Hi Directory developers,

LDAP Studio 0.7.0 has been released a month ago. It has been a really great
release that has been downloaded more than 2500 times from the stats we have
on the webiste (which does not include the update site itself).
We're getting more and more users to know LDAP Studio and also great reviews
and very important bug reports from these users.

We think that it is the good timing to release LDAP Studio 0.8.0 (according
to the work that has been done, and Apache Con Europe approaching).

This release fixes some crucial bugs in LDAP Browser Plugin and the Schemas
Editor Plugin.
This release also features two new plugins exclusively intended to be used
with Apache Directory:
- the ACI Item Editor Plugin, that makes it easy to edit ACIs on ADS.
- the Apache DS Configuration Plugin, that allow ADS users to
graphically edit the configuration of their server.

Here are the Release Notes for Apache Directory LDAP Studio 0.8.0:
Bug
[DIRSTUDIO-71] - LDAP Studio installer creates bad shortcuts
[DIRSTUDIO-74] - empty DN does not work
[DIRSTUDIO-82] - Export to XLS or CSV
[DIRSTUDIO-83] - Generated LDIF of a schema doesn't support the
m-dependencies attribute
[DIRSTUDIO-84] - Binding with a bad DN is accepted
[DIRSTUDIO-86] - No way to specify search on rootDSE in search dialog
[DIRSTUDIO-88] - Schema export to Apache DS has a spelling error which
causes the import to fail.

Improvement
[DIRSTUDIO-78] - Refactor browser-ui plugin

New Feature
[DIRSTUDIO-12] - Editor for editing ACIs
[DIRSTUDIO-76] - Value editor for administrativeRole
[DIRSTUDIO-79] - Value editor for subtreeSpecification
[DIRSTUDIO-91] - Add a new plugin for handling the Apache DS server
configuration file


Stefan Seelmann has prepared all the packages for Mac OS X, Linux i386,
Linux PPC and Windows (Many thanks, Stefan). They are available at this
address : http://people.apache.org/~seelmann/ldapstudio_0.8.0/<http://people.apach
e.org/%7...apstudio_0.8.0/>

Let's vote now:
[ ] +1 Release LDAP Studio 0.8.0
[ ] +/-0 Abstain
[ ] -1 Do not release LDAP Studio 0.8.0

Best regards,

Pierre-Arnaud

PS:
I've CC'd Leandro de Oliveira and Boris Kock to this mail. It would be cool,
guys, if you could confirm that
*DIRSTUDIO-71<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-71>
* is correctly resolved with the new Windows installer.
Thanks.<boris.kock-iKsOTpgdUR76V6G2DxALlg@public.gmane.org>

Hi PAM,

I have a question: Will this one (although related to the server)

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-913

be included as well? It is crucial to make the LDIF exports for ApacheDS
work with the current 1.5.1 SNAPSHOT, because syntax checking for
boolean is enabled then.

By the way, I used LDAP Studio in my ApacheDS talk at the German JAX
conference this week in Wiesbaden and the audience was apparently very
impressed.

Greetings from Hamburg,
Stefan Z.

Yes, I integrated the latest version of the ADS libraries.  All "Directory
Shared" dependencies are up to date and generates correct LDIF with 'TRUE'
instead of 'true', as well as the new m-length attribute used for storing
syntax length.

That's very cool... I looked at the slides you posted on the users ML and I
saw the screenshot of LS in the last pages. ... But unfortunately I could
not understand the presentation itself, I learned Spanish instead of German
as second foreign language at school... 

Regards,

Pierre-Arnaud

great job, guys ! This is a very impressive work you have done !

I'm sure that people will use it... What possibly can you add to 1.0, as
0.8.0 is almost perfect ;)

I failed to learn French (I tried half a year at school). I succeeded in
learning Latin, which is unfortunately completely useless in the web :-)

The screen shots on the slide are just an eye-catcher for those who have
not attended my talk (there were 1900+ participants in Wiesbaden and
200+ talks in several parallel tracks) and look at the slides afterwards
(they get a DVD with all the presentations). In my talk, I showed your
tools in a short life demo, of course ... You really do a great job with
these plugins!

Greetings,
Stefan

[X] +1 Release LDAP Studio 0.8.0

Seelmann and PAM,

Penrose team uses an automated ant script to build the .dmg (mac) when
you run penrose build script.Let me know if you are thinking about
automating the .dmg binaries build for LDAP Studio.

Hi Jim,

We're really interested by that!

Does this work on a machine that is not running OS X ?

Thanks,

Pierre-Arnaud
