It now has a line like this: VERSION 1 251152 the first number is a version #define in nmbd_winsserver.c and will be used if we ever have to change the format again. The second number is a hash of the current interfaces setting. It is used to detect the case where nmbd is restarted on a machine after the IP of the machine has changed (or the interfaces list has changed in any way). When that happens we need to discard the old wins.dat cache or you end up with chaos. This has bitten quite a few people, they find that when they move a machine it continues using the old IP for some things for the next week until the wins entries time out! I've checked, and the old nmbd can handle the new format, although it does spit out a spurious error message about the VERSION line. So users can safely run 2.0alpha then switch back to 1.9.18 without problems.
