+ 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.
