Changelog

Release 14.0 (2014-10-31)

Ldaptor has a new version schema. As a first-party library we now follow Twisted’s example.

License

  • Ldaptor’s original author Tommi Virtanen changed the license to the MIT (Expat) license.
  • ldaptor.md4 has been replaced by a 3-clause BSD version.

API Changes

  • Ldaptor client and server: None
  • Everything having to do with webui and Nevow have been removed.

Features

  • Travis CI is now used for continuous integration.
  • Test coverage is now measured. We’re currently at around 75%.
  • tox is used now to test ldaptor on all combinations of pypy, Python 2.6, Python 2.7 and Twisted versions from 10.0 until 14.0.
  • A few ordering bugs that were exposed by that and are fixed now.
  • ldaptor.protocols.pureldap.LDAPExtendedRequest now has additional tests.
  • The new ldaptor.protocols.pureldap.LDAPAbandonRequest adds support for abandoning requests.
  • ldaptor.protocols.pureldap.LDAPBindRequest has basic SASL support now. Higher-level APIs like ldapclient don’t expose it yet though.

Bugfixes

  • ldaptor.protocols.ldap.ldapclient’s now uses log.msg for it’s debug listing instead of the non-Twisted log.debug.
  • String literal exceptions have been replaced by real Exceptions.
  • “bin/ldaptor-ldap2passwd –help” now does not throws an exception anymore (debian bug #526522).
  • ldaptor.delta.Modification and ldaptor.protocols.ldap.ldapsyntax.PasswordSetAggregateError that are used for adding contacts now handle unicode arguments properly.
  • ldaptor.protocols.pureldap.LDAPExtendedRequest’s constructor now handles STARTTLS in accordance to RFC2251 so the constructor of ldaptor.protocols.pureldap.LDAPStartTLSRequest doesn’t fail anymore.
  • ldaptor.protocols.ldap.ldapserver.BaseLDAPServer now uses the correct exception module in dataReceived.
  • ldaptor.protocols.ldap.ldaperrors.LDAPException: “Fix deprecated exception error”
  • bin/ldaptor-find-server now imports dns from the correct twisted modules.
  • bin/ldaptor-find-server now only prints SRV records.
  • ldaptor.protocols.ldap.ldapsyntax.LDAPEntryWithClient now correctly propagates errors on search(). The test suite has been adapted appropriately.
  • ldaptor.protocols.ldap.ldapconnector.LDAPConnector now supports specifying a local address when connecting to a server.
  • The new ldaptor.protocols.pureldap.LDAPSearchResultReference now prevents ldaptor from choking on results containing SearchResultReference (usually from Active Directory servers). It is currently only a stub and silently ignored.
  • hashlib and built-in set() are now used instead of deprecated modules.

Improved Documentation

  • Added, updated and reworked documentation using Sphinx. Dia is required for converting diagrams to svg/png, this might change in the future.
  • Dia is now invoked correctly for diagram generation in a headless environment.
  • The documentation is now hosted on https://ldaptor.readthedocs.org/.
