Hello everybody,
I've changed the name of the python3-ldap project to ldap3, the same
name of the importing package, as suggested in the Package User Guide
(https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/index.html) by the Python
Packaging Authority. Hope this will help to avoid confusion with the
former python-ldap package.

Also, I've moved to GitHub (https://github.com/cannatag/ldap3) and
I've set up a cloud lab where tests are automatically performed with
Travis-CI (https://travis-ci.org/cannatag/ldap3). Documentation is now
automaticallyh builded and hosted at https://ldap3.readthedocs.org.
Tests are performed with Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.4, PyPy 2,4
and PyPy3 2.4.

Previous bugs on BitBucket are closed. Bugs and suggestions can be
submitted with the new tracker at
https://github.com/cannatag/ldap3/issues/new.

Python3-ldap 0.9.7 will remain on pypi for some time. Develop will
proceed only on GitHub and new release will be available with the
ldap3 project at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ldap3

I've released v 0.9.7.1 of ldap3. This release has two major changes:
the test suite is fully refactored to be used on Travis-CI with some
ldap servers hosted in the cloud (eDirectory, Active Directory and
OpenLDAP). The other change regards the constants defined in the ldap3
namespace. I've changed the constants values from int to a more
descriptive string, This should not be a problem if you use the
constant names and not its value (as it should be if you import them
the ldap3 package), and it's quite helpful while debugging.

This is the changelog for the 0.9.7.1 release of ldap3.
* 0.9.7.1 2015.01.05
    - Moved to Github
    - Moved to Travis-CI for continuous integration
    - Moved to ReadTheDocs for documentation
    - Moved testing servers in the cloud, to allow testing from Travis-CI
    - Project renamed from python3-ldap to ldap3 to avoid name
clashing with the existing python-ldap library
    - Constant values in ldap3 are now strings. This is helpful in
testing and debugging
    - Test suite fully refactored to be used in cloud lab and local
development lab
    - Test suite includes options for testing against eDirectory,
Active Directory and OpenLDAP


Bye,
Giovanni Cannata
