[ANNOUNCE] Apache Directory LDAP API 1.0.0-M33 released

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

The Apache Directory Team is proud to announce the availability of version
1.0.0-M33 of the Apache Directory LDAP API.

The Apache Directory LDAP API is an ongoing effort to provide an enhanced
LDAP API, as a replacement for JNDI and the existing LDAP API (jLdap and
Mozilla LDAP API).

This is a schema aware API, with some convenient ways to access a LDAP
server. This API is not only targeting the Apache Directory Server, but
should work pristine with any LDAP server.

It's also an extensible API : new Controls, schema elements and network
layer could be added or used in the near future. It's also OSGi capable.

A bug fix releases. We have an improved version of the Ldif anonymizer that
handles Change records, and a few other fixes (OID handling...)

Here is the list of fixed issues and added features :
