The Samba Team is proud to announce the availability of the
first release candidate of the Samba 3.0.0 code base. A release
candidate implies that the code is very close to a final release,
but remember that this is still a non-production snapshot intended
for testing purposes. Use at your own risk.
One of the main additions in this release is the inclusion of
stable support for both client and server SMB signing.
The source code can be downloaded from :
http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/rc/
The uncompressed tarball and patch file have been signed using
GnuPG. The Samba public key is available at
http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-pubkey.asc
Binary packages will be available soon at
