Net::LDAP 0.1.1 / 2010-03-18

  • Fixing a critical problem with sockets.

Net::LDAP 0.1.0 / 2010-03-17

  • Small fixes throughout, more to come.
  • Ruby 1.9 support added.
  • Ruby 1.8.6 and below support removed. If we can figure out a compatible way to reintroduce this, we will.
  • New maintainers, new project repository location. Please see the README.txt.

Net::LDAP 0.0.5 / 2009-03-xx

  • 13 minor enhancements:
    • Added Net::LDAP::Entry#to_ldif
    • Supported rootDSE searches with a new API.
    • Added [preliminary (still undocumented) support for SASL authentication.
    • Supported several constructs from the server side of the LDAP protocol.
    • Added a "consuming" String#read_ber! method.
    • Added some support for SNMP data-handling.
    • Belatedly added a patch contributed by Kouhei Sutou last October. The patch adds start_tls support.
    • Added Net::LDAP#search_subschema_entry
    • Added Net::LDAP::Filter#parse_ber, which constructs Net::LDAP::Filter objects directly from BER objects that represent search filters in LDAP SearchRequest packets.
    • Added Net::LDAP::Filter#execute, which allows arbitrary processing based on LDAP filters.
    • Changed Net::LDAP::Entry so it can be marshalled and unmarshalled. Thanks to an anonymous feature requester who only left the name "Jammy."
    • Added support for binary values in Net::LDAP::Entry LDIF conversions and marshalling.
    • Migrated to ‘hoe’ as the new project droid.
  • 14 bugs fixed:
    • Silenced some annoying warnings in filter.rb. Thanks to "barjunk" for pointing this out.
    • Some fairly extensive performance optimizations in the BER parser.
    • Fixed a bug in Net::LDAP::Entry::from_single_ldif_string noticed by Matthias Tarasiewicz.
    • Removed an erroneous LdapError value, noticed by Kouhei Sutou.
    • Supported attributes containing blanks (cn=Babs Jensen) to Filter#construct. Suggested by an anonymous Rubyforge user.
    • Added missing syntactic support for Filter ANDs, NOTs and a few other things.
    • Extended support for server-reported error messages. This was provisionally added to Net::LDAP#add, and eventually will be added to other methods.
    • Fixed bug in Net::LDAP#bind. We were ignoring the passed-in auth parm. Thanks to Kouhei Sutou for spotting it.
    • Patched filter syntax to support octal \XX codes. Thanks to Kouhei Sutou for the patch.
    • Applied an additional patch from Kouhei.
    • Allowed comma in filter strings, suggested by Kouhei.
    • 04Sep07, Changed four error classes to inherit from StandardError rather Exception, in order to be friendlier to irb. Suggested by Kouhei.
    • Ensure connections are closed. Thanks to Kristian Meier.
    • Minor bug fixes here and there.

Net::LDAP 0.0.4 / 2006-08-15

  • Undeprecated Net::LDAP#modify. Thanks to Justin Forder for providing the rationale for this.
  • Added a much-expanded set of special characters to the parser for RFC-2254 filters. Thanks to Andre Nathan.
  • Changed Net::LDAP#search so you can pass it a filter in string form. The conversion to a Net::LDAP::Filter now happens automatically.
  • Implemented Net::LDAP#bind_as (preliminary and subject to change). Thanks for Simon Claret for valuable suggestions and for helping test.
  • Fixed bug in Net::LDAP#open that was preventing open from being called more than one on a given Net::LDAP object.

  • Added support for RFC-2254 filter syntax.

Net::LDAP 0.0.1 / 2006-05-01

  • Initial release.
  • Client functionality is near-complete, although the APIs are not guaranteed and may change depending on feedback from the community.

  • Please tell us if you would be interested in seeing a public release of the LDAP server.
  • Grateful acknowledgement to Austin Ziegler, who reviewed this code and provided the release framework, including minitar.
