A couple of unexpected bug have caused us to push this off a few more days. The main reason is that there are a few changes will really should be heavily tested. Therefore I will be doing a 2.2.5 pre1 prerelease. This is not necessarily a release candidate or even a beta release. We just wanted to attract as many testers as possible. If all goes well, we are working towards a official 2.2.5 release sometime next week. Look for the prelease RPM and tarball in the next day or so. The main things we are trying to straightened out are * some missing documentation, * a few linux kernel issues, * various ldap patches, * and possible patch to the recycle bin A small reminder that this is planned to be the last 2.2.x release. The 2.2.x branch has been a fun trip, but 3.0 awaits. :-) Keep your fingers crossed. cheers, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org -- http://www.plainjoe.org "Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed.
