+commits
+-------
+
+o   Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+    * Fix CIFS POSIX unlink behavior.
+    * Change POSIX_UNLINK to allow clients to differentiate between 
+      unlink/rmdir calls.
+    * Add smbclient implementations of POSIX open/mkdir/unlink/rmdir.
+    * Refactor MS-DFS server and client code.
+    * Support deep MS-DFS referrals in Samba client applications.
+    * Change the VFS interface to use struct timespec for utimes.
+    * Fix build failures on *BSD platforms caused by introduction of 
+      memalign().
+    * Optimize exit path in the byte-range locking code in smbd to 
+      only read the locking db if there are outstanding lock requests.
+    * Fix long-standing bug in our chain processing code.
+    * BUG 4384: Fix bug in old search code.
+    * Add support for the UNIX_INFO2 info level.
+    * Add in the "create info" field to the reply from POSIX_OPEN 
+      and POSIX_MKDIR.
+    * Refactor the sessionsetupX code a little to allow us to return 
+      a NT_STATUS_TIME_DIFFERENCE_AT_DC error to a client.
+    * Fix memory leaks in the LDAP sasl bind code.
+    * Fix crash in vfs audit/full audit modules caused by API changes.
+
+
+o   Alexander Bokovoy <ab@samba.org>
+    * Ensure nfsv4 chown logic is controlled by "nfs4:chown=[yes|no]".
+
+
+o   Gerald (Jerry) Carter <jerry@samba.org>
+    * Fix server affinity bug in Winbind's ADS connection handling.
+    * Fix crash when enumerating local group membership in usrmgr.exe
+      on a Samba DC.

+    * Add server stub for NetFileClose()
+    * Return correct information for sessions and open files
+      including session duration, number of open files, and open pipes.
+    * Fixes for "winbind normalize names" functionality: 
+      - Fix getgroups() call called using a normalized name
+      - Fix some more name mappings that could cause for example
+        a user to be unable to unlock the screen as the username
+        would not match in the PAM authenticate call.
+     * Blacklist BUILTIN and MACHINE domains from the idmap domains as 
+       these should only be handled by the winbindd_passdb.c backend.
+     * Allow the alloc init to fail for backwards compatible 
+       configurations such as with idmap_ad.
+     * Remove the deprecated flags from idmap backend, et. al. These

+
+
+o   Guenther Deschner <gd@samba.org>
+    * Adding experimental krb5 lib locator plugin.

+      smb.conf as "Samba" and not "Vista".
+    * Prevent a user from issuing a PAM_DELETE_CREDS request in 
+      pam_close_session() for another user.
+
+
+o   Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com> 
+    * Fix mount.cifs compile on old libc missing bind mount #define.

+
+
+o   Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org>
+    * BUG 4365: Fix NTLMv2 implementation on Samba member servers not 
+      running winbindd.
+    * Reduce contention on the tdb free list by periodic reclamation
+      of dead tdb records into groups
+    * Split tdb free lists per hash chain.
+    * Coverity fixes.

+      race conditions during the challenge/response authentication sequence.

+                   ==================================
+                   Release Notes for Samba 3.0.25pre1
+                              Feb 28, 2007
+                   ==================================
+
+Major features included in the 3.0.25 code base include:
+
+  o Significant improvements in the winbind off-line logon support.
+  o Support for secure DDNS updates as part of the 'net ads join' 
+    process.
+  o Rewritten IdMap interface which allows for TTL based caching and 
+    per domain backends.
+  o New plug-in interface for the "winbind nss info" parameter.
+  o New file change notify subsystem which is able to make use of 
+    inotify on Linux.
+  o Support for passing Windows security descriptors to a VFS 
+    plug-in allowing for multiple Unix ACL implements to running side 
+    by side on the Same server.
+  o Improved compatibility with Windows Vista clients.
+  o Man pages for VFS plugins.
+
+
+Off-line Logons and AD Site Support
+===================================
+
+Winbind's capability to support offline logons has been greatly
+improved with the 3.0.25 release including support for locating 
+domain controllers asynchronously using Active Directory Site
+information.
+
+
+New IdMap Interface for Winbindd
+================================
+
+The 3.0.25 release of Samba will include a rewritten IdMap interface
+for winbindd which replaces the "idmap backend" parameter.  The
+initial design document may be found at
+
+	http://www.samba.org/~idra/samba3_newidmap.pdf
+
+The final 3.0.25 release will include full documentation in the
+distributed manpages.
+
+
+Dynamic DNS Updates
+===================
+
+The "net ads join" command is now able to register the host's DNS A
+records with Windows 2000 SP4 and 2003 DNS servers.  This 
+feature must be enabled at compile time using the --with-dnsupdate 
+when running the ./configure script.  There is also a related "net ads 
+dns" command for refreshing a host's records which could be launched
+from a dhcp client script when a new IP address is obtained.
+
+
+Support for Additional ACL Modules
+==================================
+
+Samba's POSIX ACL support has been moved inside of the VFS layer 
+which means it is now possible to support multiple ACL implementations
+on the same server including NFSv3 and GPFS ACLs.
