10509 – 2.7: Feature notes for announcement file

Niels K.Jun 17

Migrated #OpenLDAP 2.4 running on #FreeBSD to OpenLDAP 2.6 with lloadd on #Linux (Debian 13). So many problems since then. Today I identified an open file limit issue. Fixing that will hopefully finally solve those problems 😞

Donc la formation #openldap celle qui est annulée 9/10 faute de participant est confirmée..

la formation #ansible sur site à #lyon également confirmée contre toute attente.

Sachant la proba importante que ces formations ne soient pas maintenues, je m'étais positionnée sur une 3eme sur #ansible , également confirmée.

+ les cours ...

13 jours de juin consacrées à la formation / cours. Mon compte en banque va adorer, mon 🧠 beaucoup moins.

Still a long way out for Carolina Codes! in mid-August. Their team is hard at work on the usual boring prep. It's a GREAT small polyglot get together!

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.

#OpenLDAP's #SQL backend is about to be deleted, in OpenLDAP 2.7. It has been officially unsupported for a long time, and deprecated as of 2.6. If you still use it for anything, you might want to speak up now if you want it to be preserved. Otherwise it's headed to the great bitbucket in the sky. https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/merge_requests/880

#OpenLDAP received two AI generated bug reports this week, zero vulnerabilities.

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.

"Web-scale" projects bragged about handling a million users a day. #OpenLDAP was serving a million users per *second*, back in 2015.

Vibe-coded framework-laden modern projects will never measure up.
