Release Notes for gq - THE OpenSource LDAP browser
Version 0.7.0beta2
* New browse-tree popup menu item - "Search below"
* Adding/removing/changing a server definition in the server preferences
adds/removes/changes corresponding entries in the browse tree.
* gq now correctly handles special characters in the bind DN, the bind
password and the search base in search mode.
* Introduction of the language pack - The main distribution does no longer
contain message catalogs. Instead: Download a language pack and follow
the instructions contained in README.langpack
* Binary data presented in text-form now is shown using a fixed font.
* Many bugfixes
Version 0.7.0beta1
User visible changes:
* There is a popup menu when right-clicking on an attribute label (except
for "dn" and "objectClass". It allows to view schema information and it
allows to change how the attribute should be presented visually (the
"display type", in lack of a better name)
* Added a new display type for the generalizedTime LDAP syntax. It allows
to choose the day using a calendar. Very convenient if one has to enter
such timestamps. Actually, this syntax isn't used very often, in my
stock openldap servers this syntax only gets used for the birthDay
attribute of class "personalInformation". I use this syntax in my own
objectClasses though (eg. implementing LDAP based vacation e-mail
replies).
* When turing on "show referrals" in the serer preferences the "ref"
attribute is shown. This is currently mainly useful to get an impression
of how references ought to work, this feature will probably change in
the future.
* Password get stored encoded (NOT encrypted) in the configuration file.
This is just to hide clear-text passwords from the occasional view
others may glimpse if you open the .gq file in a text editor (even if
there is no reason to do so)
* Due to password encoding the confgiuration file syntax was changed in a
backwards-incompatible way!! gq asks if it should upgrade the
configuration upon start and refuses to change the configuration later
on if one does not upgrade.
* A new entry in the popup menu of a search result (in a search
tab) allows to find the object in a browser window. This allows to enter
objects into the browse tree that might not be found otherwise, eg.
because of a sizelimit. From that entry, the tree below it can be
browsed.
* The base DN combobox in search tabs can be changed now. This is good for
searches where one needs a different base. See
http://www.ldap.research.netsol.com/ldapsearch.html where this can be
useful.
* Japanese L10N, for those who need it, better support for languages
having different needs for embedding numbers in messages than
english/german.
* LDAP URI support instead of hostname + port, this also allows to used
ldaps:// URIs (that is LDAP over SSL, which is different to STARTTLS)
* The "Add as new" button in the browser
* Allow for the use of the "extensibleObject" class by allowing to add
attributes to such an object.
* Allow to hide empty attributes from the browser.
* "Beautified" some dialogs
* Added tooltips
Not directly visible changes:
* Bugfixes (some of them were serious, avoid a lot of core-dumping)
* Improvements in LDAP error handling
* gq takes a command-line option "-d" if built with debug support:
-d 1 shows error numbers in error messages.
-d 4 constantly displays memory usage on standard out (better if it is
a tty, actually)
