[ANNOUNCE] Apache Directory LDAP API 1.0.0-M22 released

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

The Apache Directory Team is proud to announce the availability of the
1.0.0-M22 version of the Apache Directory LDAP API.

The Apache Directory LDAP client 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.


Here is the release note for Apache Directory LDAP API 1.0.0-M22:
