When I want to find out what has happened to the latest release of the wonderful OpenLDAP, I have not found an easier alternative to downloading the large source code tarball, then reading the CHANGES file. Now you point it out, yes, it would be so great if that information were easily accessible from the web site.

Okay, after finishing my current work commitments, I will raise it on the mailing list.

OpenLDAP CHANGES

I haven't used OpenLDAP myself, but this looks like a changelog:

http://www.openldap.org/software/release/changes.html

from
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=openldap+changelog&btnG=Search
second hit.

I'd say (given that the Etherboot changelog was on SourceForge, as tzafrir pointed out), that the problem isn't that the documentation is unavailable, it is that people don't know where to look for it (so we need more and better pointers to it in the release announcements).
