Two new stable releases of MySource Matrix were released last Monday. Version 3.14.3 is the latest release on the 3.14.x (current stable) branch, fixing 13 bugs. Version 3.12.7 is the latest release on the 3.12.x (old stable) branch, fixing 11 bugs. Both versions also contain a change to LDAP Bridge; the password field is now ignored when a blank Bind DN is used - allowing easier switching to and from anonymous binding. Users of earlier versions of MySource Matrix are encouraged to upgrade to these latest versions. Also, the first release candidate of 3.16 branch of MySource Matrix, a.k.a. version 3.16.0 RC1, was released on Monday. This release offers almost 50 new features and improvements to MySource Matrix. This release is provided for evaluation of the new features of the 3.16 branch only; no support is provided for upgrading from earlier versions to the release candidate. A full upgrade guide will be compiled and made available upon the stable release of 3.16.0. The next scheduled release of MySource Matrix is on Monday, 3rd September, when the first stable release of 3.16.0, along with stable releases of 3.14.4 and 3.12.8, will be made available to the public. Please note that 3.12.8 will be the last supported version on the 3.12.x branch, and users are strongly encouraged to move to the 3.14.x or 3.16.x branch if possible.
