WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0 alpha22
4th March 2003
==============================
This is a pre-release of Samba 3.0. This is NOT a stable release.
Use at your own risk.

- Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
improves error handling a lot.

clients has improved greatly.
- better w2k printing support including publishing printer
attributes in active directory
- new loadable RPC modules
- new dual-daemon winbindd support for better performance
- support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain
- support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
domain controllers

Changes in alpha21:
See cvs log for SAMBA_3_0 for complete details. There are many
smaller numerous changes that would clutter the release notes.
1) remove the global_myname string and replace with wrapper function
global_myname()
2) create vfs/ and pdb/ subdirectories for library installs
3) Fixup of ordered cleanup of get_dc_list()
4) Added more autoconf tests for Stratus VOS
5) Fixed nasty bug where file writes with start offsets in the
range 0x80000000 -> 0xFFFFFFFF would fail as they were being cast
from IVAL (uint32) to SMB_OFF_T (off_t or off64_t, both *signed*
types). The sign extension would cause the offset to be treated
as negative.
6) Add support to automatically retrieve the dns host name and domain
name of an AD server
7) Add support for PRINTER_INFO_7 and publishing printer attributes
in active directory
8) Fix for 64 bit issues with oplocks and allocation size
9) Remove assert(count ==1) for multi-homed PDCs when resolving
DOMAIN<0x1b>
10) Ensure that change_trust_account_password() always talks to
the PDC
11) Add some docs on CUPS printing
12) Fix rpcclient querygroup command
13) The _abs time functions should not be converting from/to GMT
14) Fix broken incremental tar in smbclient
15) Adding supporting code for better testing using Valgrind
16) Fix for old DOS client when veto files is set to /.*/
17) Add win32 utility to query driver capabilities to publish
(examples/printing/prtpub.c)
18) Fix memory leak when constructing an driver_level_6 structure and
no dependent files
19) Add some friendly versions of NT_STATUS codes
20) Protect nmbd against malformed reply packets
21) Removal of unpopular winbind client environment variable
22) Add msdfs proxy functionality; a CIFS share can directly be a
stand-in for another share, and when clients connect to the first
share, they will be redirected to the proxied share
23) Make Samba compile cleanly with -Wwrite-strings
24) Add new timegm() that actually works on solaris
25) Add support for running smbd, nmbd, & winbindd under the daemontools
package
26) Move user password changes into the NTSTATUS era, and add suppport
for the 'min password age' and 'min passwd len' concepts
27) Add new gencache based namecache code
28) Add profiles utility support to Samba 3.0.x
29) Fix open problem with changing attributes on an existing file
30) Effeciency fixes for internal messaging system
31) Make sure to update print queue cache during timeout_processing()
to send notify events
32) Make -i flag work like it did in 2.2
33) Merge some rpcclient and net functionality from HEAD
34) Add support for compiling with Heimdal kerberos libraries
35) Connect to the actual netbios name in smb.conf and not LOCALHOST
36) Add support for CUPS-PRINTER_CLASS
37) Add ntlm_auth tool and update NTLMSSP support
38) require Autoconf 2.53 and remove configure from CVS
39) Check for too many processes *before* the fork
40) Fix delete on close semantics to match W2K.
41) merge desired_access for open_printer_ex from HEAD, allowing
cupsaddsmb to work again!
42) Add suport for dynamic RPC modules
43) wrap all cm_get_XX calls and their subsequent requests in a retry loop
in case we've temporarily lost connection to the DC. Makes winbindd
more reliable
44) Optimize user_ok() and user_in_group() when verifying group membership
45) Add NTLMv2 client code (that works) and some SMB signing fixes
46) Add caching of PRINTER_INFO_2 structures to open printer handles
47) Add 1/3 second delay in OpenPrinter() reply to trigger a LAN/WAN
optimization in Windows 2000 clients
48) Add "WinXP" to the possible values of the %a variable
49) Fix to allow blocking lock notification to be done rapidly (no wait for
smb -> smb lock release). Adds new PENDING_LOCK type to lockdb (does
not interfere with existing locks)
50) Limit the unix domain sockets used by winbindd (also solves FD_SETSIZE
problem in winbindd to boot !). Adds a "last_access" field to winbindd
connections, and will close the oldest idle connection once the number
of open connections goes over WINBINDD_MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_CLIENTS (defined
in local.h as 200 currently)
51) Limit the number of print jobs returned in EnumJobs()
