add branch alias for composer

[glensc]

this way i could add to my composer deps:

        "adldap/adldap": "~5.0.0",

even if you have not yet tagged any 5.0.x version

[glensc]

btw, adldap/adldap points to https://github.com/ztec/adLDAP.git, not here, what's up with that?

[glensc]

also, it's very messy right now with composer & adldap and everything related to adldap multiple homepages, multiple forks, everything in the middle of something. even version control commits seem to be missing (why not import all code from sourceforge to github, why start new project....)

for example i put to my composer "adldap/adldap": "~4.0.2", but i got something different than 4.0.4 zip downloaded from sourceforge site, it contains namespaces, while adldap/adldap github page says namespaces came with 5.0.0

don't know which doc to trust or not.

The original developers stopped maintaining adldap.
@stevebauman and the community now developing Adldap2.
It's a modern, test covered, and improved version of the original Adldap with great compatibility to that it's original counterpart.
However, it's not released yet but close to completion!

After it's finished, @stevebauman will try to take over the adldap/adldap package on Packagist.

Visit the Adldap2 repository for more information.

PS: There are information to help you upgrading to Adlap2 v5.

Yeah, ignore the others @glensc—Adldap2 is where it's at. :-)

By the way, are you integrating with any particular framework or CMS? I'm trying to make a list of everywhere Adldap(2) is used.

[glensc]

i was just looking replacement for Net_LDAP2 PEAR package, as the adLDAP mentioned it can work with plain ldap (openldap) as well, i thought if the code is nice, it could work.

[glensc]

ps: is there announcement or blog or anything explaining why original devs (and who they are) stopped? so sourceforge site is considered dead?

[strebl]

Unfortunately not. They did just stop develop and did leave the adLDAP organisation: https://github.com/adldap.
