$Header: /cvsroot/phpldapadmin/phpldapadmin/doc/ChangeLog,v 1.12 2004/04/18 15:54:32 uugdave Exp $ * Version 0.9.4, 2004-04-XX * Notes: This release adds many new features and fixes many minor bugs. General performance has improved, especially for handling large data sets. Of particular note is that users can page through search results, flag individual attributes as read-only, view in-line jpegPhotos in search results, export DSML, all from the comfort of their own language. phpLDAPadmin is now availble in 11 languages. * Changes: - Fixed bug 936223 by adding more robust error-handling to the binary attr viewing code. - Improved support for Microsoft Active Direcotry Added many new icons and logic to detect "special" Active Directory objects. Fixed a bug which prevented phpLDAPadmin's tree viewer from properly browsing an Active Directory. - Improved support for Novell eDirectory Added many new icons and logic to detect Novell eDirectory (NDS) entries. - Enhanced export form Users can specify the type of export, line ends, search scope, and more from one handy form similar in appearance to phpMyAdmin export forms (though more simple). As a result, I cleaned up the links at the top of the default mod template (removed mac | win | unix links, for example). - Cleaned up the entry browser link It now better aligns itself with neighboring form elements. - Fixed several E_NOTICE bugs - Added paging to search results Search results are now paged into groups of 50 entries and users can step through the pages like Google. This is not only a nicety, but with large searches users may have waited for hours for their browser to render all the entries. That problem is fixed by paging. - DNs are pretty-printed DNs in the tree viewer and else-where are now "syntax-highlighted". - Faster schema surfing You can "jump to" schema elements without rendering all other elements in the schema browser. This is a major speed enhancement. - Configurable: hide "Create new" Thanks to a patch from Deon George, users can hide the "create new" link in the tree viewer if desired. - DSML exports - Various XHTML fixes supplied by Uwe Ebel. - More binary safety: get_object_attrs() is now completely binary safe. Developers can use it to fetch jpegPhotos and any other binary data. - Re-order the search criteria menu Users can re-order the search criteria drop-down box (for simple search form) as desired from the config. - Obfuscated passwords with **** Users can configure PLA to display userPasswords as ****** if desired. - Tree browser displays child counts We found a fast solution to display child counts below each node without having to expand the node in the tree viewer. Works great. - "Used by" hyperlinks The "used by" list in matching rules are now hyper-linked to attributes in the schema viewer. - jpegPhotos in the search results. When a search result includes jpegPhotos, they will be displayed inline with other attributes. Very handy for address books! - We can draw any jpeg now Modified the infrastrucutre to draw any jpegPhoto attribute, regardless of its name. - Added a groupOfNames template For editing groupOfNames and groupOfUniqueNames - Fixes to the entry browser The entry browser can be clicked and closed before it's finished loading - Read-only attributes Users can now mark certain attributes as read-only, and PLA will refuse to modify them (ie, objectClasses) and display them without form input fields. - Configurable handling of aliases and referrals Admins can configure how phpLDAPadmin should handle aliases and referrals with fine-grained control. - Schema caching Network traffic between the web server and LDAP server has been reduced drastically and user page loads should run much faster thanks to a two-level session-based and memory-based schema cache. - Low bandwidth mode Users who have a slow link between their LDAP server and web server can run phpLDAPadmin in low-bandwidth mode to discourage excessive network traffic. - Fixed DN explosion A bug in PHP's LDAP API caused common segmentation faults in ldap_explode_dn(). We have re-implemented this function in PHP and have eliminated all segmentation faults. - Almost complete localization phpLDAPadmin is 100% internationalized with the exception of creation templates, available in 11 languages. - Added support for IBM LDAP and ISODE M-Vault LDAP servers. - Linkable displayed DNs When a user views an attribute that contains a DN, an arrow will appear to the left side. When clicked, the user is taken to the referenced DN. - Recursive copy fliters When users copy a sub-tree, they may apply a filter to the copy such that only entries that match the filter will be copied. - Auto uidNumber enhancements Admins can now specify a DN to bind with when auto-searching for the next available uidNumber. - Schema code cleanups Applied object-oriented inheritance to schema items and cleaned up access functions. No affect on end user, just a developers' itch. - Custom creation template usability enhancements - Fixed session bugs If PHP is auto-starting sessions, we will not throw errors anymore. - Added new auth_type: http Users can now use http auth_types for form-based logins. Their DN/password will be stored on the server in memory rather than in a cookie on the client. - TLS fixes More robust coverage. If users have configured 'tls' = true in config.php, we use TLS for all transactions with the LDAP server. - Error handling fixes pla_verbose_error() is more tolerant of crappy input (ie, bad LDAP error codes). - Cleaned up default mod template Editing entries is now much cleaner-looking. Buttons at the top are in two columns. The browser doesn't have to be full-screen anymore to edit an entry. - Minor cosmetic fixes to custom creation template - Added phpDoc commentary to all functions in functions.php and schema_functions.php, and export_functions.php. This allows us to auto-doc the code using phpDocumentor. * Version 0.9.3, 2003-12-19 * Notes: This release focused almost entirely on finding and fixing bugs. The schema viewer has also been streamlined to save bandwidth (and several endangered species), while template configuration has been moved to its own file located in the templates directory. Over all, phpLDAPadmin has been made more solid thanks to testing and reporting by hundreds of users. Thansk for all your reports! Special thanks goes out to Matt Perlman for the IBM work-around and Uwe Ebel for the enhanced schema viewer. * Changes: As this was primarily a bug-fix release, here's the list of significant fixes: 862225 an E_NOTICE on delete fixed 861730 (and many duplicates of it) an E_NOTICE on determining the language in 'auto' lanuage mode for browsers who don't set HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE (like Opera). 