Dear all,
I think this is now almost complete (at least until 2.4 final):
http://suretec.org/our_docs/index.html http://suretec.org/our_docs/appendix-changes.html
The "New Features and Enhancements in 2.4" section is mainly Howard, Andos and Quanahs words re-worked. I hope you approve. Feedback welcome.
You might want to link to this section (when released on openldap.org) when announcing 2.4.5 beta and also mention that the docs are a work in progress, but will be complete for the final release of 2.4
Thanks,
Gavin.

A.2.14:
I would change "Advertisement of LDAP Server in DNS" to "LDAP Client tools now honor SRV records", which is really what I meant, but was running on 2 hrs of sleep at the time. ;)

My wife gets rather unhappy when I work on the weekends while we have company over. ;) And yes, anything on the computer outside of very brief emails constitutes work. :P

Done. This isn't work, it's fun!
Ii looks like your above paragraph is longer than:
s/Advertisement of LDAP Server in DNS/LDAP Client tools now honor SRV records/

I suppose we could also mention back-ldbm in A.3 "Obsolete Features".

Good Job. A last minute note also from myself, also:
in A.2.10. New features in existing Overlays
* slapo-pcache allows cache inspection/maintenance/hot restart
This could be expanded into:
inspection/maintenance: the cache database can be directly accessed via LDAP by adding a specific control to each LDAP request; a specific extended operation allows to consistently remove cached entries and entire cached queries.
hot restart: cached queries are saved on disk at shutdown, and reloaded if not expired yet at subsequent restart.
Cheers, p.

Yes, thanks. WRT dyngroup/dynlist security enhancements, it might be worth mentioning <draft-haripriya-dynamicgroup>'s dgIdentity, if Howard agrees.

Good idea. Probably worth adding that draft to our doc/drafts CVS too. I'll add this shortly.

Where are the control and the ext. op. defined?
Ciao, Michael.

It is __very__experimental, so #ifdef LDAP_DEVEL they get defined in pcache code itself, which dynamically registers the extensions and the related handlers. I meant to to "publish" sort of a specification, possibly in the docs (the exop is definitely going to be specific to pcache; the control could be generalized to all backends/overlays that contain hidden data, starting from the hidden database concept itself).
What I wrote so far is in http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1420.html. Please feel free to comment and to suggest improvements.
