This is a minor release that was primarily created in service of an upcoming release of the Ping Identity Directory Server, as it fixes an issue in a tool that only impacts that new release. Nevertheless, there are a couple of additional updates, so we’re making it publicly available.
The changes over the previous 5.0.0 release include:
We added a new LDAP connection logger API that can be used to keep a record of processing performed by the LDAP SDK, including successful and failed connection attempts, operation requests and responses (including non-final responses like search result entries, search result references, and intermediate responses), and disconnects. The LDAP SDK includes a connection logger instance that formats messages as JSON objects, but it’s an extensible API, so you’re free to create your own implementation using whatever format you want.
We have updated the LDAP command-line tool framework to make it possible to specify the address of the target directory server(s) using either --host or --address as an alternative to the existing --hostname argument.
We fixed an issue that prevented the collect-support-data tool from running properly in local mode when using a secure connection (either SSL or StartTLS). This functionality only applies to an upcoming release of the Ping Identity Directory Server, so existing installations should not have been affected, and new installations will have the fix.
We made minor updates to the usage output for several command-line tools to improve wording and fix typos. We also fixed typos in other messages used throughout the LDAP SDK.

The UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java is a fast, powerful, user-friendly, and completely free Java library for communicating with LDAP directory servers and performing other LDAP-related processing. We have just released version 5.0.1 of the LDAP SDK, and it is available for download from GitHub and SourceForge, as well as from the Maven Central Repository. The release notes are available online at https://docs.ldap.com/ldap-sdk/docs/release-notes.html.
