The 389 team is pleased to announce the availability for testing of Alpha 3 of version 1.2.7. This release contains some new features as well as many bug fixes. On those platforms which have OpenLDAP built with Mozilla NSS crypto support (Fedora 14 and later), the packages are built with OpenLDAP instead of the Mozilla LDAP C SDK.

WARNING: If you are upgrading from a previous 1.2.6 release candidate, you will need to run fixfiles to fix some SELinux AVCs, or directory server will not start. See bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622882

To fix, run this: fixfiles -R 389-ds-base restore

If you are upgrading from 1.2.5 or earlier, or a stable 1.2.6, there is no problem.

WARNING: If you are upgrading from a 1.2.6 alpha or release candidate, you will need to manually fix your entryrdn index files. See http://port389.org/wiki/Subtree_Rename#warning:_upgrade_from_389_v1.2.6_.28a... for more information. If you are upgrading from 1.2.5 or earlier, or a 1.2.6 stable release, there is no problem.

The new packages and versions are: * 389-ds-base 1.2.7.a3 * 389-admin 1.1.12.a2 * 389-adminutil 1.1.13 * 389-dsgw 1.1.6 * perl-Mozilla-LDAP 1.5.3 (Fedora 14 and later)

***We need your help! Please help us test this software.*** It is an Alpha release, so it may have a few glitches, but it has been tested for regressions and for new feature bugs. The Fedora system requires that packages go into Testing until verified and pushed to Stable.

The more testing we get, the faster we can release these packages to Stable. See the Release Notes for information about how to provide testing feedback (or just send an email to 389-users@lists.fedoraproject.org).
