• Updated to refer to Mozilla C SDK 1.43 Sat Jun 13 02:39:15 CDT 1998
• Added replacement for strcasecmp that was more portable
• Fixed a few memory leaks caused by changes in 1.42 and tested these changes on both Netscape and UMICH SDKs.
• Changed the test.pl to be more intuitive and no longer require modifications.
• Made a few cosmetic changes to Makefile.PL 1.42 Sat Apr 25 22:27:22 CDT 1998
• Added named arguments to all methods
• Got rid of a few old ber_free's that were causing problems
• Fixed the sort functions (Thanks to Miguel Marques)
• Added the ldap_url functions
• I was destroying error messages before I printed them in a few of the ldapwalk examples. Whoops. Fixed.
• Fixed problem with Out of Memory errors on some platforms with the get_all_values function.
• Fixed a multitude of problems with rebinding
• Resolved issue resulting in dumped core on modify where NULL values were passed.
• Much more extensive testing by the author against both Netscape and University of Michigan libraries. Many small corrections.
• Added Makefile.PL options for Netscape LDAPv3 SDK. No v3 calls added yet. 1.40a Wed Jan 28 11:20:51 CST 1998
• sort_entries and multisort_entries have been added with the single arguments $attr and \@attr respectively. Neither seem to work properly on my system when sorting anything besides DN (attr = non-null). Please try this function on your system and let me know if it you can get it to work. If so, I will finish adding this function with another argument to specify a perl based compare function for the sort.
• Lots of changes from Hallvard B. Furuseth <h.b.furuseth@usit.uio.no>

  Including

  • Got rid of extra checks in LDAPapi.pm where checks exist in XS or Perl.
  • Cleaned up ldap_<add/modify>[s] with a few simple changes to hash2mod() function. Also fixed bug in that function that causes problems when you supply an empty hash.
  • Small typos and bug fixes in test.pl fixed.
  • Error string is now retrieved when requested, rather than after every call (What was I thinking when I did this? Who knows....)
  • Fixed some reverse logic in ldap<set/get>option in the XS file.

• Changed memory related calls to use 'New' and 'Safefree' macros, which seems to be what the perlguts document suggests.
• Got rid of the berfree define in ldap_compat.h when using UMICH. This was causing core dumps on some platforms.
• Added ldap_mod_attr.pl to the examples. A wonderful script from Andrew J Cosgriff <ajc@bing.wattle.id.au>.

1.40 Wed Jan 21 11:12:24 CST 1998

• I never did include the new version of web500.pl that supports Add functionality. It did exist, and I've included it with this release.
• There was a bug when adding or modifying a record where the value was set to be an integer. The bug has probably existed since a very old version of the module. It has now been fixed.
• Fix to internal rebind process for Netscape API users provided by Rob Weltman <rweltman@netscape.com> of Netscape.

1.40beta Tue Jan 13 14:54:13 CST 1998

• Wow, what hasn't changed in this version...
• Removed the extra 'free' in ldap_get_dn that was submitted as a fix to a memory leak. The fix seems to give inconsistent results on different platforms and APIs.
• Added Perl-OO methods for virtually all API calls. The C style API calls still work, and will work in all future versions. Note that I haven't added named arguments yet, so argument order matters. This should be in the next version.
• Manpages completely rewritten. Please send me any errors or typos.
• All examples except the two web ones have been rewritten to run under 'use Strict'.
• Test program and all examples except web500.pl have been rewritten to use Perl-OO methods. Might need to clean-up comments and code after so many rewrites.
• Minor bugfixes to web500.pl

1.39a Tue Nov 25 16:37:35 CST 1997

• Version 1.39 "overimproved" memory handling. It seemed to dump core, as it occasionally freed memory that Perl felt very inclined to freeing on its own. Whoops! This is only a bugfix release put out while I work on v1.40.
• In the process of debugging, also changed several scripts to run under 'use strict' and 'perl -w'.

1.39 Mon Oct 27 15:33:12 CST 1997

• Added Al Grimstead's memory leak fix for ldap_get_all_entries.
• Added Windows NT 4.0 Support (using Perl5.004, not ActiveState Perl)
• Added finished web500.pl Gateway
• Improved memory handling in Add/Modify Routine
• Included updatepw.pl in the examples directory. This is a script that can syncronize unix passwords into directories supporting crypted passwords.

1.36 Fri Aug 29 14:54:38 CDT 1997

• Added ldap_get_all_entries, which is not a C API command, but useful anyway. Thanks to Andreas Beck for some of the code to make this possible.
• Included a few new examples (ldapwalk2.pl and web500.pl)

1.35 Tue Aug 26 15:44:25 CDT 1997

• Added SSL Functions when using Netscape SDK
• Added the following functions for non-Netscape SDKs (and ensured that they now work properly for Netscape SDK users):

  ldap_get_lderrno (to get errno from LDAP struct) ldap_set_lderrno (to set errno from LDAP struct) ldap_msgid (to obtain msgid from an LDAPMessage *) ldap_msgtype (to obtain msgtype from an LDAPMessage *) ldap_set_option (to set some LDAP * options) ldap_get_option (to get some LDAP * options)

• Added support for a rebind process. Mostly untested, so let me know how well this works for you. You can set this to a PERL routine using ldap_set_rebind_proc($ld,\&perl_function_name), then make sure that this function returns DN, PASSWORD, and AUTHTYPE.
• Added more code and documentation fixes from Hallvard Furuseth
• Fixed documentation/code errors noted by Al Grimstad <alg@att.com>
• Added ldap_compat.h for non-Netscape SDK users.
• Added Credits file containing people who have provided feedback and fixes.
• Added Todo file containing list of things I'm working on (or would like to be working on).

1.31 Tue Jul 29 17:25:54 CDT 1997

• Added function prototypes for internal functions so that some C compilers don't complain.
• Fixed the ldap_*_option functions for Netscape SDK users.
• Implemented fixes from Hallvard Furuseth <h.b.furuseth@usit.uio.no> for ISODE support and lots of code cleanup, including a very nice script to autogenerate a constant.h file. THANKS!

1.30 Tue Jul 22 17:19:36 CDT 1997

• Fixes Makefile.PL to add Kerberos libraries if needed. Also added LDAP_AUTH_KRB* defines to LDAPapi.xs file.
• Changed all malloc to PERL5 safe versions.
• Now properly free all LDAPMod structures after ldap_add & ldap_modify
• Completely rewrote add and modify routines and added binary value support to add and modify command
• Added ldap_get_values_len function to support retrieving binary attributes.

1.21 Fri Jul 18 08:53:11 CDT 1997

• Fixed the compile warnings with University of Michigan
• Changed www-ldap.pl to only submit changed items.
• Updated all files changing module name from LDAP to Net::LDAPapi

1.20 Thu Jul 17 01:20:08 CDT 1997

• Changed LDAP.xs - added hash2add and hash2mod internal routines and seriously cleaned up the add and modify routines.
• References to Arrays (\%) are now required as the third parameter to ldap_add and ldap_modify functions.
• Updated README, Man Page in LDAP.pm, and other documentation changes.

1.11 Wed Jul 16 10:48:17 CDT 1997

• Changed LDAP.xs and Makefile.PL to make this module work with University of Michigan LDAP SDK. Tested on Solaris.
• 'ldap_init' call does not seem to work properly if compiled with University of Michigan LDAP SDK. Otherwise all OK. Use ldap_open as a temporary work-around.

1.1 Tue Jul 15 17:54:27 CDT 1997

• Fixed a few simple bugs in ldap_modify and ldap_add commands.
• Included new www-ldap.pl CGI script
