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) https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4511
For more info, please visit the pull request that updated to modules. #247
To install with GOMODULE111=off, use go get github.com/go-ldap/ldap