861491 (and many duplicates of it) Anonymous form-based logins often failed due to several E_NOTICE problems. 856832 IBM LDAP servers refernece SUP attributes by OID, not name. A patch was provided to accomodate this circumstance. 860179 Another anonymous form-based login bug. 858611 (lots of dups of this one) Fixed the error handler so that it will not cause a "cannot send header information" message. 844547 A coulpe E_NOTICE bugs in the posix group creation template. 841816 An E_NOTICE bug during creation of an entry. 844340 A sprintf error during login - Many many more bug fixes. - The schema viewer was also streamlined. - Support work-around for IBM LDAP Server was added. * Version 0.9.2, 2003-11-14 * Notes: This release has undergone major code hardening as we've subjected it to the most stringent standard of PHP error reporting. The result is fewer unhandled errors, improved usability, and better performance. We've given more attention to internationalization as well, and that effort is nearly 80% complete. Translators and coders are still needed to help complete the localization effort. We've added a whole new custom callback infrastructure that is event driven. Users can write their own custom code to be executed as the result of LDAP events. Events include entry creation, entry deletion, and entry modification. Users can define custom code to execute automatically before and after each of these events. See "custom_functions.php" for details and documentation. Lots of other new features and bug fixes are outlined in the ChangeLog. phpLDAPadmin finally has a roadmap included with each release. Find it in the file called "ROADMAP" in the root of the install. This roadmap will be constantly updated to list our goals for each release. Enjoy 0.9.2! As always, your feedback is most welcome on the development mailing list and on the SourceForge bug tracker. * Changes: - Localization work continues. About 80% complete. - New languages: Ialian, German, Catala - Fixed major encoding bugs. All pages are now true UTF-8 encoded - Support for auto-determining user's language based on the browser - Custom event callbacks infrastructure (see custom_functions.php). Users can now define custom code to execute as a result of LDAP events (ie, new entries, modifications, etc). - Major code cleanup. Removed all E_NOTICE messages and enabled E_ALL error_reporting. - Added support for smd5 and ssha passwords - Added configurable hints throughout the application - Added template-based entry editing. The infrastructure is now in place to use custom templates for editing LDAP entries. No templates are being shipped with 0.9.2, but they are on the way for 0.9.3. - Added photo display support for non-jpegPhoto photo attributes. - Added mass deletion. If enabled in the configuration, users can mass-delete multiple entries from the tree browser with checkboxes. - Much improved schema retrieval code. Now PLA uses the Root DSE (or any relevant DN) to fetch the schema based on the RFC-complian subSchemaSubEntry value. - Added support for viewing schema for attributes with ";" in their names (like userCertificate;binary or sn;lang-fr) - Schema code is 100% object oriented. - Enhanced search code can handle large searches without running out of memory. - Fixed minor XSS vulnerabilities in several creation templates. - Enhanced the server information viewer to actively retrieve attributes that the server may not give voluntarily. - Made the tree viewer more intelligent for failed binds. - Added better caching of the base DN for the tree viewer, which speeds up page loads considerably with multiple servers all configured to auto-determine the base DN. - Added intelligence around password updates on the currently logged-in user entry. * Version 0.9.1, 2003-09-24 * Notes: We fixed a mountain of bugs for this release and implemented the most popular feature requests. The result is a much more robust LDAP management tool that supports a wider range of harsh environments and spoken languages. This release was over a month in the making and it shows. We've had great feed back from users. Special thanks to Nick Burch, Xavier Renard, Uwe Ebel, Schuller Tom, and Marius Reider for their code contributions. Thanks to everyone who contributed code and bug reports! * Changes: - Preliminary support for LDIF imports. - Binary attribute support for viewing, deleting, and adding. - Users can specify attributes to hide while editing entries. - Schema browser now displays which objectClasses each attribute is used in. - Preliminary multi-language support (some localization, infrastructure in place). - New template for creating posixGroup entries. - Optional read-only mode of operation. - Error dialog beautified. - Localization effort begun, now available in German and French. - New samba user template. * Bugs fixed: - I18n support was made more robust (UTF-8 problems fixed in *many* places). - Improved LDIF exports with better LDIF comments and cleaner IE support. - Cleaned up code in edit.php. - After updates, modified attribute(s) now highlighted properly. - Many realpath() fixes to allow symlink installs with multiple configs. - Simple search form 'Starts with' '*' searches produced PHP error. - Entry creation now adds the new entry to the tree browser in sorted order. - Complete re-work of schema browser, much more efficient parser. - Began effort to remove all E_NOTICE notices. * Version 0.9.0, 2003-08-12 * Notes: This is the first release of phpLDAPAdmin. It should be stable enough and ready for use on your production LDAP servers. This is still a beta release and the paranoid may want to wait. phpLDAPAdmin is based on an improved version of DaveDAP 0.8.4. * Changes: phpLDAPAdmin was DaveDAP. Changes since DaveDAP 0.8.4 include: - Better LDAP compliance when copying entries. - Fixed boolean attribute support. - jpegPhoto scaling when necessary. - More robust schema browser. - Added internal attributes support. - Slightly improved look and feel.
