Since CafePress is still lacking any kind of Mono project stuff, I decided to make one of my own.

There is nothing better than starting you morning with a good cup of Mono…

We’ve launched DirectoryServices beta version, available now for all Mono and Grasshopper developers.

DirectoryServices beta gives you all the ability to interact with LDAP-compliant directory service by browsing, creating and modifying directory entries. The new mechanism for defining default LDAP server is introduced, completed by ability of querying RootDSE server entry.
Beta version still lacks authentication and encryption features as well as some advanced search filtering limitations. In addition, schema information retrieval is not supported yet.

The source code for beta as well as a project and solution files for Visual Studio are available from Mono anonymous SVN repository, namely at
svn://svn.myrealbox.com/source/trunk/mcs/class/System.DirectoryServices revision 46945 and
svn://svn.myrealbox.com/source/trunk/mcs/class/Novell.Directory.Ldap revision 46945.

If you’re too lazy to work with code, and want just to play with beta, you can always download System.DirectoryServices binaries (for Grasshopper only).

Mono 1.1.8 has been released on June 16th, 2005.
Also it has a lof of new nice features like Visual Studio solution to build Mono on Windows and others, my contribution is only a lot of bugfixes.
It is not good to work for two releases simultaneously – you always miss one
