.
+Changes to 'net idmap dump'
+===========================
+
+A change in command line syntax and behavior was introduced in the
+3.0.25 release series where the command
+
+ $ net idmap dump /.../path/to/idmap.tdb
+
+would overwrite the tdb instead of dumping its contents to standard
+output as was the case in releases prior to Samba 3.0.25. The
+changed has been reverted in 3.0.25b and the semantics from 3.0.24
+and earlier releases have been restored.
