The Samba-TNG team is pleased to announce the release of Samba-TNG 0.4.99. This release is considered beta code.

Important changes between 0.4 and 0.4.99:

• Security: CVE-2004-0686, CVE-2004-0815, CVE-2004-0930
• Unicode on the wire is not new, but it's now completly supported. Put a “unicode = yes” in smb.conf to test it
• New utilities: smbsend and convert_fs_charset
• Major update of the manpages and HTML docs, still in progress
• Major work on the file server code
• Lots of small cleanups and fixes
• Removed support for loadable vfs modules. This support has been broken for quite awhile and nobody noticed, so apparently nobody uses it.
