OpenLDAP 1.2beta2 released



OpenLDAP 1.2beta2 is available for final release testing.

This version contains a number of improvements as well as a
significant number of bug fixes.  Many of the bug fixes are
designed to resolve thread races and deadlock issues.  However
some outstanding issues still remain (mainly with running in
preemptive and/or concurrent threading environments).
