June 1st, 2011· Synchronisation performance gains of up to 400% in some cases.
· Changed behaviour for automatic group membership in LDAP directories: In previous releases, users were added to the given groups each time they logged in.

For more information, see Connecting to an LDAP Directory.
· Automatic user creation for internal directories with LDAP authentication: You can now configure the directory to automatically copy the user from LDAP to the internal directory on first login, and to add the user to given groups. See Connecting to an Internal Directory with LDAP Authentication.

Additionally, a raft of new JQL functions give you many powerful new searching options, such as the ability to search an issue's change history.
