[ANNOUNCE] Apache DS 2.0.0.AM25 released

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@apache.org>]

The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS
2.0.0.AM25, the 25th milestone towards a 2.0 version, which fixes some issue
in the 2.0.0-M24 release.

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 uses that Apache LDAP API 2.0.0.AM1 release, which fixes many
issues in the data processing. It also fixes the database corruption issue,
as we now have a cross-B-tree transaction system, which means updates are
either fully committed or fully aborted.

We have also fixed a few bugs :

Bugs :
------
* DIRSERVER-2109 - Apply LDIF with special crafted DN creates two CN attributes
* DIRSERVER-2220 - ApacheDS should not log credentials
* DIRSERVER-2231 - NPE in AbstractBTreePartition when cacheService is not used
* DIRSERVER-2234 - Kinit via TCP causes ApacheDS to create a
NioProcessor thread at 100% CPU

Improvements :
--------------
* DIRSERVER-2242 - Keystore change from JKS to PKCS12
* DIRSERVER-2225 - Usage of maven-source-plugin goal jar-no-fork instead of jar
* DIRSERVER-2230 - SCM pointing to gitbox instead of svn
* DIRSERVER-2229 - Remove duplicated declaration of
versions-maven-plugin in pom.xml

Tasks :
-------

* DIRSERVER-2244 - Support AES Encryption with HMAC-SHA2 for Kerberos
5 defined in RFC 8009
