+              WHATS NEW IN Samba 2.2.0
+              ========================
 
-This is the fourth alpha release of the new 2.2.0 codebase
-for Samba. This version must not be run in production.
+This is the official Samba 2.2.0 release. This version of Samba provides
+the following new features and enhancements.
 
-This code will almost certainly have some bugs and is
-intended to help the Samba Team prepare an official 2.2.0
-release.
+Integration between Windows oplocks and NFS file opens (IRIX and Linux
+2.4 kernel only). This gives complete data and locking integrity between
+Windows and UNIX file access to the same data files.
 
-The documentation in this alpha snapshot has been updated and
-converted from Yodl to DocBook 4.1. There are many new parameters
-since 2.0.7 and some defaults have changed. Most of the changes
-are now documented.
-
-This version of Samba will act as a PDC for Win2k clients as
+Ability to act as an authentication source for Windows 2000 clients as
 well as for NT4.x clients.
 
-Several significant bugs have been fixed between alpha3
-and alpha2, these include :
-
-./configure now supports a --with-acl-support that attempts
-to select the correct ACL implementation.
-./confugure now supports a --with-fhs option for the Linux
-file system standard.
-The ACL mapping code has been completely re-written and now
-supports Solaris ACLs and UnixWare ACLs in addition to Linux
-ACLS. IRIX ACL support is currently under development.
-smbmount fixes for Linux only.
-Byte ordering issues with AS/U on HPUX and PC-Netlink on Solaris
-have been fixed. PC-Netlink can now join and authenticate against
-a Samba 2.2 PDC (thanks to the CIFS/9000 Team at HP and Herb Lewis
-at SGI for getting this working).
-Restructuring of all the RPC interface code to allow TALLOC management
-of memory. Preparing for auto-generated RPC code in a future Samba
-release.
-Addition of OS/2 auto printer driver download support from IBM.
-Many scalability improvements in the RPC printing code.
-Merge of the new SAMR code from a TNG snapshot. Many fixes and
-updates since then from Jean-Francois.
-Re-written rpcclient to allow UNIX client upload/download of printer
-drivers.
-Modification to debug system - start to allow "classes" of debug.
-Code from John Reilly @ HP.
-Removed all uses of snprintf (security reasons) - replaced with
-slprintf.
-Password caching code fixed - no more null derefs.
-Prepare to split wildcard handling out for old DOS/Win3.x clients, not
-done yet.
-Changed length of fstring to 256 from 128. Longer filenames handled.
-CUPS integration with new printing backend (patches from Michael Sweet).
-Added ADMIN$ IPC share for AS/U integration.
-Policy handle allocation made per pipename specific.
+Integration with the winbind daemon that provides a single
+sign on facility for UNIX servers in Windows 2000/NT4 networks
+driven by a Windows 2000/NT4 PDC. winbind is not included in
+this release, it currently must be obtained separately. We are
+committed to including winbind in a future Samba 2.2.x release.
+
+Support for native Windows 2000/NT4 printing RPCs. This includes
+support for automatic printer driver download.
+
+Support for server supported Access Control Lists (ACLs).
+This release contains support for the following filesystems: 
+
+    Solaris 2.6+ 
+    SGI Irix 
+    Linux Kernel with ACL patch from http://acl.bestbits.at
+	Linux Kernel with XFS ACL support.
+	Caldera/SCO UnixWare
+	IBM AIX
+	FreeBSD (with external patch)
+
+Other platforms will be supported as resources are
+available to test and implement the encessary modules. If
+you are interested in writing the support for a particular
+ACL filesystem, please join the samba-technical mailing
+list and coordinate your efforts. 
+ 
 On PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) based systems - better debugging
 messages and encrypted password users now have access control verified via
 PAM - Note: Authentication still uses the encrypted password database.

-Several significant bugs have been fixed between alpha2
-and alpha1, these include :
-
-Inclusion of mapping of NT ACLs to Linux ACLs, using the patch
-found at http://acl.bestbits.at.
-
-This is being done via an abstract interface that needs porting
-to the following UNIXes - IRIX, Solaris, HPUX, AIX - as many
-as can be done will be supported at 2.2.0 release. Please look
-at the code in lib/sysacls.c for the needed work.
-
-Addition of tdb spinlock code for tdb speed.
-Addition of user list lookup from Win2k (thanks to the Samba TNG
-branch code for this).
-Addition of generic to specific mapping of security descriptors
-in printer code.
-Addition of code page 857 (Turkish).
-Addition of "%D" substitution for incoming Domain of user.
-getpwnam/getpwuid cache.
