DistinguishedName and associated classes have been deprecated in favor of standard Java LdapName. See Dynamically Building Distinguished Names for information on how the library helps working with LdapNames.
Fluent LDAP query building support has been added. This makes for a more pleasant programming experience when working with LDAP searches in Spring LDAP. See Building LDAP Queries and Advanced LDAP Queries for more information about the LDAP query builder support.
The old authenticate methods in LdapTemplate have been deprecated in favor of a couple of new authenticate methods that work with LdapQuery objects and throw exceptions on authentication failure.
