[review] Announcement for ADS 1.5.3
Hi guys,
Pierre-Arnaud has written this draft for ADS 1.5.3 (I have added some
infos describing what this version brings).
Please feel free to send us any comment before we post this announcement
to the ML and the ASF announce ML.
Thanks !
-------------- For review -----------------------
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.
The latest release is now available here:
http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/downloads.html

No need we can just announce 1.5.4. Best not to mention 1.5.3 :-).
Kidding but not worth the time I think.

Hi guys,
I'm realizing now that the 1.5.3 release has _never_ been announced !!!
And considering the horrific regression in the Modify operation we
found, it may be a good thing :)
Let's announce 1.5.3 release in the 1.5.4 announce.
wdyt ?
