UTF-8 in DSEditor.properties

The DSEditor.properties files are now read using the character encoding UTF-8 instead of ISO8859-1.

LDAP Exceptions

Exceptions thrown by the LDAP directory are now only written to the log file, and not displayed to the end user. The user will get a general error message instead.

Attribute filter execution order

The init, presave and postsave filters for attributes are now being executed in a predefined order instead of a random order. The order is based on the attributes position in the form, using the y-position as the primary sorting order and the x-position as the secondary sorting order.

This might be useful if one attribute filter is depending on that another attribute filter has already been executed.
