* Version 1.1.5 (stable) - API 1.1.2 (stable) - 2009-07-03

* Ported the fix (RFC-1777) in connect() from Net_LDAP2 v2.0.3

* Version 0.1 (beta) - API 0.1 (beta) - 2003-06-23

Initial release

* Version 0.2 (beta) - API 0.2 (beta) - 2003-08-23

Fixed a lot of bugs that jumped in during the pearification process

* Version 0.3 (beta) - API 0.3 (beta) - 2003-09-21

More bug squashing! Much better errorhandling in the -search() function.
                   Also, all errors that create a Pear_error now includes the errornumber if
                   appropriate (i.e. it was an ldap generated error).

* Version 0.4 (beta) - API 0.4 (beta) - 2003-10-01

Many more bugfixes. Jan Wagner fixed the shift_entry function.
                   Also a new Net_LDAP_Entry::modify function has been added that goes far making a simple way to modify entries.

* Version 0.5 (beta) - API 0.5 (beta) - 2003-10-11

Jan Wagner Contributed a new RootDSE object and a Schema object and some fixes to the Net_LDAP::search() method
                   The new Net_ldap_entry::modify() method seems to work very nice now.

* Version 0.6 (beta) - API 0.6 (beta) - 2003-10-17

New Net_LDAP::ArrayUTF8Decode and Net_LDAP::ArrayUTF8Encode functions. These are used by the Net_LDAP::Entry objects to ensure that things work ok.

* Version 0.6.3 (beta) - API 0.6.3 (beta) - 2003-11-12

It seems that 0.6.2 was out too fast. So this is mainly a bugfix release:
                   - Removed remaining Net_LDAP::UTF8Encode and Net_LDAP::UTF8Decode calls in Net_LDAP_Entry,
                     which stopped attributes() and get_entry() from working
                   - The UTF8 functions somehow got outside the Net_LDAP class ... FIXED.
                   - The usuage example of the last release was wrong. We decided to move UTF8 handling into Net_LDAP.
                     Handling should be done this way:

                         $attr = $ldap-utf8Encode($attr);
                         $entry-modify($attr);
                         $attr = $ldap-utf8Decode( $entry-attributes() );
                   - This means Net_LDAP_Util is useless right now, but will be extended in the future.
                   - Jan did a complete overhaul of the phpdoc stuff. Everything seems to be fine now with phpDocumentor.

* Version 0.7.0 (beta) - API 0.7.0 (beta) - 2007-02-05

This long awaited release of Net_LDAP features more stability and new functionality.
                   The main changes are:
                   - Rewrite of much of the code (including some api changes!)
                   - LOTS of fixed bugs!
                   - New class for easy filter handling (Net_LDAP_Filter)
                   - Sorting support for searchresults (including multivalued sorting!)
                   - Searched Entries can now be fetched as_struct() (array)!
                   - Some memory optimizations

                   Please note also that Net_LDAPs configuration changed slightly. Please see $_config in LDAP.php for the new parameters.

* Version 0.7.1 (beta) - API 0.7.0 (beta) - 2007-02-23

This is not just a bugfix release of 0.7.0 but also introduces some internal optimisations:
                   - Fixed a connection bug whith LDAP V3 only servers
                   - clearer sanitizing of the host config parameter

* Version 0.7.2 (beta) - API 0.7.2 (beta) - 2007-05-07

This release features some internal code movements to be more compatible to PERL::Net_LDAP.
               The movements include:
                  * Removed UTF8 en-/decoding stuff from Net_LDAP_Utils class since this was moved to Net_LDAP class in 0.6.6
                  * Moved Filter encoding from Net_LDAP_Filter to Net_LDAP_Util
                  * Moved ldap_explode_dn_escaped() from Net_LDAP_Entry to Net_LDAP_Util
                  * Added perls functions from Net_LDAP::Util to our Util class, but they still need some work
               Please note that ldap_explode_dn_escaped() is not available from Net_LDAP_Entry anymore.

               Additionally some new functionality has been introduced:
                  * You can now apply regular expressions directly to a entrys attributes
                    and don't need to fetch the attribute values manually.
                  * Net_LDAP_Schema can check if a attributes syntax is binary

               The following bugs have been resolved:
                  * Connections to LDAP servers that forbid anonymous binds are possible again
                  * The JPEG attribute is now properly returned as binary value instead of string
                  * If the array describing selected attributes in searches didn't contain consecutive keys, there was a problem sometimes
                  * Some PHP5 return issues

* Version 0.7.3 (beta) - API 0.7.2 (beta) - 2007-06-12

This release introduces some example files showing you in detail how to work with Net_LDAP.
                   Additionally, a bug at recursive deletion of an entry is fixed and the Net_LDAP_Filter
                   class is slightly optimized.

* Version 1.0.0RC1 (beta) - API 1.0.0RC1 (beta) - 2007-06-20

Again some small Bugfixes, most notably a bug within $ldap->modify() that occured when using the
                    combined 'changes' array.
                    Besides that, $search->popEntry() and the corresponding alias pop_entry() has been implemented.
                    Net_LDAP_Util::unescape_filter_value() is available too now and Net_LDAP_Util::escape_filter_value()
                    can handle ASCII chars smaller than 32. Above that, Net_LDAP_Util::canonical_dn() has been fully implemented.
                    A new method createFresh() was added to Net_LDAP_Entry, so creation of initial entries is more
                    standardized and clearer.
                    A new example is available, describing the $ldap->modify() method.
                    The add_entry.php example was updated, it shows the use of Net_LDAP_Entry::createFresh().
                    $ldap->add() links unlinked entries now to the connection used for the add.
                    Some new additional utility functions are available in Net_LDAP_Util to assist you in handling attributes and dns.
                    The LDAP-Rename command now uses this functions to deal with DN escaping issues.
                    Please note that ldap_explode_dn_escaped() is not available from Net_LDAP_Util anymore; it got superseeded by Net_LDAP_Util::ldap_explode_dn().

* Version 1.0.0RC2 (beta) - API 1.0.0RC2 (beta) - 2007-06-28

Net_LDAP->dnExists() uses the Util class now, which makes it safer.
                A new move() method is available from Net_LDAP.
                Please note, that the copy() method was removed from the Net_LDAP_Entry class since
                people would expect attribute moving because of the overall API of Net_LDAP.
                Instead use the more failsafer copy() from Net_LDAP.

* Version 1.0.0RC3 (beta) - API 1.0.0RC3 (beta) - 2007-07-24

Fixed a bug with dnExists() that was caused mainly by bad behavior of Net_LDAP_UTIL::ldap_explode_dn().
Fixed a bug with call time pass-by-reference if calling $entry->update(); however this inflicted a API change:
The parameter $ldap is not available anymore, you need to use $entry->setLDAP() prior update now if you want to change the LDAP
object. This brought us a more logical API now, since Entry operations should be performed by the Net_LDAP object.

* Version 1.0.0RC4 (beta) - API 1.0.0RC4 (beta) - 2007-09-18

- Fixed some minor bugs of RC3
- Reintroduced $ldap parameter for
$entry-update(), but it is not prefferred to use this way.
    The Parameter is there for perl interface compatibility

* Version 1.0.0 (stable) - API 1.0.0 (stable) - 2007-10-29

After more than four years of development, we are very proud to announce the
        ~ FIRST STABLE Net_LDAP RELEASE 1.0.0 ~

            * Added Net_LDAP tests
            * Changed API of Net_LDAP->copy() to only accept Net_LDAP_Entry objects, because with DNs
            Attribute values will be lost

* Version 1.1.1 (stable) - API 1.1.1 (stable) - 2008-03-19
