- ==========================
  The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved

+ Major changes since 8.0
  =======================
- The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling reasons
+ * TBD
- not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they want because of
- the Samba and PHP versions constituted a compelling reason.
- Samba 3.4.3: has been updated from sources provided by ClearOS.
- This version of samba provides support for Windows 7 domain logins.
- PHP 5.2.10: is provided by the Red Hat Application Stack v2.
-.2 is needed by recent web applications such as OScommerce.
- LDAP authentication: third party applications can authenticate against
- SME Users passwords. LDAP is still read only, built automatically
- from SME databases.
