The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS 1.5.3.
ApacheDS is an 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 version is mainly a bug fix version, which also bring some new installers (for Solaris and tar.gz installers), more performance, and NTLM authentication (some external package must be downloaded). 40 issues has also been fixed since the last relase, 1.5.2. ADS 1.5.3 is not a definitive version, as we are working in an unstable branch, and there may be some modification in the configuration or features in the next 1.5.x versions. However, this is the most stable version of the Apache Directory Server.
