<h3>Roadmap to 3.0</h3>
<p><em>Page Last Updated</em> : 5 Mar, 2003
<p><em>Estimated shipdate</em> : When it is ready.
<p><em>Current Alpha Release</em> : <a href="/samba/ftp/alpha/samba-3.0alpha22.tar.gz">Samba-3.0alpha22</a>

<h3>Road to 3.0</h3>

<ul>
  <li>(5th Mar, 2003) <em>Samba-3.0alpha22 RPMS for Redhat 6.x, 7.x and 8.0 available</em>
  <p>Binary packages for RedHat Linux 6.x, 7.x and 8.0 systems of the Samba 3.0alpha22
  release are ready for download from the 
  <a href="http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/RedHat">Binary_Packages/RedHat</a> directory.
  </li>
</ul>

<ul>
  <li>(26th Nov, 2002) <em>Samba-3.0alpha21 RPMS for Redhat 7.x and 8.0 available</em>
  <p>Binary packages for RedHat Linux 7.x and 8.0 systems of the Samba 3.0alpha21
  release are ready for download from the 
  <a href="http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/RedHat">Binary_Packages/RedHat</a> directory.
  </li>
</ul>

<ul>
  <li>(26th Sept, 2002) <em>SAMBA_3_0 cvs branch</em>
  <p>With the release of 3.0alpha20, the SAMBA_3_0 cvs branch is now being
  officially maintained in an effort to stabilize certain features.  If you would
  like to continue to test the soon-to-be-3.0 code base, 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>
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 (there is a patch that still needs some work)
</ul>
