Gldapo 0.7 Released

Gldapo 0.7 (and a corresponding grails plugin) is now available.

This release primarily fixes some bugs with password attributes and brings the following major features/improvements:

• The addition of an LDAP filter DSL (thanks to Siegfried Puchbauer)
• Drastic improvement to the API for creating and moving objects.
• JavaDoc for commonly used classes (thanks to new GMaven features)

Release Notes

Sub-task

• [GLDP-66] - Base the location of entries in the directory on a ‘parent’ directiory rather than the ‘rdn’ attribute

• [GLDP-70] - Add documentation for @GldapoNamingAttribute
• [GLDP-79] - Raise exception if rdn is set with a different naming attribute

Bug

• [GLDP-76] - Converting raw array values to native (groovy) values with schema-custom mapper raises GldapoTypeMappingException
