The #OpenLDAP 2.7 release branch is now available for testing. It now uses #LMDB 1.0. Both of these are still just release candidates, and not tagged as official release versions yet.

Fwiw, the @EUCommission uses #OpenLDAP with support from Symas. They certainly seem to have prioritized support of open source infrastructure, at least.

That's why my 40+ year career in software engineering has always focused on free software. Because I want to change the world for the better and I want other people to learn from what I've done and carry it even further forward. Just as I learned from computing pioneers who came before me.

It's why I've focused the last 27 years on making #OpenLDAP the premier directory software in the world, and why I built #LMDB as free software. Because it only makes a difference when it's freely shared.

When other servers were advertising sub-second response times #OpenLDAP was already delivering microsecond response times. We had to update our libraries to use nanosecond resolution timestamps because we're now delivering sub-microsecond performance. Years ahead of *everyone* else in the computing industry. Anyone claiming a better scaling/performance story than OpenLDAP is outright lying.

* We broke the microsecond barrier back in 2015: https://lists.openldap.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/KLNMUTAI2VF4GUVPR7XJATSOT4PQ7WYC/#OHN3EDU5ZWJFABLFKODT2MEF36WGXSXQ
