[ANNOUNCE] Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0-M7 released

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

The Apache Directory Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Directory Studio 2.0.0-M7, the sixth milestone release of the version
2.0 of its Eclipse based LDAP Browser and Directory client.

You can download Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0-M7 as a standalone RCP
application for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows at:
http://directory.apache.org/studio

You can also install it directly in Eclipse using this update site:
http://directory.apache.org/studio/update/2.x/

Here are a few highlights of this new version:
* A major new addition is the ability to store connection passwords in
a password-protected keystore, rather than in plain text on disk.
* The LDAP Servers and ApacheDS 2.0 Configuration plugins have been
updated with the latest and greatest ApacheDS (version 2.0.0-M12).
* The update site problem where Apache Directory Studio fails to
install correctly has been fixed.
