Yes, after months and months, I have decided that it is time to call this release finished. Release 1.6.0 is now the official production version of auth_ldap. You can get it here, and you can also read the change log.

This release improves on the autoconf process. In addition, some of the code has been changed to makeauth_ldap more robust when it is not the only auth module in Apache; there were certain situations whereauth_ldap would segfault if another non-authoritative auth module was also running. Download the new release here.

This release fixes the same memory leak that release 1.4.7 fixed. Get it here.

This release is the first candidate for the upcoming 1.6 version of auth_ldap. In addition to bug fixes, major changes include better support for FrontPage and better compatibility with OpenLDAP 2. Barring any serious bug reports, the next release of auth_ldap will be 1.6.0. Get the latest release here.

I have created a mailing list for auth_ldap. This will be the primary support channel for auth_ldap from now on, and hopefully, the archives will become a useful resource for all auth_ldap users. You can subscribe to the mailing list from the list’s web site.

This release corrects some problems with certain versions of OpenLDAP. The behavior of the ldap_url_parse() function had changed, resulting in bad search scopes. Get the latest version
here.

I have released auth_ldap 1.5.0, which is the first release of the new developers beta test cycle. There are a lot of changes in this release, including one change with the AuthLDAPCacheSize directive that is not backwards compatible with old auth_ldap configurations. The good news is that the old version and the new version had reasonable values for this directive, so most people probably do not use it in their configs. For more information, read the full change log.

This is a beta developers release only! If you are using auth_ldap in a mission-critical production environment, you probably should not be using this release. If you want to assist with testing the next version of auth_ldap please feel free to download it and give me feedback.
