That's the long term plan. 3.0 is just maintained for your convenience. Please note that 3.4 is still in preparation (pre-release). > Introducing new bugs like #6263 in a new 'historical' version (=3.2.10) > really kills the willing of management to have Samba servers in production > environments. Samba is an Open Source project. That means, a great portion of work is done during the spare time of the devolpers and volunteers. Please feel free to help us testing and report your results. Improving the automated testing would be nice either. The code change between 3.2.9 is really small and it was not the intention to introduce the bug, but maybe it happened.
