Release Notes for Grouper v1.5

An AJAX-based widget simplifies some end user interactions. Available in two ways: free-standing, or integrated within the Administrative UI.

Who took which management actions when is recorded and made available for viewing and reporting.

Move or copy groups and folders to other folders, with the option to preserve old group names so that applications may continue to refer to the old name.

Real-time notification of group, folder, membership, and privilege changes are available through the Grouper API.

Assign custom attributes to groups, memberships, folders, and other attributes.

Support for Roles and Role hierarchies. Permissions can be attached to Roles or to Memberships in Roles.

The integration of Shibboleth's Attribute Resolver within LDAPPC provides substantial attribute calculation capabilities. Also, memberships and group attributes can be accessed directly by a Shibboleth IdP.

A fundamental change to Grouper's underlying relational schema makes it far faster at write operations. Write time now is nearly independent of the number of indirect memberships involved.

Schema change that makes it impossible for spurious "bad memberships" to occur in direct or indirect memberships.

Membership assignments can have enabled/disabled dates where the membership might be enabled in the future, or disabled after a certain period of time.

Improved performance, configurability, and integration with Active Directory, as well as several other enhancements and fixes.

Updated to enable AJAX support, enable clustering, and several other fixes and enhancements.
