Samba now comes with SWAT, a web based GUI config system. See
swat/README for how to set it up.
+5) change to nmbd default logging behavior
+------------------------------------------
+
+The nmbd daemon now appends to pre-existing log files by default. In
+previous releases, nmbd would overwrite old log files. Both nmbd and smbd
+now accept the '-a' and '-o' options, which mean "append" and "overwrite",
+respectively.

+1) timestamps on all log messages
+---------------------------------
+
+Both nmbd and smbd now place timestamp headers on all log messages. The
+headers include the time and the message level. On systems with compilers
+that support the necessary macros, the file & function names and the line
+number (of the call to Debug()) will also be listed.
+
+2) NetBIOS name server has improved database
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The linked list used to store NetBIOS names in the Samba "WINS" database
+has been replaced with a splay-balanced binary tree. This should improve
+speed for installations with very large WINS lists.
+
There have been lots of other changes as well. We'll add them here as
we remember them :)
