+changes form 0.6.1 to 0.6.2
+---------------------------
+
+* all user and group names are now checked for validity are specified in the
+  POSIX Portable Filename Character Set
+* support retrieval of ranged attribute values as sometimes returned by Active
+  Directory
+* added the threads keyword to configure the number of threads that should be
+  started in nslcd
+* handle empty netgroups properly
+* change the time out and retry mechanism for connecting to the LDAP server to
+  return an error quickly if the LDAP server is known to be unavailable for a
+  long time (this removed the reconnect_tries option and changes the meaning
+  of the reconnect_sleeptime and reconnect_maxsleeptime options)
+* increased the time out values between the NSS module and nslcd because of
+  new retry mechanism
+* implement new dict and set modules that use a hashtable to map keys
+  efficiently
+* use the new set to store group membership to simplify memory management and
+  eliminate duplicate members
+* the uniqueMember attribute now only supports DN values
+* implement a cache for DN to user name lookups (15 minute timeout) used for
+  the uniqueMember attribute to save on doing LDAP searches for groups with a
+  lot of members, based on a patch by Petter Reinholdtsen
+* improvements to the tests
+* if any of the ldap calls return LDAP_UNAVAILABLE or LDAP_SERVER_DOWN the
+  connection is closed
+* improve dependencies in LSB init script header to improve dependency based
+  booting
