Check out the announcements on samba.org. 3.0.5 is a security release that contains only a security fix added to 3.0.4 base. What used to be 3.0.5-rc1 will now be called 3.0.6 and an rc2 will be released shortly.

Starting from version 3.0.2 (or .3?) there were a misfeature that caused workgroup names to show up as duplicates in workstations' browse lists. Fix for this didn't reach into 3.0.5-pre1, but rc1 had this fixed.
Today I upgraded 3.0.5-rc1 to 3.0.5-2 (FC2 binary rpm from samba.org) and the problem reappeared.
To be more spesific, the problem appears when there are more that one workgroup in the network. In that case each of the workgroups appear as a correct one, and also as a secondary fake one that contains no computers and which has a name end-padded with blanks to appr. 15 characters. This problem was originally discussed here in May, and a patch was releases soon, AFAIK. Maybe this patch was dropped for some reason (eg. accidentally?) from the final 3.0.5 although it was there in 3.0.5-rc1?
