- all (sql) accounts have now allways a contact associated with them (account_id is added as new column to the contacts table)
- contacts queries are simplefied a lot now, as no more join with the accouns-table, union and case when statesments are necessary
- lot of the special handling for accounts in the contacts class is no longer needed
- new contact-repository mode "sql-ldap" which additional writes all changes to the ldap repository, to allow to use it read-only from eg. thunderbird and still have the full sql speed and features within eGW (not yet fully working!)
==> requites update of API and addressbook to work (setup!)
- User accounts are an own addressbook now
- every user and group (can) have an own addressbook
- for groups the accessrights no longer depend on the creator
- new acl for adding into an addressbook
- all addressbooks can be displayed together (eg. accounts mixed with personal and group AB's)
- some useful new fields (photo, private cellphone, ...) and some obscure ones have been removed
- db update puts all contacts in the owners personal addressbook (further manual migration tools will follow), thought the UI already allows to mass-move them into a group-addressbook
- group addressbooks in SQL are created by making a group-grant for addressbook (like filemanger)
- Warning: all import/export/xmlrpc/syncml stuff and other apps accessing the addressbook is broken until the contacts class in the API gets fixed!
- it depends on further updates of etemplate, phpgwapi, admin!
==> it's pretty cool (specialy the foto's), but NOT ready for a production server !!!
Admin can now define multiple addressbooks each with an own edit / view template and an own icon.
Atm. all Addressbooks are stored in one backend, but this will change soon^tm
