We're pleased to announce the first release of Net::LDAP, the first
pure-Ruby LDAP library. Net::LDAP intends to be a feature-complete
LDAP client which can access as much as possible of the functionality
of the most-used LDAP server implementations. This library does
not wrap any existing native-code LDAP libraries, creates no
Ruby extensions, and has no dependencies external to Ruby.

Net::LDAP includes a full implementation of the LDAP wire-line
protocol so it can also be used in LDAP server implementations.

Thanks for Austin Ziegler for invaluable help in reviewing the
implementation and providing the release structure.
