The 3.0alpha21 snapshot has been placed on samba.org for download and will be available on mirrors shortly. RedHat RPMS will be uploaded within the hour I think. Just a remember that this release is provided for testing purposes only. And testing with no feedback does us no good. :-) The full WHATSNEW file is available at http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/alpha/WHATSNEW.txt The source release tarballs and GPG signatures are available in that same directory. Here's the relevant portion of the release notes.... WHATS NEW IN Samba 3.0 alpha21 26th November 2002 =============================== This is a pre-release of Samba 3.0. This is NOT a stable release. Use at your own risk. The purpose of this alpha release is to get wider testing of the major new pieces of code in the current Samba 3.0 development tree. We have officially ceased development on the 2.2.x release of Samba and are concentrating on Samba 3.0. To reduce the time before the final Samba 3.0 release we need as many people as possible to start testing these alpha releases, and hopefully giving us some high quality feedback on what needs fixing. Note that Samba 3.0 is not feature complete yet. There is a more coding we have planned, but unless we get what we have done already more widely tested we will have a hard time doing a stable release in a reasonable time frame. Reporting bugs & Development Discussion - --------------------------------------- Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.openprojects.net Note that general use or administration question should still be directed to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
