+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/.
 
-Samba 4.3 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
+Samba 4.4 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
 
 
 UPGRADING
 =========
 
+Nothing special.
 
 NEW FEATURES
 ============
 
-The logging code now supports logging to multiple backends.  In
-addition to the previously available syslog and file backends, the
-backends for logging to the systemd-journal, lttng and gpfs have been
-added. Please consult the section for the 'logging' parameter in the
-smb.conf manpage for details.
+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.
 
-Spotlight
-=========
-
-Support for Apple's Spotlight has been added by integrating with Gnome
-Tracker.
+WINS nsswitch module
+====================
 
-For detailed instructions how to build and setup Samba for Spotlight,
-please see the Samba wiki: <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight>
+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.
