3 The Samba-Team are committed to an agressive program to deliver quality
4 controlled software to a well defined roadmap.
6 The current Samba release 1.9.18 is called the "Oplock Release"
7 The following development objectives are in place:
8 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 Please Note: Development of the 1.9.19 and 1.9.20 releases is presently
10 well ahead of schedule. This means that the release program
11 may very well change radically from what is outlined below.
13 If present developments continue then 1.9.19 will feature
14 improved authentication and security capabilities as well as
15 the long promised GUI (Web) based management tools.
17 This being the case, then version 2.0 may become the long
18 awaited Windows NT Domain Controller Release and version 2.1
19 will become the Directory Services update.
21 Should 1.9.19 roll out ahead of schedule then there will
22 likely be a delay of up to 6 months before the NT Domain
23 Controller release will be ready for prime-time business use.

26 Version / Codename Notes
27 ------------------ ----------------------------------------------------
28 1.9.19 An authentication update release to offer improved
29 "Auth Code Release" security and password synchronisation capabilities.
30 Also, support for Windows NT specific SMB calls.
32 1.9.20 Introduction of new managment tools
33 "GUI Config Release" Improved multi-language support.
35 2.0 The next generation Directory Services update
38 While no release date or content promises are made we are hoping to release
39 the remainder of the 1.9 series relases within short time frame.
41 Should a budding contributor spring into gear and deliver any of the above
42 ahead of the above release sequence then we reserve the option to make an
43 out of sequence release (but always keeping to a logical sequence code number).
