VERSION 1.4 - AUGUST 18, 1999
=============================
This is primarily a bug fix release, however there are 5 new methods
introduced as well. Brief descriptions follow in this document. To get
full examples and a larger summary, see the PerLDAP Programmer's Guide.
New Methods Added
-----------------
Entry.pm:
* getValues() - returns the array of values.
* move() - move one attribute to another, and delete the original.
* copy() - copy one attribute to another.
Conn.pm:
* browse() - makes it easy to browse an entry.
* compare() - compare an attribute value against a DN/entry
without having to do the search.
Bug Fixes and other changes
---------------------------
Entry.pm:
* addDNValue() - fixed wrong index for norm.
* matchValue() - fixed missing normalization in half of case statement.
* setValue() - remove _delete_ flag if set, fix for saving state.
* STORE - fixed not ignoring the internal instance variables properly.
* Fixed numerous bugs for large attribute sets.
* Fixed bug 4368 ("exists vs. EXISTS").
* Fixed several loop bugs.
* Removed all _self_obj_ references, it's obsolete in this
version.
* We support each() and keys() now on the Entry object, to loop
through all attribute names (types).
Conn.pm:
* close() - fixed memory leak.
* modifyRDN() - fixed problem where we weren't updating the
appropriate DN in the self object.
* Fixed bug 3342 (problems adding entries with binary data).
* getErrorCode()/getErrorString() - return LDAP_SUCCESS if no
LDAP connection handle.
* add() - fixed code to handle hash array as docs indicate.
* update() - optimization for "replace" vs "add/delete", we try to
use whatever LDAPMod is most efficient.
LDIF.pm:
* Complete rewrite, by John Kristian <kristian@netscape.com>.
API.xs:
* Fixed memory allocation problems, replacing all memory management
routines. This solves all known issues with ActiveState Perl.
* More safety checks around calls to *_free().
Miscellaneous
-------------
* Various other optimizations on tests and such.
* Fixed most (all?) known memory leaks.
* Fixed a lot of problems with Makefile.PL, adding some new targets
(like "make html"). Add a skeleton to "make test".
* Fixed numerous small bugs, as reported to Mozilla.
* We produce less warnings now, and try to "use strict" when
appropriate.
* We have a new versioning scheme, conforming to standard
Perl. We'll change this again when Perl's new versioning system
is in place (allowing versions like 1.2.3).
