[ANNOUNCEMENT] Net_LDAP-0.7.2 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package Net_LDAP-0.7.2 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
This release features some internal code movements to be more compatible to PERL::Net_LDAP.
The movements include:
* Removed UTF8 en-/decoding stuff from Net_LDAP_Utils class since this was moved to Net_LDAP class in 0.6.6
* Moved Filter encoding from Net_LDAP_Filter to Net_LDAP_Util
* Moved ldap_explode_dn_escaped() from Net_LDAP_Entry to Net_LDAP_Util
* Added perls functions from Net_LDAP::Util to our Util class, but they still need some work
Please note that ldap_explode_dn_escaped() is not available from Net_LDAP_Entry anymore.

Additionally some new functionality has been introduced:
* You can now apply regular expressions directly to a entrys attributes
and don't need to fetch the attribute values manually.
* Net_LDAP_Schema can check if a attributes syntax is binary

The following bugs have been resolved:
* Connections to LDAP servers that forbid anonymous binds are possible again
* The JPEG attribute is now properly returned as binary value instead of string
* If the array describing selected attributes in searches didn't contain consecutive keys, there was a problem sometimes
* Some PHP5 return issues

Package Info
------------
Net Ldap is a clone of Perls Net::LDAP object interface to
ldapservers. It does not contain all of Net::LDAPs features,
but has:
* A simple OO-interface to connections, searches entries and filters.
* Support for tls and ldap v3.
* Simple modification, deletion and creation of ldapentries.
* Support for schema handling.

Net_LDAP layers itself on top of PHP's existing ldap extensions.
