Wren:DS 5.0.0 Released

May 16, 2023

We are excited to announce that the brand new release of Wren:DS 5.0.0 is finally out! This is the first release of Wren:DS that is fully independent of the legacy infrastructure. Its technological stack has been updated to be compatible with JDK 17, and all changes have been carefully curated to provide a high level of security while still offering a reliable migration path from legacy OpenDJ installations.

If you are already running Wren:DS or an unsupported version of OpenDJ, we strongly recommend that you upgrade, as only the new versions will receive the support they deserve.

What's next? Wren:AM. Stay tuned!
