[ANNOUNCE] ApacheDS 2.0.0-M6 released

[Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot <pa...@apache.org>]

The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS
2.0.0-M6, the sixth milestone toward 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.

Here is the release note for Apache Directory ApacheDS 2.0.0-M6:
* [DIRSERVER-1644] - User provided value is not retained during rename
operation
* [DIRSERVER-1681] - adding entries with attribute userCertificate;binary
fails with "No such attribute"
* [DIRSERVER-1692] - Unable to add a JPEG image to an entry due to an
'Invalid Attribute Syntax' error
* [DIRSERVER-1693] - Renaming an entry when the RDN uses a case insensitive
AT should be possible
* [DIRSERVER-1694] - Renaming an existing entry with a DN containing upper
cased chars will not store the CN as provided
* [DIRSERVER-1696] - Creation of an entry like cn=test1+cn=test2, ou=system
should not be allowed
* [DIRSERVER-1699] - DN/RDN handling is incorrect when there are some
escaped values into them
* [DIRSERVER-1700] - Version in Root DSE is reported as '${pom.version}'

Note that this is a milestone, and some parts of the API or configuration
can change before the 2.0 GA. We don't have any defined time frame for the
2.0-G1 release, we do expect to release a few more milestones before
reaching the 2.0-GA.
