Re: new versions

[Peter Gietz <peter.gietz@daasi.de>]

As others already said, ongoing development in an Open Source project is
a good thing.

OpenLDAP has been LDAP core standard compliant from the beginning of the
project, since it was the Open Source reference implementation.

But there are additions to the standard (see e.g. the RFC list at the
bottom of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol)

And although OpenLDAP is a really good and well engineered product,
there is always possibilities of improvements, e.g. Howard's new mdb
data backend  that makes the fastest LDAP implementation have even
higher performance.

Cheers,

Peter
