Ganymede is a GPL'ed metadirectory system.  Ganymede provides support
for concurrent, team-based management of network directory services.
It features a multithreaded database server with support for plug-in
Java classes to customize the structure, management, and distribution
of network directory data.  Ganymede allows large groups of
administrators to share administrative control over designated
portions of a master network directory database, and provides
transactional reliability and intelligent constraint management to
keep network directories consistent.  Ganymede keeps complete audit
trails for all activity and can send email notification of relevant
directory changes to every member of your admin team, keeping
administrative teams coordinated and effective.  Ganymede's
sophisticated graphical user interface is designed to provide a high
enough level of ease and safety of use to allow even relatively
untrained users to make changes to the directory database.

Ganymede has been designed and implemented over a six year period to
act as the glue that holds your admin teams and your directory
services together.

Lots of minor feature additions, lots of small bug fixes, and a good
bit of code maintainability changes that we have put together over the
last four months for this release.  See the CHANGES file at
http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/gash2/CHANGES for complete details on the
changes made in 1.0.10.

Note that there are a couple of incompatibilities between the 1.0.9
and 1.0.10 versions of Ganymede as far as client/server communications
are concerned, so if you upgrade to 1.0.10, be sure and upgrade all of
your clients as well.  There are a couple of internal class changes on
the server that could affect plugin classes, but none of the plugin
code we have seen should be affected by them.  When in doubt, take a
close look at the CHANGES file.
