UnboundID has released version 1.1.1 of the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. This release adds a number of enhancements and bug fixes over the previous 1.1.0 release. The release notes provide a more complete overview of the changes in this release, but some of the most significant changes include:

• We have found and corrected a bug that could cause the LDAP SDK to encounter an error and terminate the client connection if the server returned a response message in multiple parts, where the first part did not contain at least the complete BER type and length and there was a delay before the next packet(s) containing the remainder of the length.
• There have been a number of significant updates to the searchrate, modrate, and authrate tools. The accuracy of the recent rates has been improved, and they have been updated to provide information about any non-success results returned by the server. The searchrate and modrate tools have been updated to support the use of the proxied authorization v2 control to request that operations be processed using an alternate authorization identity.
• The ValuePattern class has been updated so that it supports obtaining data from files (either on the local filesystem or remotely via HTTP) rather than using numeric values within a specified range.
• The behavior that the LDAP SDK exhibits when attempting to interact with a completely unresponsive server (e.g., for a system that is powered off, has the network cable disconnected, or has the server process forcibly stopped). Previously, the connect timeout may not have always been honored, and it was not possible to define operation timeouts for bind or extended operations. Further, the error message included in the exception resulting from a client-side timeout has been updated to include the type of operation and the length of time the client had waited for a response to the operation.
• Client-side support for matching rule evaluation has been improved. It is now possible to select a matching rule by OID, and it is possible to make use of a matching rule ID in a sort key used for client-side sorting.
• Schema parsing code has been updated to trim any leading or trailing spaces that may be contained in schema definitions. Even though leading or trailing spaces are technically not allowed, some servers don’t enforce this restriction, and the LDAP SDK has been updated to properly handle definitions containing them.
