 Beside this the release includes (among a lot of other things):
 
-* a new build system based on WAF
-Andrew Tridgell (tridge) invested much time to bring this up. He achieved a
-marvellous work which brings us faster building, easier management and smaller
-binaries.
-
-* enhancements in Samba4 winbind to provide a fairly good implementation of the
-most important functions needed by "libnss_winbind" and "pam_winbind"
-This two components allow a user/group mapping for Windows accounts on UNIX and
-UNIX-like systems. Therefore also these accounts can be used to connect to
-services as "ssh", "login", "Xsession" and so on.
-More informations available at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Winbind
-and for winbind in general, "libnss_winbind" and "pam_winbind" in the Samba 3.X
-documentation.
-
-* server side NT ACLs manipulation
-These can now also be set on the command line directly on the server. See
-"net acl" for further informations.
-
-* dynamic DNS updates
-Up-to-date DNS entries are essential for Active Directory deployments. As for
-the moment Samba4 isn't yet capable to interoperate with Microsofts AD DNS
-server (regarding RPCs, ADs zone entries...) a kind of update script has been
-developed. It also permits the update of the "grant" and "resource" lists.
-
-* registry improvements
-The registry code was reworked, improved and retested. This was achieved by the
-new torture tests written by gd and some additional testing against Windows
-("regedit" - Windows Registry Editor and "regedt32" - Windows NT Registry Editor).
-Also some real bugs were fixed.
-
-* new Kerberos HEIMDAL release
-Andrew Bartlett (abartlet) imported a new release with various bugfixes
-
-* DCE/RPC code unification work
-Stefan Metzmacher (metze) started his work to unify these codebases between s3
-and s4
-
-* And much more
-We always try to fix bugs and keep improving the (source) quality of our
-program.
+* a script for backuping production provision
+Although still in development, samba4 is already used in a couple of production sites
+and such kind of use case is intensifying. This script is intendended for administrators
+to allow them to make a periodic backup of the provision in case of problem.
