[announce] Turba H3 (2.0-BETA)

[Jan Schneider]

The Horde Team is pleased to announce the first beta release of the Turba
Contact Manager version 2.0.

Turba is the Horde contact management application. It is a production level
address book, and makes heavy use of the Horde framework to provide
integration with IMP and other Horde applications.

This is a preview version that should not be used on production systems.  This
version is considered feature complete but there are still a few bugs, some of
which are listed below.  You should not use this preview version over existing
production data.

We encourage widespread testing and feedback via the mailing lists or our bug
tracking system.  Updated translations are very welcome, though some strings
will still change before the final release.

The major changes compared to the Turba 2.0-ALPHA version are:
    * Kolab server support.
    * Access keys.
    * Allow replacing address books with imports.
    * Mark certain fields as required.
    * Allow to group fields into tabs.
    * Persian translation.
    * Code cleanup.

Known issues:
    * Upgrade instructions and scripts have not been written yet.
