| NOTE: Regarding ApacheDS Releases |
| |
| We use even minor numbers to denote stable releases and release branches |
| where new features are not added but only bug fixes are made. Odd numbered |
| releases and branches are for experimental feature release branches of which |
| several releases may occur. For example after 0.9 below there may be 0.9.1, |
| 0.9.2 ... 0.9.n et. cetera. until there is a feature freeze and a stable |
| release is created like 0.10. |
| |

| |
| Changes in 0.9.1 (since 0.9) |
| ============================ |
| o Used SpringFramework to demonstrate runtime configuration |
| o Removed dependency on AspectJ within the core |
| o Started using SLF4J and NLog4J eventually to replace commons logging |
| o Enabled multiple instances to exist for a single JVM |
| o Added support for multiple calls to InitialContext with different principals |
| o Added ContextFactoryService interface that gives user more control to |
| available ContextFactories in a JVM. |
| o Refactoring ... |
| o Created new partition package placing all store related classes there |
| (see org.apache.ldap.server.partition) |
| o JdbmDatabase is replaced with JdbmContextPartition to simplify its design. |
| o Made CoreContextFactory more extensible using pre post stage hooks |
| o Simplified property based configuration using POJOs |
| (see org.apache.ldap.server.configuration) |
| o Extracted JNDI configuration management into JNDI Utils |
| o Using separate configuration beans for shutdown, sync and startup |
| o Redesigned Interceptor interface to be more user-friendly so that |
| Intereceptor implementations look cleaner. |
| o Fixed bugs |
| o DIREVE-155 |
| o DIREVE-175 |
| |
| Changes in 0.9 (since 0.8) |
| ========================== |
| |
| o Added Preferences implementation for system settings (user Prefs not done) |
| o Added support for JNDI state factories and object factories |
| o Added schema support for object and state factories - plugin is prep'd for |
| generating these from schema definitions and domain models: code to do this |
| just needs to be added. |
| o Added factory.hints property to help drive the selection of a object |
| factory when there are multiple alternatives |
| o Added Authenticator (thanks to Endi) |
| o Added support for multiple types of custom backends (thanks to Endi) |
| o 0.9 now uses MINA instead of apseda for massive performance and concurrency |
| gains. MINA is the network layer for Apache Directory. |
| o Revamped interceptor factory: interceptors easier to manage and to add |
| custom interceptors. Design is similar to filter chaining. Excellent |
| feature that makes extending and configuring interceptors for the server |
| a breeze. |
| o Several performance improvements |
| o Refactored and cleaned up APIs in general |
| o Several documentation improvements were made with slight revamp and the |
| addition of docs for new features |
| o Perhaps the latest most exciting feature is the addition of the Kerberos |
| provider plugin which is a full Kerberos V service listening by default on |
| port 88. The plugin uses the Directory Network layer (MINA) to service |
| UDP and TCP requests to the KDC and it uses the ApacheDS DIT to store its |
| entires without any netork latency or unnecessary security exposure. |
| o Fixed bugs with filter parser in LDAP common affecting server |
| o Fixed issues with authenticating to server |
| o Corrected broken simple authentication and annonymous binds |
| o Cleaned up user partition creation and configurationn |
| o Created and added better user and developer guide information |
| o Corrected case problems with attribute type names |
| o Added proper ou=schema presentation of schema objects |
| o Added Samba schema |
| o Created and added new distinguished name normalized |
| o Added DHCP schema |
| o Fixed bug when trying to shutdown the server via JNDI |
| o Changed package structure to accomodate growth better |
| o We now try to take next available port if user does not have access rights |
| for 389 or the alt port specified is already in use |
| o Moved logic to start up LDAP and Kerberos providers out into main |
| subproject, leaving a new base class for a context factory implementation |
| called the CoreContextFactory |
| o Exited incubator so all groupIds were finalized |
| o Rearranged the SVN repository to reflect better project demarcations |
