I added notes about the changes I've made to 2.0.0. I put the change to
nmbd default behavior (appending to logs instead of overwriting them) into the "Major Changes" section, but added a "Minor Changes" section for the things that wouldn't affect the running of Samba itself (eg., the splay tree for WINS and the change to DEBUG output).

There have been several major changes in Samba for version 2.0. Here
are some of them:

You now configure Samba by running "./configure" then make. See

Samba now comes with SWAT, a web based GUI config system. See
swat/README for how to set it up.
+5) change to nmbd default logging behavior
+------------------------------------------
+
+The nmbd daemon now appends to pre-existing log files by default. In
+previous releases, nmbd would overwrite old log files. Both nmbd and smbd
+now accept the '-a' and '-o' options, which mean "append" and "overwrite",
+respectively.

+--------------------------
+
+1) timestamps on all log messages
+---------------------------------
+
+Both nmbd and smbd now place timestamp headers on all log messages. The
+headers include the time and the message level. On systems with compilers
+that support the necessary macros, the file & function names and the line
+number (of the call to Debug()) will also be listed.
+
+2) NetBIOS name server has improved database
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The linked list used to store NetBIOS names in the Samba "WINS" database
+has been replaced with a splay-balanced binary tree. This should improve
+speed for installations with very large WINS lists.
+
There have been lots of other changes as well. We'll add them here as
we remember them :)
