Ganymede is a GPL'ed metadirectory system.  Ganymede provides support
for concurrent, team-based management of network directory services.
It features a multithreaded database server with support for plug-in
Java classes to customize the structure, management, and distribution
of network directory data.  Ganymede allows large groups of
administrators to share administrative control over designated
portions of a master network directory database, and provides
transactional reliability and intelligent constraint management to
keep network directories consistent.  Ganymede keeps complete audit
trails for all activity and can send email notification of relevant
directory changes to every member of your admin team, keeping
administrative teams coordinated and effective.  Ganymede's
sophisticated graphical user interface is designed to provide a high
enough level of ease and safety of use to allow even relatively
untrained users to make changes to the directory database.

Ganymede has been designed and implemented over a five year period to
act as the glue that holds your admin teams and your directory
services together.

Ganymede 1.0.6 fixes a number of bugs that caused problems with
database recovery if the server was shut down improperly.  The majority
of these problems were present at least from versions 1.0pre1 to
1.0.5.  If you are using any of these versions of Ganymede, you should
upgrade to 1.0.6 as soon as possible.

The following is an abbreviated list of changes in this release.  See
http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/gash2/CHANGES for full details.

1. [SERVER, ADMIN CONSOLE] Fixed delayed memory release for schema editing
2. [WEBACCESS] Fixed ganypass.pl to allow < and > chars in passwords
3. [SERVER] Fixed several journal processing bugs
