ldapconf-0.18.0 release info: ----------------------------- Many improvements and some new handy features which finally should make ldapconf a bit more usable for "real" work. The current release works mostly ok for the developers, but has not yet been tested by any external users. Known bugs exists, documentation still sucks, and more bugs and problems most certainly will show up. User feedback wanted, to detect and give priority to the most urgent problems. Development code is available by anon cvs, write access may be granted to active contributors. Great thanks to Matthieu Araman for adding many useful functions and testing/debugging the openldap-2.x interface.
