The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS 2.0.0-M5, the fifth milestone toward a 2.0 version.

Here are the release notes for Apache Directory ApacheDS 2.0.0-M5:

• DIRSERVER-1660 - DMG based installer generation fails on Mac OSX Lion
• DIRSERVER-1688 - Using rm -d is not portable to Slackware
• DIRKRB-81 - The ReplayCacheEntry is marked as Serializable, but contains no serializable fields
• DIRKRB-84 - EncryptionTypes are not correctly handled in the server

Note that this is a milestone, and some parts of the API or configuration can change before the 2.0 GA. We don't have any defined time frame for the 2.0-G1 release, we do expect to release a few more milestones before reaching the 2.0-GA.
