Reply-To: feedback@web2ldap.de
HI!
Find a new release of web2ldap on
http://www.web2ldap.de/download.html
About:
web2ldap is a full-featured LDAPv3 client written in Python and designed
to run as a stand-alone Web gateway or under the control of a web server
with FastCGI or SCGI support (e.g., Apache with mod_fastcgi or mod_scgi).
Ciao, Michael.
0.15.7
Release Date: 2005-02-05
* Added new plugin class for attribute type sAMAccountType on MS
Active Directory.
* The SIGPIPE handler now simply ignores SIGPIPE instead of raising
mssignals.SigPipeException. This fixes some strange effects when
running in FastCGI mode and one hits [ Disconnect ] after
reconnecting to the LDAP server of the current session (e.g. because
of server restart).
So this is for you if your web server's error log shows something
like:
Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "FCGI instance has no attribute
'err'" in <bound method FCGI.__del__ of <fcgi.FCGI insta nce at
0x42f0db6c>> ignored
* Allow IPv6 addresses to be passed as parameter values in LDAP URLs
and input fields.

========== Forwarded message ==========
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.text.tex,comp.emacs as well.
Most important: current users of XEmacs-21.4.16 should _not_ try
AUCTeX-11.55 until they have updated to XEmacs-21.4.17 (expected to b=
e
released this weekend). Earlier versions of XEmacs are not affected.
Release notes for AUCTeX 11.55
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
AUCTeX provides by far the most wide-spread and sophisticated
environment for editing LaTeX, TeX, ConTeXt and Texinfo documents wit=
h
Emacs or XEmacs. Combined with packages like RefTeX, preview-latex,
flyspell and others it is pretty much without peer as a comprehensive
authoring solution for a large variety of operating system platforms
and TeX distributions. It supports document-dependent completion and
syntax highlighting, easily accessible menus, jumping to error
locations in the source file, a number of editing shortcuts, and
intelligent indentation and filling of the text during entry.
Interfaces in this release remain a moving target with the
documentation lagging somewhat. We need volunteers in particular for
non-programming tasks: documentation writing, tutorials, translations=
,
reference material, sleuth work, testing.
New features and fixed bugs in this release
===========================================
AUCTeX 11.55 includes fixes for the following bugs:
* Erroneous insertion of trailing whitespace during filling.
* Unwanted display of *Compile-Log* buffer when the first LaTeX fi=
le
in an Emacs session is loaded.
* `File mode specification error: (error "Variable binding depth
exceeds max-specpdl-size")' if an outdated Emacspeak package is
installed. But since both Emacs and XEmacs contain a correct
version of `regexp-opt.el', simply removing any such file within
your copy of Emacspeak appears safer.
More detailed information can be found in the CHANGES file included i=
n
the distribution or the "Changes" section in the manual.
IMPORTANT: Many of the new features in the 11.5x series rely on
special properties in the variable `TeX-command-list' and will not
work if you customized this variable for a pre-11.5x release of
AUCTeX. If this is the case for you, please re-initialize the
variable by erasing the customization, thereby setting the variable t=
o
the new default, and re-adding your changes afterwards.
Requirements
============
It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 21 or XEmacs 21.4 with
AUCTeX. Support for Emacs 20 has been dropped in favor of getting
more important work done. For XEmacs, you need at least version 1.84
of the xemacs-base package (released on 01/27/2004) or a sumo tarball
dated 02/02/2004 or newer for compiling AUCTeX because of non-trivial
changes in easy-mmode.el: please use the XEmacs package system for
upgrading if necessary. The current developers don't have the
resources for providing backward compatibility to earlier versions.
Warning: release 21.4.16 of XEmacs is severely broken. This leads to
crashes and hangs; since AUCTeX 11.55 is more likely to trigger this
problem than previous AUCTeX releases, don't upgrade it if you can't
use a different XEmacs version.
Availability
============
AUCTeX can be downloaded from <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/>=
..
There are tarballs, and RPMs for Fedora and SuSE (for Emacs). A
separate directory contains some stuff from the tarball, such as
ChangeLog, printable manuals, a reference sheet. The download area i=
s
mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN. AUCTeX is licensed
under the GNU General Public License version 2.
You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list
address.
Future development and additional information
=============================================
AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
merging it into Emacs (and merging with preview-latex
<URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/> soon). For that reason,
all new contributors need to assign copyright to their contributions
to the FSF (the usual procedure for Emacs contributors). The same
holds for past contributors. The principal authors and maintainers
have already done so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic
volunteer to find and ask the rest.
Current project manager is David Kastrup <mailto:dak@gnu.org>. While
Paypal contributions are appreciated, volunteering for tasks remains
the most effective way of helping AUCTeX development.
The following people contributed to this release series (in
alphabetical order): Ralf Angeli, Masayuki Ataka, Thomas Baumann,
Berend de Boer, Miguel Frasson, Peter S. Galbraith, Patrick Gundlach,
Yvon Hevel, David Kastrup, Frank K=FCster, Jan-=C5ke Larsson, Dan
Nicolaescu, Piet van Oostrum, Davide G. M. Salvetti, Mike Sperber,
Reiner Steib, Christian Schlauer, Shiro Takeda (Please accept our
apologies if we forgot somebody.)
