+This is the first preview release of Samba 4.4.  This is *not*
 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
 purposes only.  Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
 
-Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
+Samba 4.4 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
+
+
+UPGRADING
+=========
+
+Nothing special.
 
-Authentication Changes:
-o Changed the way smbd handles untrusted domain names given during user
-  authentication
+NEW FEATURES
+============
 
-Authentication Changes
-======================
+Flush requests from SMB2/3 clients are handled asynchronously and do
+not block the processing of other requests. Note that 'strict sync'
+has to be set to 'yes' for Samba to honor flush requests from SMB
+clients.
 
-Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
-untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
-domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
-using that DOMAIN\user name.  This differed from how a Windows member server
-would behave.  Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name.  In
-the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user.  In the case
-where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
-Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
-with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
+WINS nsswitch module
+====================
 
-While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
-on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification.  A new
-parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
-behavior.
+The WINS nsswitch module has been rewritten to address memory issues and to
+simplify the code. The module now uses libwbclient to do WINS queries. This
+means that winbind needs to be running in order to resolve WINS names using
+the nss_wins module. This does not affect smbd.

+  to MonitorTimeoutCount
+
+  It has only ever been used to limit timed-out monitor events.
+
+  Configurations containing CTDB_SET_EventScriptTimeoutCount=<n> will
+  cause CTDB to fail at startup.  Useful messages will be logged.
