--

On behalf of all those who have worked on Ganymede over the last three
years, I am pleased to announce the first full public release of the
Ganymede Directory Management system.

This release includes a number of significant improvements and fixes
since dev6a, as listed below.

Most significantly, the distribution now includes full source code,
and is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

Please download and try out the distribution.  Let me know if you have
any problems or comments with the install scripts, build process, or
documentation.  If all goes well, I'll post a general announcement to
the net about Ganymede in one week.

Thanks!

  Jon

-------------------- Changes from dev6a to 0.95 -------------------

RELEASE DATE: January 22, 1999

1. [CLIENT] QueryBox improvements

The client was broken when it came to submitting requests for a
membership test on vector fields.  This caused the server to always
return empty results when querying on invid vector fields.

Also, the querybox now just prompts for the label of an invid to match
against, rather than forcing the user to scroll through a (possibly
huge) list of possibilities.  The user can actually use any string
comparator on simple scalar invid fields.

Regular expressions can be used on vector string and invid fields
using the 'Contain Matching' operator.

The list of available object types and fields to search on is
now sorted.

2. [SCHEMA] Fixed gasharl schema to expand group ownership privileges

The gasharl schema now allows an administrator who has privilege to
edit a group to place any user in that group, even if the
administrator would not normally be able to edit those users.

3. [CLIENT] Icons shuffled

The tree no longer uses the icons from the toolbar.

4. [CLIENT] Permissions editor now uses a hybrid table/tree GUI.

Brian O'Mara has made the permissions editor much spiffier, by using a
hybrid table/tree Swing GUI component.

5. [DISTRIBUTION] Source included

We've spent the last couple of weeks reworking our build scripts and
getting everything into CVS so that we can release ganymede with
source code and allow people to tweak and build everything themselves.
