The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS 2.0.0-M20, the 20th 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. This release is a bug fix release. We fixed some random failures on startup, and some fixes in the start scripts, beside many other smaller issues.
