This is the first major release since the project was graciously moved to open maintenance via the ldapjs GitHub organization. Thank you to @melloc for making the organization a reality, and to all those who have contributed to this release.

Personally, I wanted to get a lot more done before issuing this release. But I have not had the necessary time (or fortitude) to dedicate to get it up to where I wanted. However, this release has been serving people quite well for some time via the rc-phase. So at @UziTech's urging (#604), I am publishing this release.

Truly, it is time to move this needle forward. The main goal of this release was to make ldapjs compatible with the most recent releases of Node.js core, and that has been accomplished. It won't be much longer before the next LTS of core is released and the oldest current LTS is retired. So we need to get a release out that supports that to-be retired LTS.
