[ADS 1.5.1] Release report #3

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

We have missed the last milestone (we were supposed to freeze the code
last sunday), but we won't miss the nexty one : next sunday :)

We have had a very serious issue (DIRSERVER-942) and it took 3 days to
find a correct solution to it. The ggod point is that we have migrated
to MINA 1.1.2, and we had time to fix some more bug in the mean time.

Some more has been postponed to 1.5.2.

5 more issues has been fixed or postponed compared to last friday. We
don't have anymore blockers and critical. (the blocker has been
postponed to 1.5.2).

Fixed since last report :
DIRSERVER-832 : postponed
DIRSERVER-942 : fixed
DIRSERVER-999 : postponed
DIRSERVER-1000 : postponed
DIRSERVER-1027 : fixed

So here are the remaining bugs for 1.5.1 :

13 majors :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-169  : Incorrect
SearchResult name and "compare" failure using CoreContextFactory
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-766  : UniqueMember

3 minors :

alias from a child entry to the ancestor causes an error (return code

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-853 : Ldap ref values

We will try to fix as much bug as possible, then we will postpone the
remaining issues on sunday, and cut the release.
