Contacts 0.9 Released

contacts.png
Plenty of bugs fixed in this version. I am hoping to use this as the release candidate for version 1.0, so please send in any updated translations either to me (thomas at openedhand.com) or attach them straight to bugzilla. Also, I haven’t fixed many Maemo issues because we don’t really support the Maemo version (Maemo already has an address book anyway…). However, I’m more than willing to apply patches if people are able to supply them.

I’d like to add a special thanks to Adrien Bustany and Gilles Dartiguelongue for their patches that I’ve included in this release. If anyone else has any (small) feature of bug fix they would like to see done before 1.0, now is the time to start working on your patches!
