+# AssetManager 0.5.5.29
+
+- Added a configurable LDAP debug-logging option under authentication settings.
+- Reduced normal LDAP logs to the searched username, lookup result, and authentication result.
+- Detailed LDAP connection settings, search filters, distinguished names, attributes, provider results, and stack traces are written only while LDAP debug logging is enabled.
+- Set LDAP debug logging to disabled by default for new configurations.
+- Translated remaining German source-code comments and developer docstrings into English.
+- Kept localized user-interface text and translations unchanged.
+- No database schema changes were introduced.
