+                   Release Notes for Samba 3.0.12rc1
+                             Mar 11, 2005
+                   ==================================
+
+This is a release candidate of the Samba 3.0.12 code base and is 
+provided for testing only.  While close to the final stable release, 
+this snapshot is *not* intended for production servers.  If all 
+goes well, this this version (or something very similar) will become
+the final 3.0.12 stable release. 
+
+Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12rc1 include:
+
+  o Error messages from shared Excel workbooks residing on Samba 
+    file shares.
+  o Missing files in the output of smbclient -c 'dir' when run 
+    against Windows file servers.
+  o Inability for Print Administrators to pause/resume/purge print 
+    queues.
+
+Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.12rc1:
+
+  o Support for the Novell NDS universal password when using the
+    ldapsam passdb backend.
+  o New 'net rpc trustdom {add,del}' functionality to eventually 
+    replace 'smbpasswd {-a,-x} -i'.
+  o New libsmbclient functionality.

+      behavior by default.
+    * BUG 2399 (partial): Ensure we use SMB_VFS_STAT instead of
