10are in progress:
11----------------------------------------------------------------------------
12Samba-3.0.20	The release that is focussing on scalability and domain

14				update notes.

16Samba-3.0.x		Improvements in Management and Migration tools, &
17				general code stabilization work. It is recommended to use

29Note that it is a given that the Samba-Team will continue to track
30Windows (NT/200x) update releases, ensuring that Samba will work
31well with whatever "Beta" releases Redmond throws our way :-).
32
33You may also note that the release numbers get fuzzier the
34further into the future the objectives get. This is intentional
35as we cannot commit to exact timeframes.
