Samba 3.0.20rc2 is the next release candidate of the 3.0.20 code
base and is provided for testing purposes only. While close to
the final stable release, this snapshot is not intended for
production servers. If all goes well, this could become the final
3.0.20 release. We would like to ask the Samba
community for help in testing these changes as we work towards
the next official, production Samba 3.0 release. It is strongly
recommended that you read the
changes in this
preview release to learn about smb.conf changes, new features,
etc...
So what happened to 3.0.15 trough 3.0.19? After some
discussion it was deemed that the amount of changes
going into the next Samba 3.0 release needed something to catch
people's attention. Skipping several releases was chosen as
the best solution with the least overhead. There will be no
3.0.15 - 3.0.19 ever released. The next production release
following 3.0.20 should be 3.0.21. You can also read the
original
announcement on the samba mailing list.
The Samba 3.0.20rc2
source code can be downloaded now. The GnuPG
signature for the uncompressed tarball is also available.
Precompiled packages for Fedora Core 4 are available in the
Binary_Packages
download area. Packages for other platforms will be available
shortly.
Samba 3.0.20rc2 is also available via BitTorrent
(samba-3.0.20rc2.tar.gz.torrent).
Note that when downloading via BitTorrent, you are encouraged
to verify the resulting uncompressed tarball's
GPG signature.
