+                Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5pre1
+                            May 25, 2004
+                =================================
+		 
+This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.5 code base and is
+provided for testing only.  This release is *not* intended for
+production servers.  Use at your own risk.
+
+There have been several bug fixes since the 3.0.4 release that
+we feel are important to make available to the Samba community
+for wider testings.  See the "Changes" section for details on
+exact updates.
+
+Common bugs fixed in Samba 3.0.4 include:
+
+  o Schannel failure in winbindd.
+  o Numerous memory leaks.
+  o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user'
+    smb.conf options.
+
+ATTENTION! NEW BEHAVIOR!
+-------------------------
+
+Beginning with Samba 3.0.5pre1, clients supporting the UNIX 
+extensions to the CIFS protocol can create symlinks to 
+absolute paths which will be **followed** by the server.  This 
+functionality has been requested in order to correctly support 
+certain applications when the user's home directory is mounted 
+using some type of CIFS client (e.g. the cifsvfs in the Linux 
+2.6 kernel).
+
+If this behavior is not acceptable for your production environment
+you can set 'wide links = no' in the specific share declaration in 
+the server's smb.conf.  Be aware that disabling wide link support 
+out of a share in Samba may impact the server's performance due 
+to the fact that smbd will now have to check each path additional 
+times before traversing it.
