[389-users] Announcing 389 Directory Server 1.2.5 Release Candidate 1

[Rich Megginson]

The 389 team is pleased to announce the availability of Release 
Candidate 1 of version 1.2.5.

We need your help!  Please help us test this software.  It is a Release 
Candidate, so it is fairly stable at this point.  We have worked hard to 
make sure upgrades from previous releases are as smooth as possible, and 
we would really appreciate feedback about upgrades.  The Fedora system 
strongly encourages packages to be in Testing until verified and pushed 
to Stable.  If we don't get any feedback while the packages are in 
Testing, the packages will remain in limbo, or get pushed to Stable.

The more testing we get, the faster we can release these packages to Stable.

=== New features ===
* Named Pipe Log Script - this script allows you to replace the 
access/errors/audit log file with a named pipe attached to a script - 
this allows you to do things like
** enable full debug error log level in production environments without 
suffering too much performance degradation
** log only certain events e.g. failed bind attempts only, or only 
messages that contain a specified pattern
** send data to a remote server, send email, anything that can be scripted
** http://port389.org/wiki/Named_Pipe_Log_Script

fixed is found at the link below.  Note that bugs marked as MODIFIED 
have been fixed but are still in testing.
