The Horde Team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of the Turba
Contact Manager version H3 (2.1).

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 a few bugs may still exist in the
code.

Testing is requested and comments are encouraged.
Updated translations would also be great.

Major changes compared to the Turba H3 (2.0) versions are:
    * Submenu with address books and "Add" and "Search" entries in sidebar.
    * Distribution lists can contain contacts from multiple sources.
    * Shared address books.
    * Paged browse view.
    * Add files and threaded comments to contacts.
    * Edit several contacts at once.
    * Improved CSV import.
    * Keep names optionally unformatted.
    * Export more than one vCard at once.
    * New language: Icelandic.
    * Drop cached searches.
    * Compatible with PHP 5.1.
    * Permissions managed completely though administration interface.
    * Permission to restrict number of contacts.
    * Command line script to batch import vCards.
