The Safehaus Penrose team is proud to announce their 1.0 release. Penrose is a java-based virtual directory. Virtual directory enables federating (aggregating) identity data from multiple heterogeneous sources like directory, databases, flat files, and web services - real-time - and makes it available to identity consumers via LDAP. It includes a graphical GUI to allow point-and-click mapping.

Penrose 1.0 incorporates many new features:
* SSL support (with JDK 1.5).
* LDAP Proxy support.
* Samba support.
* Penrose Studio enhancements.
* Various samples.
* Various bug fixes.

Many thanks to all those who helped build and test this release!

Blogging might be back online now... stay tuned...

Ultimately we'll move away from movable type as it is no longer developed with an appropriate licence for our needs; and we want something that seamlessly integrates with LDAP.
