[announce] Turba H3 (2.3-RC1)

[mrubinsk at horde.org]

The Horde Team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of the Turba
Contact Manager version H3 (2.3).

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. It supports SQL, LDAP,
Kolab, and IMSP address books.

Barring any problems, this code will be released as Turba H3 (2.3).
Testing is requested and comments are encouraged.
Updated translations would also be great.

Turba version H3 (2.3) is a major upgrade in the 2.x release series, including
these enhancements:
     * Added support for logos and photos (requires Horde 3.3).
     * Added support for marking a contact as your own.
     * Improved Kolab support.
     * Improved vCard support.
     * Improved import and export support.
     * Improved deleting user data.
     * Further bugfixes and improvements.
