[ANNOUNCE] Apache Directory Studio 1.5.1 released

[Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot <pa...@apache.org>]

The Apache Directory Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Directory Studio 1.5.1, a bug fix and enhancement update of its Eclipse
based LDAP Browser and Directory client.

You can download Apache Directory Studio 1.5.1 as a standalone RCP
application for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows here:
  http://directory.apache.org/studio/downloads.html

You can install it directly in Eclipse using this update site:
  http://directory.apache.org/studio/update/1.x/

Here are a few highlights of this new version:
 * a bug where a modify operation could be sent to the server when
refreshing the LDAP Browser view
 * correctly handling entries with a hash sign (#) in their DN
 * glitches and performance improvements in the UI
 * typos in the french translation

Developed as a sub-project of the Directory Top Level Project, Apache
Directory Studio is an Eclipse RCP application that takes full advantage of
the benefits inherent in the Eclipse platform. Composed of several Eclipse
(OSGi) plugins, Apache Directory Studio can be easily upgraded with
additional plugins. Apache Directory Studio plugins can even run within a
full installation of Eclipse itself.
Apache Directory Studio contains 6 major features:
 * an LDAP Browser feature
 * an LDIF Editor feature
 * an ACI Editor feature for Apache Directory Server
 * a Schema Editor feature
 * an Apache DS feature
 * an Apache DS Configuration feature
