 Use at your own risk.

-  * mangle prefix

+  * client lanman auth
+  * client signing
+  * client use spnego

-Modified Parameters
--------------------
+ See cvs log for SAMBA_3_0 for complete details.  There are many
+ smaller numerous changes that would clutter the release notes.
 
-  * restrict anonymous
-  * password server
+1)  remove the global_myname string and replace with wrapper function
+    global_myname()
+2)  create vfs/ and pdb/ subdirectories for library installs
+3)  Fixup of ordered cleanup of get_dc_list()
+4)  Added more autoconf tests for Stratus VOS
+5)  Fixed nasty bug where file writes with start offsets in the 
+    range 0x80000000 -> 0xFFFFFFFF would fail as they were being cast 
+    from IVAL (uint32) to SMB_OFF_T (off_t or off64_t, both *signed* 
+    types).   The sign extension would cause the offset to be treated 
+    as negative.
+6)  Add support to automatically retrieve the dns host name and domain
+    name of an AD server
+7)  Add support for PRINTER_INFO_7 and publishing printer attributes
+    in active directory
+8)  Fix for 64 bit issues with oplocks and allocation size
+9)  Remove assert(count ==1) for multi-homed PDCs when resolving 
+    DOMAIN<0x1b>
+10) Ensure that change_trust_account_password() always talks to 
+    the PDC
+11) Add some docs on CUPS printing
+12) Fix rpcclient querygroup command
+13) The _abs time functions should not be converting from/to GMT
+14) Fix broken incremental tar in smbclient
+15) Adding supporting code for better testing using Valgrind
+16) Fix for old DOS client when veto files is set to /.*/
+17) Add win32 utility to query driver capabilities to publish
+    (examples/printing/prtpub.c)
+18) Fix memory leak when constructing an driver_level_6 structure and 
+    no dependent files 
+19) Add some friendly versions of NT_STATUS codes
+20) Protect nmbd against malformed reply packets
+21) Removal of unpopular winbind client environment variable
+22) Add msdfs proxy functionality; a CIFS share can directly be a 
+    stand-in for another share, and when clients connect to the first 
+    share, they will be redirected to the proxied share
+23) Make Samba compile cleanly with -Wwrite-strings
+24) Add new timegm() that actually works on solaris
+25) Add support for running smbd, nmbd, & winbindd under the daemontools
+    package
+26) Move user password changes into the NTSTATUS era, and add suppport 
+    for the 'min password age' and 'min passwd len' concepts
+27) Add new gencache based namecache code
+28) Add profiles utility support to Samba 3.0.x
+29) Fix open problem with changing attributes on an existing file

+34) Add support for compiling with Heimdal kerberos libraries
+35) Connect to the actual netbios name in smb.conf and not LOCALHOST
+36) Add support for CUPS-PRINTER_CLASS
+37) Add ntlm_auth tool and update NTLMSSP support
+38) require Autoconf 2.53 and remove configure from CVS
+39) Check for too many processes *before* the fork
+40) Fix delete on close semantics to match W2K. 
+41) merge desired_access for open_printer_ex from HEAD, allowing 
+    cupsaddsmb to work again!
+42) Add suport for dynamic RPC modules
+43) wrap all cm_get_XX calls and their subsequent requests in a retry loop 
+    in case we've temporarily lost connection to the DC. Makes winbindd 
+    more reliable
+44) Optimize user_ok() and user_in_group() when verifying group membership
+45) Add NTLMv2 client code (that works) and some SMB signing fixes
+46) Add caching of PRINTER_INFO_2 structures to open printer handles
+47) Add 1/3 second delay in OpenPrinter() reply to trigger a LAN/WAN
+    optimization in Windows 2000 clients
+48) Add "WinXP" to the possible values of the %a variable
+49) 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)
+50) Limit the unix domain sockets used by winbindd (also solves FD_SETSIZE 
+    problem in winbindd to boot !). Adds 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)
+51) Limit the number of print jobs returned in EnumJobs()
