Tim,

In addition to my previous mail, in PLA 1.2 the backend rendering was 
also overhauled - the backend rendering is responsible for both the 
creation/editing of entries (the displaying of values and configuration 
of the HTML form), as well as rendering search results. The result of 
this work enabled the addition of additional (multi value) binary 
attributes (including jpegPhoto), as well as the consistent rendering of 
all attributes - a great improvement on what was done previously.

There is more work that can be done to the search presentation (ajax 
wise), as well as overall ajax improvements in general.

1) The simple search form wasnt ported into 1.2 - however, if it is 
definitely a useful feature then either submit a enhancement request, or 
patch for it to be included. It should be relatively easy to put back

2) It can appear by pressing "search" again :) But yes, this is an 
improvement that can be made.

3) See 2

4) There has been discussion on the templates in the mailing list 
already. Some points:
* A template is "eligible" to be used to edit an entry - not to force an 
entry to be edited with it. (The default template is also an eligible 
template).
* The default template can be disabled via the configuration, if you 
dont want it used.
* A template without a regexp definition is available to edit all 
entries (define a regexp if you want this used in a specific context)
* If there is only 1 "eligible" template for an entry, it is selected 
automatically.
* If there is more than 1 template available to edit an entry, PLA asks 
you which one to use (and remembers it for the session, unless you purge 
cache, or switch to another).

For the record, this is not different to how it was done in 1.1 - except 
that in 1.1 no "enabled" modification templates were supplied, so you 
always were given the default template.

5) This is a minor bug I am aware of, but havent figured out how to fix. 
(Its to do with the backend rendering of password attributes, and 
determination if the attribute has changed value after encryption). In 
the mean time, you can "skip" this attribute from being updated, if you 
didnt change it. If you figure out how to fix it, then submit a patch :)
