1 WHATS NEW IN 1.9.17alpha1 - May 21st 1997.
2 ==========================================
4 Improved browsing support.
5 --------------------------
7 Samba now should support propagation of browse lists
8 across subnets correctly. Look in the file docs/BROWSING.txt
9 as it has been largely re-written to explain how to do this.
11 Thanks to Silicon Graphics for allowing us to test the new
12 code on their corporate network.
14 Improved share mode handling
15 ----------------------------
17 The handling of share modes has been completely rewritten.
18 Samba can now run agressive PC Benchmarks (Ziff-Davis
19 NetBench) correctly with many hundreds of concurrent PC's.
20 The confidence level on share mode handling in Samba
21 is now much higher than it was previously. PC database
22 packages should be much safer when run against a
23 Samba share. Thanks to Silicon Graphics for testing
26 If at all possible compile Samba to use the new share
27 mode handling with shared memory (set the flags
28 FAST_SHARE_MODES in the Makefile). This will be *much* faster
29 than old file-based share modes. FAST_SHARE_MODES have
30 been turned on by default on the following platforms in
39 Updated smb.conf documentation
40 ------------------------------
42 All options are now documented we believe.
44 Many small bugfixes and improvements

46 From around the 'net around the world. Many
