The Samba-Team are committed to an agressive program to deliver quality
controlled software to a well defined roadmap.

The current Samba release 1.9.18 is called the "Oplock Release"
The following development objectives are in place:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please Note: Development of the 1.9.19 and 1.9.20 releases is presently
well ahead of schedule. This means that the release program
may very well change radically from what is outlined below.
The current Samba release 2.0.0 is called the "Domain Client Release"

If present developments continue then 1.9.19 will feature
improved authentication and security capabilities as well as
the long promised GUI (Web) based management tools.
It correctly implements the Windows NT specific SMB calls,
and will operate correctly as a client in a Windows NT
Domain environment.

This being the case, then version 2.0 may become the long
awaited Windows NT Domain Controller Release and version 2.1
will become the Directory Services update.
In addition, the first implementation of the Web-based GUI
management tool ships with 2.0.0, thus fullfilling some of
the commitments made in the 1.9.18 release Roadmap document.

Should 1.9.19 roll out ahead of schedule then there will
likely be a delay of up to 6 months before the NT Domain
Controller release will be ready for prime-time business use.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some work has been done on ensuring compatibility with
Windows NT 5.0 (now Windows 2000 :-) although this is
a somewhat (slowly) moving target.

Version / Codename Notes
------------------ ----------------------------------------------------
1.9.19 An authentication update release to offer improved
"Auth Code Release" security and password synchronisation capabilities.
Also, support for Windows NT specific SMB calls.
The following development objectives for future releases
are in place:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.0.x - "NT Security update" - Allowing Windows NT Clients to
manipulate file security and ownership using native tools.

1.9.20 Introduction of new managment tools
"GUI Config Release" Improved multi-language support.
2.0.xx - "Thin Server" mode, allowing a Samba server to be
inserted into a network with no UNIX setup required.
Some management capabilities for Samba using native NT tools.

2.0 The next generation Directory Services update
"DSA Release"
2.X - "Domain Controller" - able to serve as a Windows NT PDC.

While no release date or content promises are made we are hoping to release
the remainder of the 1.9 series relases within short time frame.
X.XX - "Full Domain Integration" - allowing both PDC and BDC modes.

Should a budding contributor spring into gear and deliver any of the above
ahead of the above release sequence then we reserve the option to make an
out of sequence release (but always keeping to a logical sequence code number).
Note that it is a given that the Samba Team will continue to track
Windows (NT/2000) update releases, ensuring that Samba will work
well with whatever "Beta" releases Redmond throws our way :-).

You may also note that the release numbers get fuzzier the
further into the future the objectives get. This is intentional
as we cannot yet commit to exact timeframes.
