 Some major user-visible changes include:
 
-- The issue with beta4 being unable to build with a released version of
-  ldb has been resolved. 
+- Provision is now faster, as we now correctly use the database
+  indicies during the provision
 
-- The two parameter tables for our two smb.conf parsing engines have
-  been merged.  This removes the ugly (but harmless) "unknown
-  parameter xxx" warnings, particularly from the smbd child process.
+- Support for handling of Extended Signatures (Session Key Protection)
 
-- Major issues have been fixed in conflict and missing/deleted parent
-  handling in or DRS replication engine.
+- A (unverified at this time) fix for expanding memory use in our
+  AD DRS replication server.
 
-- Safety improvements to prevent corruption of read-write replicas
-  by manual replication from a read-only replica.
+- A fix for supporting the userWorkstations restriction in the KDC
 
-- Improvements to dbcheck to correct incorrect instanceType values from
-  the above and to relocate objects with missing parents.
-
-- smbd no longer places all accounts in the 'Domain Users' of the AD
-  domain to which it is joined
-
-- AES support in NETLOGON Schannel
-
-- DCE/RPC timeout handling no longer crashes
-
-- "socket address" is now "nbt client socket address" as it only
-  controls the binding of the NetBIOS client, not other protocols.
-  See 'bind interfaces only = yes'.  This parameter is also now depricated.
-
-- nmbd now always binds to it's broadcast sockets explicitly, rather
-  than just relying on the socket address above.
+- Support for upgrading classic domains that may not have all the
+  default domain policies set.
