The Apache Directory Team is proud to announce the availability of the 1.0.0-M29 version of the Apache Directory LDAP API.
The Apache Directory LDAP client API is an ongoing effort to provide an enhanced LDAP API, as a replacement for JNDI and the existing LDAPAPI (jLdap and Mozilla LDAP API). This is a schema aware API, with some convenient ways to access a LDAP server. This API is not only targeting the Apache Directory Server, but should work pristine with any LDAP server. It's also an extensible API : new Controls, schema elements and network layer could be added or used in the near future. It's also OSGi capable. Another bug fix release, with a few new fonctionalities being added : - a LDIF anonymizer - VLV support Here is the list of fixed issues : Bugs : ------ * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-100 Implement the GSSAPI SASL Bind mechanism * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-107 LdifReader missing attributes * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-219 DateUtils.toGeneralizedTime does not work with some Locales * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-220 The FilterEncoder.encodeFilterValue() does not accept escaped hex values like \2A * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-223 The SchemaObject extension key should be case-insensitive * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-226 Injecting non pure ASCII values into a HR attribute read from a LDIF does not work Improvements : -------------- * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-46 Add a generic schema loader which looks for schema elements under the value of the 'subschemaSubentry' of the RootDSE * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-225 Add a LDIF anonymizer that takes a LDIF file and replace the value with random text New features : -------------- * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-165 Add a FilterBuillder * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-224 Add support for the VLV control Feel free to experiment, we highly appreciate your feedback !
