If you would like to continue to test the soon-to-be-3.0 codease, please use this branch tag when checking out the cvs tree. </ul> <h3>Roadmap Overview</h3> <p>This is a feature list/roadmap for the 3.0 release. A lot of discussion has gone on about this. Implementation is a separate discussion :-) If a feature is already done, I marked it as "Req". It should be obvious from this roadmap that one the major hurdles for releasing the 3.0 code base is the completion of documentation updates. <ul> <li>X = done <li>o = TODO <li>- = unknown </ul> <p> Some features have been through basic testing that have <b>o</b>'s beneath testing column since we are not done. Items are ordered by maturity, not by importance. If it is marked as <em>Required</em>, then it must be completed for a stable 3.0 release. <p> <table border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width=50%><h3>Feature</h3></td> <td align=center><h3>Required?</h3></td> <td align=center><h3>Code</h3></td> <td align=center><h3>Test</h3></td> <td align=center><h3>Document</h3></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><u>Release Delaying Features</u></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>UNICODE support</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>Windows 2000 AD client support</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>winbind dual-daemon implementation</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>pluggable passdb support</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>Windows NT 4.0 Style Trust Relationship</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>NTLMv2</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>One Time Migration script from a Windows NT 4.0 PDC to a Samba PDC</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>Winbind working with Samba PDC</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>Loadable RPC implementations</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>hook for utilizing a centralized winbindd id map database</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>Group Mapping support(privileges need some work, etc...)</td> <td align=center>yes</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td><em><u>Non-Release Delaying Features</u></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>Stackable VFS</td> <td align=center>no</td> <td align=center>X</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>Publishing printers in AD (probably will make 3.0 but will not delay release)</td> <td align=center>no</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> <td align=center>o</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>SAM replication (full implementation still lacks some decoding work; post 3.0)</td> <td align=center>no</td> <td align=center>-</td> <td align=center>-</td> <td align=center>-</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>SMB signing (needs more research; not a show stopper)</td> <td align=center>no</td> <td align=center>-</td> <td align=center>-</td> <td align=center>-</td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50%>schannel, ntlmv2 sign & seal (needs more research)</td> <td align=center>no</td> <td align=center>-</td> <td align=center>-</td> <td align=center>-</td> </tr> </table> <p> Plus the following interesting, but non-show stopping projects <ul> <li>background updates of print queues via a dedicated process <li>WINS replication with Windows NT WINS servers <li>alternative backend for WINS database </ul> </td> <td></td> </tr> <TR ALIGN="center"> <TD COLSPAN="3"><BR><BR><BR><img src="http://www.samba.org/samba/images/bar1.gif" WIDTH="493" HEIGHT="26" BORDER="0" alt="=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-="></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN="3" ALIGN="center"> <em>samba - opening windows to a wider world</em> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <table align="center"> <tr><td> <form method="post" action="http://de.samba.org/cgi-bin/htsearch"> <input type="text" size="30" name="words" value=""> <input type="submit" value="Search"> </form> </td> </tr></table> </BODY> </HTML>
