Product Description:

Share your contacts with other mac users on your network. Address Book Server also supports synchronisation over the internet from remote locations. Address Book Server uses web services to offer a central relational database accessible using Address Book Client.

What's new in this version:

  • Conï¬?guration Backup folder
    • Up to now the backup folder was rather difï¬?cult to access. You can specify the path to the backups folder in the setenv.sh ï¬?le in the bin folder.
  • Restore and manage backup files
    • It is now possible to restore backups via the web interface. The restore feature will schedule the restore for the next time the server is restarted. The server can be stopped via the web interface as well, and should be restarted automatically by launchd.
  • Read-Only access to absread user
    • If you installing a new instance of the server a new default user with read-only rights will be created. Please access : http://localhost:8080/admin/users.jsf to conï¬?gure your current users with read as well as write permissions.
  • Reports
    • These reports have been available for some time however you might not be aware of this feature. ABS server can now be used to produce LDIF and vCard ï¬?les for the all contacts. Individual contacts can also be exported as vCards.
  • Sort and display order
    • In the Conï¬?g menu each user can specify the sort order and display preferences. These conï¬?gurations also apply to ABCMobile on the iPhone.
  • Changes to Complete Sync Mode
    • There was a problem with the complete sync mode which caused deletions to be fetched from the server. In complete sync mode all active records from the server are compared against those held on the clientʼs iSync truth database. Any records which are in the truth database, but not received from the server are considered to have been deleted. So there is no need to fetch any previously deleted records from the server as iSync ï¬?gures out the deletions itself. The effects of fetching the deletions as well, caused particular problems with iCal records and made it difï¬?cult to move items between calendars. This should not be resolved.
  • Updated Translations
    • The Address Book Client Preference pane has been updated to support Italian. The French and German editions have also been updated. Thanks to Michele for all her help with this.

Address Book Server ReviewWHY IS THIS CALLED A BETA? - Version: 18/6/09, 6/26/2009 07:54PM PST

If it's a beta, it should not cost users to basically beta test--it should be free for the duration of testing.

I've never paid to beta test anything. Ever. If anything, the beta testers are part of the development process.

If it's freeware, it should be free.

If you charge for it, it is not a beta--IT IS SHAREWARE.

VERY DECEPTIVE AND NOT ETHICAL.

I have this software running without a hitch since almost a year. It just works, no problems. The developer provided excellent, proactive support to fix the error I made during installation.
