Description

Net_LDAP2 is the successor of Net_LDAP which is a clone of Perls Net::LDAP
object interface to directory servers. It does contain most of Net::LDAPs
features but has some own too.
With Net_LDAP2 you have:
* A simple object-oriented interface to connections, searches entries and filters.
* Support for TLS and LDAP v3.
* Simple modification, deletion and creation of LDAP entries.
* Support for schema handling.

Net_LDAP2 layers itself on top of PHP's existing ldap extensions.

2.0.0RC4 (beta, 2008-10-16)
Release notes

License: LGPL License

* Net_LDAP2_Filter::create*() methods are declared static now
* Net_LDAP2 is able to reconnect now in case link is down during operation (thanks Del)
* Complex updates fail: under some circumstances, $entry->update() will fail. This is
caused by mandatory attributes set and the internal behaviour of Net_LDAP2. A
workaround is documented in the code and in the user manual.
* Bugfixes in Dels patches. Soemtimes there where endless loops and deleting entries
did not always succeed.
* Bugfix to reset unicodePwd (Active Directory): a new $force parameter was introduced to Net_LDAP2_Entry->replace()
that forces "replace" mode. If not set and attribute is empty (or could not be read like in the AD case)
replace() resulted in Net_LDAP2 thinking it should add the attribute. This can now be overriden.
* Bugfix in unit tests: the Net_LDAP2Test suite had huge memory consumtion caused by a little error in
Net_LDAP2->checkLDAPExtension(). If that method is called before any Net_LDAP class was instanciated, a PEAR
error is returned instead of the documented Net_LDAP2_Error which causes the unit test to plot out very much
debug information.
2.0.0RC3 (beta, 2008-06-04)
Release notes

License: LGPL License

* New constructor factory for Entry objects: createExisting()
* Several small improvements
* New method Entry->isNew()
* Net_LDAP2->search() and Net_LDAP2->dnExists() can handle entry objects now
* Added "present" matching rule as stated by RFC 2254 (is an alias of the former "any")
* Bugfix in filter class for approx matching and not combination
* Bugfix for Schema->isBinary() bug if unknown attribute type is requested
2.0.0RC2 (beta, 2008-03-20)
Release notes

License: LGPL License

* Implemented PHP5 language stuff (thanks to Torsten Roehr for his helpful patches)
* Changed Net_LDAP2->_markAsNew() to public access, since this is required by the api
and may be useful to developers too
* Changed API to create schema object, there is now a factory. Net_LDAP2->schema() calls
that factory now instead of fetching the Schema itself
* Changed API to create rootDSE object, there is now a factory. Net_LDAP2->rootDSE() calls
that factory now instead of fetching the rootDSE itself
* Net_LDAP2_Entry has a new factory constructor: createConnected() can be used to
establish a new Net_LDAP2_Entry object that represents an already existing entry inside
some directory
2.0.0RC1 (beta, 2008-03-19)
Release notes

License: LGPL License

/!\ This release is PHP5 only, replacing the Net_LDAP package.
If you still need PHP4 support, use Net_LDAP instead.
* Implemented iterable search results so one can use foreach() with Net_LDAP2_Search objects
* Fixed a problem with Net_LDAP2_LDIF and files with DOS line endings
