 fixes since 3.0.10 that we feel are important to make available
 to the Samba community for wider testing.
 
+Common bugs fixed in 3.0.11pre2 include:
+
+  o Ineffeciencies when searching non-AD LDAP directories.
+  o Failure to expand variables in user domain attributes
+    in tdbsam and ldapsam.
+  o Memory leaks.
+  o Failure to retrieve certain attribute when migrating from 
+    a Windows DC to a Samba DC via 'net rpc vampire'.
+
+Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.11pre1:
+
+  o Support for the Windows privilege model to assign rights
+    to specific SIDs.
+  o New adminstrative options to the 'net rpc' command.

+commits
+-------
+o   Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+    * Fixes for libsmbclient to ensure that interrupted system calls
+      are restarted minus the already expired portion of the timeout
+      (based on work by Derrell Lipman).
+    * More unicode string parsing fixes.
+    * Convert the winreg pipe to use WERROR returns.
+    * Make all LDAP timeouts consistent (input from Joe Meadows 
+      <jameadows@webopolis.com>).
+    * BUG 2231: Remove double "\\" from client findfirst.
+    * BUG 2238: Fix memory leak in shadow copy vfs.
+    * Return correct DOS/NT error code on transact named pipe on 
+      closed pipe handle.
+    * BUG 2211: Fix security descriptor parsing bug (based on work by 
+      Mrinal Kalakrishnan <mail@mrinal.net>).
+    * BUG 2270: Fix memory leaks in cups printing backend support 
+      (based on work by Lars Mueller).
+    * BUG 2255: Fix debug level in kerberos error messages.
+
+
+o   Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
+    * Don't store the auth-user credentials with the cli_state* as 
+      this can cause the schannel setup to fail when the auth-user
+      domain is not our primary domain.
+
+
+o   Grigory Batalov <bga@altlinux.org>
+    * Fix encoding while receiving of a message which was actually 
+      sent using STR_ASCII.
+
+

+    * Support Windows privilege model for assigning rights
+      to specific SIDs.  Based on work by Simo Sorce in the trunk 
+      svn branch.  This feature is controlled by the 'enable 
+      privileges = [yes|no]' smb.conf(5) option.
+    * Add some smb.conf scripts for add/delete/change shares and 
+      deleting cups printers.
+    * Expand variables in the profile path, logon home and logon script 
+      values when using either tdbsam or ldapsam.

+      descriptor if we are a DC.
+
+
+o   Guenther Deschner <gd@samba.org>
+    * Allow rpcclient to define a port to use when connecting 
+      to a remote server.
+    * Allow Account Lockout with Lockout Duration "forever" (until 
+      admin unlocks) to be set and displayed in User Manager.
+    * Allow to set acb_mask in rpcclient's enumdomusers.
+    * Add more generic rootDSE inspection function to check 
+      for given controls or extensions and remember these on a 
+      per server basis.
+    * Improve LDAP search efficiency by passing the acb_mask to 
+      pdb_setsampwent().
+    * Fixes for ldapsam_enum_group_memberships().
+    * Add createdomgroup to rpcclient.
+    * Add "net rpc user RENAME"-command.
+    * Display sam_user_info_7 in rpcclient.

+      (can be compiled with -DIDMAP_RID_SUPPORT_TRUSTED_DOMAINS).
+    * When vampiring account policy AP_LOCK_ACCOUNT_DURATION honor 
+      "Lockout Duration: Forever".
+
+
+o   Rob Foehl <rwf@loonybin.net>
+    * Implement caching of names from printcap to support a true
+      'printcap cache time'.
+

+    * Example script for 'add print command' when using CUPS.

+      single cli_state*.

+      listed as a 'password server' to work around cases where the 
+      DC was defined using an IP address or fqdn.
+    * Fix memleak in winbindd connection code.
+    * Fix cli_samr_queryuseraliases.
+    * Allow wbinfo --user-sids to expand expand domain local groups.
+
+
+o   Jim McDonough <jmcd@us.ibm.com>

+      vampire'.
