 # Basic LDAP v3 functionality for the GO programming language.
 
 The library implements the following specifications:
- - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4511 for basic operations
- - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3062 for password modify operation
- - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4514 for distinguished names parsing
- - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4533 for Content Synchronization Operation
- - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-armijo-ldap-treedelete-02 for Tree Delete Control
- - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2891 for Server Side Sorting of Search Results
- - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4532 for WhoAmI requests

- - "Who Am I" Requests / Responses
- - Searching for entries (normal and asynchronous)
- - Filter Compile / Decompile

 ## Go Modules:
 
 `go get github.com/go-ldap/ldap/v3`
 
-As go-ldap was v2+ when Go Modules came out, updating to Go Modules would be considered a breaking change.
-
-To maintain backwards compatability, we ultimately decided to use subfolders (as v3 was already a branch).
-Whilst this duplicates the code, we can move toward implementing a backwards-compatible versioning system that allows for code reuse.
-The alternative would be to increment the version number, however we believe that this would confuse users as v3 is in line with LDAPv3 (RFC-4511)

-
-To install with `GOMODULE111=off`, use `go get github.com/go-ldap/ldap`
-https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Legacy_GOPATH_go_get
-
-As always, we are looking for contributors with great ideas on how to best move forward.
