+changes from 0.4.1 to 0.5
+-------------------------
+
+* major structural changes in the LDAP lookup code using a newly implemented
+  module that does memory management, session handling, paging and all other
+  painful things with a simple interface
+* rewritten LDAP query and result handling code, now generating warnings
+  about incorrect entries in the LDAP directory
+* IPv6 addresses in host lookups are now supported
+* added Kerberos ccname support (with the krb5_ccname option) thanks to
+  Andreas Schneider and Ralf Haferkamp from SuSE and remove --with-gssapi-dir,
+  --enable-configurable-krb5-ccname-gssapi and
+  --enable-configurable-krb5-ccname-env configure options and having automatic
+  detection instead
+* added support for DNS SRV record lookups by specifying DNS as uri thanks to
+  Ralf Haferkamp and Michael Calmer from SuSE
+* added support for DOMAIN as base DN which uses the host's domain to
+  construct a DN
+* removed nss_connect_policy, bind_policy and sizelimit options
+* cleaned up and documented reconnect logic with reconnect_tries,
+  reconnect_sleeptime and reconnect_maxsleeptime options
+* configuration values with spaces in them (e.g. distinguished names) are now
+  handled properly

+* miscellaneous code improvements (better source code comments, more
+  consistent logging, portability improvements, more tests, etc)
