The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS 2.0.0-M14, the fourteenth milestone towards a 2.0 version.
ApacheDS is an extensible and embeddable directory server entirely written in Java, which has been certified LDAPv3 compatible by the Open Group. Besides LDAP it supports Kerberos 5 and the Change Password Protocol. It has been designed to introduce triggers, stored procedures, queues and views to the world of LDAP which has lacked these rich constructs.

Note that this is a milestone, and some parts of the API or configuration can change before the 2.0 GA. We don't have any defined time frame for the 2.0-G1 release, we do expect to release a few more milestones before reaching the 2.0-GA.
