+Changes since 2.2.8pre1
+-----------------------
+1)  smbumount lazy patch from Mandrake
+2)  Check for too many processes *before* the fork.
+3)  make sure we don't run over the end of 'name' in unix_convert()
+4)  set umask to 0 before creating socket directory.
+5)  Fix the LARGE_SMB_OFF_T problems and allow smbd to do the right thing 
+    in interactive mode when a log file dir is also specified.
+6)  Fix delete on close semantics to match W2K.
+7)  Correctly return access denied on share mode deny when we can't open 
+    the file.
+8)  Always use safe_strcpy not pstrcpy for malloc()'d strings
+9)  Fixes for HP-UX only having limited POSIX lock range
+10) Added uid/gid caching code. Reduces load on winbindd.
+11) Removed extra copy of server name in the printername field (it was
+    mangling the the name to be \\server\\\server\printer
+12) Fix dumb perror used without errno being set.
+13) Do retries correctly if the connection to the DC has failed.
+14) Correctly check for inet_addr fail.
+15) Ensure we use getgrnam() unless BROKEN_GETGRNAM is defined.
+16) Fix for missing if (setting_acls) on default perms.
+17) Fix to cache the sidtype
+18) fix printer settings on Solaris (big-endian) print servers.
+    ASCII -> UNICODE conversion bug.
+19) Small fix check correct error return.
+20) Ensure space_avail is unsigned.
+21) patch to check for a valid [f]chmod_acl function pointer
+    before calling it.  Fixes seg fault in audit VFS module
+22) When checking is_locked() new WRITE locks conflict with existing
+    READ locks even if the context is the same.
+23) Merge off-by-one crash fixes from HEAD
+24) Move off-by-one buggy malloc()/safe_strcpy() combination to strdup()
+    instead.
+25) Merge from HEAD. Use pstrcpy not safe_strcpy.
+26) Fix to allow blocking lock notification to be done rapidly (no wait
+    for smb -> smb lock release). Adds new PENDING_LOCK type to lockdb
+    (does not interfere with existing locks).
+27) Doxygen cleanups for code documentation
+28) limit the unix domain sockets used by winbindd  by adding a
+    "last_access" field to winbindd connections, and will close
+    the oldest idle connection once the number of open connections goes
+    over WINBINDD_MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_CLIENTS (defined in local.h as 200
+    currently)
+29) Fix a couple of string handling errors in smbd/dir.c that would 
+    cause smbd to crash
