The Samba-Team are committed to an aggressive program to deliver quality
controlled software to a well defined roadmap.
-The current Samba release 2.0.4 is called the "NT Security update".
-
-It correctly implements the Windows NT specific SMB calls,
-and will operate correctly as a client in a Windows NT
-Domain environment.
-
-In addition, the first implementation of the Web-based GUI
-management tool ships with 2.0.0, thus fullfilling some of
-the commitments made in the 1.9.18 release Roadmap document.
-
-Some work has been done on ensuring compatibility with
-Windows NT 5.0 (now Windows 2000 :-) although this is
-a somewhat (slowly) moving target.
+The current Samba Beta series of Samba 3.0.0 is called the "Domain Integration"
+release.
The following development objectives for future releases
-are in place:

- Some management capabilities for Samba using native NT tools.
- Provision of command-line equivalents to native NT tools.
+Samba-3.x.x Improvements in Management and Migration tools,
+ the introduction of further integration capabilities.
-2.X - "Domain Controller" - able to serve as a Windows NT PDC.
+Samba-4 Danger Will Robinson, a big code clean up with major
+ system redesign. More will be announced as this work
+ starts to take shape.
-X.XX - "Full Domain Integration" - allowing both PDC and BDC modes.
-Note that it is a given that the Samba Team will continue to track
