January 30th, 2001 - LDAP Browser/Editor 2.8.1 released. It is a maintenance release containing a number of bug fixes and improvements.

Also, the DnD and the copy-and-paste interface was updated to allow copying of  a DN of an entry into an attribute of another entry, thus, allowing for example, adding a user to a group, or even creating a v3 referral.
