 Some major user-visible changes include:
 
-For installations that do not need an AD Domain controller, we can now
-build using MIT Kerberos from the local system.  This is important for
-some distributors.  This is enabled with the new --with-system-mitkrb5
-configure option.  A synonym is the new --without-ad-dc option.
+The internal DNS server has had some stability improvements, and
+now handles forwarded DNS replies in an async manner.
 
-The 's3fs' effort has moved to a new stage, with this now being the
-default mode of operation for new provisions.  
+The build of libtdb.so and libtalloc.so has been removed from the
+autoconf build.  Use the build in lib/talloc and lib/tdb to build
+this software for use across the system.
 
-The BIND 9 DLZ plugin has had some stability improvements under BIND reloads.
+The smbclient and nmblookup binaries have been renamed in the top
+level build, so smbclient/nmblookup are now the implementations from
+the Samba 3.x heritage.
 
-The 'samba-tool domain samba3upgrade' tool will now generally import
-all group members, and correctly imports domain password policies. 
-
-Some major but less visible changes include:
-
-Continued early implementation work on the SMB 2.2 protocol client and server as
-the team improves and develops support these new protocols.
+Improved handling of the cleanup of smbd child processes (removing a
+number of scary warnings from our log output).
 
 
 KNOWN ISSUES
 ============

+- We are making this beta release to gain real-world use of the 's3fs'
   file server combination we will use for the Samba 4.0 release.
   Users should expect some rough edges: in particular, there are
   warnings about invalid parameters from the two respective parameter
   parsing engines.
 
-- There have been improvements to FreeBSD support, but more work is
-  still required to finish this effort
-
 - upgradeprovision should not be run when upgrading to this release
   from a recent release.  No important database format changes have
   been made since alpha16.
