The Samba Team is proud to present our first alpha release of Samba4.

Samba4 aims to be a compatible replacement for 

In the time since TP5 was released in June 2007, Samba has
continued to evolve, but you may particularly notice these areas:

  Group Policy Support:  Basic group policies may be defined, and are
  enforced by Windows clients

  MMC Support:  The Active Directory Users and Computers console now
  works, supporting most operations.  

  Winbind:  Kai Blin has been working hard on his Google Summer of
  Code project, creating a winbind implementation for Samba4.

  Heimdal update:  A Heimdal 1.0 snapshot is now included as the
  internal Kerberos library in Samba4.

  In the past few weeks, many small but significant bugs have been
  fixed, particularly thanks to Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer <mwallnoefer@yahoo.de>

These are just some of the highlights of the work done in the past few
months.  More details can be found in our SVN history.
