Hi, i visited wiki.samba.org and read the "Release Planning for Samba 3.2" information and the "Release Planning for Samba 3.3" information. So my question is: Is samba 3.2 development stopped and all concentration given to Samba 3.3 ? Because there isnt any further release note available for 3.2, but instead there are some notes for 3.3 ? Bye and thanks for your information :-) Andy

My only concern is keeping up with and determining what is appropriate as I continue to maintain AIX binaries on my web page. Presently I have already dropped the 3.0 series and have 3.2.4 available with the clustering option for AIX 5.3 and 6.1. I am trying to determine how best to support a 3.2 and 3.3 parallel set or if I should just drop 3.2 after 3.3.1 is released or some other arbitrary schedule. :-) :-) How long after 3.3 is released to production does the Samba team anticipate supporting the 3.2 line? Much appreciation and thanks to all on the Team!

And, of course, thanks to Karolin, Jerry and the rest of the Samba team. I think I will attempt a parallel 3.2, 3.3 release for those who are not ready to make a jump right away to a new relase.
