WHATS NEW IN 1.9.17alpha4 - July 3rd 1997.
WHATS NEW IN 1.9.17alpha5 - July 31st 1997.
==========================================
Last Alpha before full release.
-------------------------------
It is our intention that 1.9.17alpha5 be the last alpha
before the full 1.9.17 release. If you are concerned that
Samba 1.9.17 compile cleanly out of the box on your platform
please try 1.9.17alpha5 and make sure it compiles for your
particular platform. Please let samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au
know if you have problems.
The differences between 1.9.17alpha4 and 1.9.17alpha5 are
mainly tidying code to ensure portability over different
platforms (although some new code has been added).
Thanks to Cisco for the new netbios alias code support.
Improved browsing support.
