LDAP Administration Tool (LAT) 1.1.90 has been released. This is the
first beta for the 1.2 release. Check it out. If you find any bugs,
please report them.

If you are interested in a doing a translation of the program/manual the
strings should be stable and you can begin. If you are packaging LAT for
your Linux distribution, try this new release and if you have any
concerns let me know.

Depending on the feedback, there might be another beta release in a
couple of weeks or if there are no problems at all, then maybe we¢ll
just move into release candidates. The current plan is to release 1.2.0
in early October.

WHAT IS LAT?
------------
LAT stands for LDAP Administration Tool. The tool allows you to browse
LDAP-based directories and add/edit/delete entries contained within. It
can store profiles for quick access to different servers. There are also
different views available such as Users, Groups and Hosts which allow
you to easily manage objects without having to deal with the intricacies
of LDAP.

      * User, Group Computer, Contact views
      * Directory browser 
      * Schema browser 
      * LDIF imports and exports
