[ANNOUNCE] ApacheDS 2.0.0-M21 released

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

The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS
2.0.0-M21, the 21th milestone towards a 2.0 version.

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 is a bug fix release. We fixed some random failures on
startup, and some fixes in the start scripts, beside many other smaller
issues.

Here is the release note for Apache Directory ApacheDS 2.0.0-M21:
