Neil Wilson - 2018-11-20

We have just released version 4.0.9 of the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. It is available for download from the releases page of our GitHub repository (https://github.com/pingidentity/ldapsdk/releases), from the Files page of our SourceForge repository (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ldap-sdk/files/), and from the Maven Central Repository (https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:com.unboundid%20AND%20a:unboundid-ldapsdk&core=gav).

The most significant changes included in this release are:

  • Updated the command-line tool framework to allow tools to have descriptions that are comprised of multiple paragraphs.

  • Updated the support for passphrase-based encryption to work around an apparent JVM bug in the support for some MAC algorithms that could cause them to create an incorrect MAC.

  • Updated all existing ArgumentValueValidator instances to implement the Serializable interface. This can help avoid errors when trying to serialize an argument configured with one of those validators.

  • Updated code used to create HashSet, LinkedHashSet, HashMap, LinkedHashMap, and ConcurrentHashMap instances with a known set of elements to use better algorithms for computing the initial capacity for the map to make it less likely to require the map to be dynamically resized.

  • Updated the LDIF change record API to make it possible to obtain a copy of a change record with a given set of controls.

  • Added additional methods for obtaining a normalized string representation of JSON objects and value components. The new methods provide more control over case sensitivity of field names and string values, and over array order.

  • Improved support for running in a JVM with a security manager that prevents setting system properties (which also prevents access to the System.getProperties method because the returned map is mutable).
