The Luma Project is proud to announces the availability of Luma 2.0. This release is a major milestone in making Luma even more userfriendly and powerful, for users and developers alike. End users will be pleased to hear that an advanced schema browser has been integrated and thanks to it's caching, it's very fast to use. Objectclasses and Attributes are inter-connected, allowing easy browsing between them. Search filters help the user in finding the desired information instantly. New dialogs for deleting and exporting LDAP entries have been added. The user has complete control over what will be deleted/exported and gets useful information in case of failure. Additional to LDIF, Luma added support for exporting entries to DSML (a XML based format for storing directory information). The LDAP browser has a new look when browsing entries in the tree. Items with lots of attributes and values are displayed much faster now. Additionaly the components got 'smarter' and prevent the users from many common errors. Schema handling has been vastly improved and the user isn't able any more to edit an attribute if it's the relative distinguished name of the entry. In the case of failure during a LDAP operation, the user gets an error dialog, displaying the reason. It is no longer necessary to restart Luma in the console and try to reproduce the error. Updated translations for English, German, Russian and Swedish are available. Download Luma can be downloaded from http://luma.sourceforge.net/download.html .
