2.3 (2018-06-29)

  • test and declare support for Python 3.7

2.2 (2018-05-21)

  • move back to python-ldap from pyldap, the code has been merged.

  • fix last DeprecationWarning

2.1 (2017-12-14)

  • The query filter parsing now allows non-ASCII values to be passed [majuscule]

  • Expand the allowed characters for query parsing from a hardcoded list [adparvum]

2.0 (2017-08-17)

  • drop Python 3.4 compatibility because it cannot deal with %s-style text replacement in byte strings

  • switch to aggressive input checking to ensure all DN, RDN or attribute names are passed in as UTF-8-encoded strings. This reflects the pyldap module behavior. Since this is a behavior change, move version number to 2.0.

1.3 (2017-06-06)

  • Python 2/3 compatibility fixes for dataflake.ldapconnection

1.2 (2017-06-01)

  • For Python 2.x, only support Python 2.7 now

  • switch from python-ldap to pyldap for Python 3 compatibility

  • add PEP 8 testing with flake8 to the tox test config

  • code reformatting for PEP 8

  • Python 3 compatibilty

  • use pkgutil-style namespace declaration

  • package cleanup (.gitignore, MANIFEST.in, README.rst)

  • docs cleanup (Makefile, conf.py)

  • tests cleanup (tox.ini, .travis.yml)

  • remove unsupported documentation bits

  • fix coverage tests to only test this package

  • remove coveralls from the Travis CI configuration

1.1 (2012-10-18)

  • the Filter object will now clean up filter values during creation by stripping leading and trailing whitespace. This corresponds to normal LDAP servers’ behavior, such as OpenLDAP, where values match regardless of leading or trailing spaces in the query’s value.

1.0 (2012-04-20)

  • refactor the monolithic original module into manageable and testable submodules

  • convert functions to class methods

  • convert doctests to unit tests

  • improve test coverage

  • Initial release. For changes prior to this release please see the dataflake.ldapconnection package up to release 1.4.

  • add convenience tox script to buildout

  • fix problem with BASE scoped-searches that specified additional filters

  • add coverage testing to tox configuration

  • Extended dataflake.fakeldap.RaisingFakeLDAPConnection to accept a list of exceptions to raise. On each call to the method that is set to raise the exception, the first item in the exception list is removed and raised. This allows testing code areas nested in more than one try/except clause.
