------------------
This is the first version of a fork of the ``ldif`` module from `python-ldap
<http://www.python-ldap.org/>`_. For any changes before that, see the
documentation over there. The last version before the fork was 2.4.15.
The changes introduced with this version are:
- Dropped support for python < 2.7.
- Added support for python 3, including unicode support.
- All deprecated functions (``CreateLDIF``, ``ParseLDIF``) were removed.
- ``LDIFCopy`` and ``LDIFRecordList`` were removed.
- ``LDIFParser.handle()`` was removed. Instead, ``LDIFParser.parse()``
yields the records.
- ``LDIFParser`` has now a ``strict`` option that defaults to ``True``
for backwards-compatibility. If set to ``False``, recoverable parse errors
will produce log warnings rather than exceptions.
