samba - Feb 2003 - release-date of 3.0

To the samba-people

when can we expect a stable 3.0 release?
I?ve heard of the massive changes using ldap between 2.2.7a
and 3.0.
Does it make sense to wait for 3.0 to change my systems to ldap?

Thanks!

No firm promises! We are hoping to get 3.0.0 out by mid-April.

3.0.0 has more mature LDAP support, but only you can weigh up the value of
maturity versus the time utility value. One possibility is to start using
the current Alpha versions and update as new Alpha's ship. Here you need
to weigh the risks. Note: We do need good feedback.

Cheers,
John T.

The changes in 3.0 are really not that big - and as far as I know, 100%
backward compatible.  The support is more complete, behaves a bit better
compared to 2.2, and we have some new optional features, but there
shouldn't be any 'upgrade issues'.
