Hi, The last version of Apache Directory Studio (1.5.2) has been released more than 3 months ago in december 2009.
Since then, several major (and minor) bugs were found and fixed. We've now reach a stage where we think a release of version 1.5.3 can be proposed. Here are the complete release notes from JIRA: Bug * [DIRSTUDIO-424] - Canceling a search gives an error sometimes * [DIRSTUDIO-585] - Do not modify the current thread's ClassLoader; or reset it afterwards * [DIRSTUDIO-608] - Non-translated string in the French version of the "Export Connections" wizard * [DIRSTUDIO-609] - Studio "hangs" when performing large search that is to be displayed * [DIRSTUDIO-610] - Unable to export to "My Documents" * [DIRSTUDIO-611] - Unable to add a third party Entry Editor * [DIRSTUDIO-613] - Certificate with empty common name (cn) appears almost hidden in the preference page table view * [DIRSTUDIO-614] - The 'Installed JREs' preference page is no longer displayed in Apache Directory Studio's preferences * [DIRSTUDIO-615] - Various typos in the french translation * [DIRSTUDIO-616] - Entry Editor Manager does not ensure that the entry's attributes are initialized (loaded) before testing and opening editors * [DIRSTUDIO-617] - Tabular and LDIF Entry Single-Tab Editors should warn the user when modifications are pending (auto-save disabled) and their input is changed * [DIRSTUDIO-623] - NPE in the ModificationLogsViewUniversalListener under rare circumstances when selecting a connection * [DIRSTUDIO-624] - NPE in the SearchLogsViewUniversalListener.java under rare circumstances when selecting a connection * [DIRSTUDIO-627] - Can't open a relatively big LDIF file * [DIRSTUDIO-629] - Entry editor tab is activated when executing a search * [DIRSTUDIO-632] - Endless event loop * [DIRSTUDIO-637] - copy/paste of attributes no longer works * [DIRSTUDIO-639] - Exception when navigation history contains bookmarks of an deleted connection * [DIRSTUDIO-642] - ADS does not remember the certificate if two certificates are used for the same server * [DIRSTUDIO-643] - Missing modules when importing into Eclipse as existing project Improvement * [DIRSTUDIO-612] - The 'Properties' item in the context menu of the default Entry Editor should be enabled and linked to the entry properties when no particular attribute is selected in the table * [DIRSTUDIO-618] - The icon of the entry in the 'Outline' view for the LDIF Entry Editor should be the same as the one in the 'LDAP Browser' view * [DIRSTUDIO-619] - Outline view for the LDIF Entry Editor should display by default the nodes underneath the entry * [DIRSTUDIO-625] - Add Connection Context in the LDAP Browser Window * [DIRSTUDIO-633] - Delete all searches context menu * [DIRSTUDIO-634] - Add search context menu entry / simplify search * [DIRSTUDIO-638] - Improve the way we ask for operational attributes Task * [DIRSTUDIO-635] - Update Eclipse dependencies to version 3.5.2 * [DIRSTUDIO-636] - Update copyright in spash screen to 2010 * [DIRSTUDIO-640] - Support for server.xml file of Apache DS version 1.5.6 * [DIRSTUDIO-641] - Integrate Apache DS version 1.5.6 in the Apache DS plugin Here's the Jira link for this version if you'd like to review issues in more details: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=12310590&fixfor=12314458 A temporary branch and tag has been created (they can be removed if the vote is not approved): https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/studio/branches/release-1.5.3/ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/studio/tags/1.5.3.v20100330/ The newly approved Nexus has been used for the preparation of this release and all final artifacts are stored in a staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachedirectory-002/ I'm currently preparing the final distributions that will be uploaded to the mirrors if this vote is approved.
