                   ==============================
 
-This is the third beta release of Samba 3.0.0. This is a 
-non-production release intended for testing purposes.  Use 
-at your own risk. 
+This is the first release candidate snapshot of Samba 3.0.0. A release 
+candidate implies that the code is very close to a final release, remember 
+that this is still a non-production release intended for testing purposes.  
+Use at your own risk. 
 
-The purpose of this beta 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 beta releases, and to provide high quality feedback on what 
-needs fixing.
-
-Samba 3.0 is feature complete. However there is still some final 
-work to be done on certain pieces of functionality.  Please refer to 
-the section on "Known Issues" for more details.

+2)  Provide full support SMB signing (server and client)
+3)  Check for broken getgrouplist() in glibc.
+4)  Don't get stuck in an infinite loop listing directories 
+    recursively if the server returns an empty directory name
+    (bug 222).
+5)  Idle LDAP connections after 150 seconds.
+6)  Patched make uninstallmodules (bug 236).
+7)  Fix bug that caused smbd to return incomplete directory listings
+    when UNIX files contained MS wildcards characters.
+8)  Quiet default debug messages in command line tools.
+9)  Fixes to avoid panics on invalid multi-byte strings.
+10) Fix error messages when creating a new smbpasswd file (bug 198).
+11) Implemented better detection routines in autoconf scripts for 
+    locating ads support on the host OS.
+12) Fix bug that caused libraries in /usr/local/lib to be ignored 
+    (bug 174).
+13) Ensure winbindd_ads uses the correct realm or domain name when 
+    connecting to trusted DC.
+14) Ensure a correct prototype is created for snprintf() (bug 187)
+15) Stop files being created on read-only shares in some circumstances.
+16) Fix wbinfo -p (bug 251)
+17) Support schannel on any tcp/ip connection if necessary
+18) Correct bug in user_in_list() so that it works with winbind groups 
+    again.
+19) Ensure the schannel bind credentials default to the domain 
+    of the destination host.
+20) Default password expiration time in account_pol.tdb to never 
+    expire.  Remove any existing account_pol.tdb file to reset
+    the new default policy (bug 184). 
+21) Add buttons to SWAT to change the view of smb.conf (bug 212)
+22) Fix incorrect checks that determine whether or not the 'add user 
+    script' has been set.
+23) More cleanup for internal character set conversions.

+    connected user and not root.

+34) Support winbindd on FreeBSD is possible.
+35) Look at the only first OID in the security blob sent in the session 
+    setup request to determine the token type.
+36) Only push locks onto a blocking lock queue if the posix lock failed with 
+    EACCES or EAGAIN (this means another lock conflicts). Else return an 
+    error and don't queue the request.
+37) Fix command line argument processing for smbtar.
+38) Correct issue that caused smbd to return generic unix_user.<uid> 
+    for lookupsid().
+39) Default to algorithmic mapping when generating a rid for a group
+    mapping.
+40) Expand %g and %G in logon script, profile path, etc... during

+    our domain.
+49) Fix group enumeration bug when using an LDAP directory for 
+    storing group mappings.
+50) Fallback to not using NTLMv2 when the extended security 
+    capability bit is not set.

+53) Add vfs_readonly VFS module.
+54) Make sure to initialize the sambaNextUserRid and sambaNextGroupRid
+    attributes when using 'idmap backend = ldap' (bug 280).
