+=== 16 Dec 2007, nsIAddressBook replaced by nsIAbManager ===
+Yesterday, I checked in the final patch in a set of patches that changed nsIAddressBook to be a service and renamed it to [http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mailnews/addrbook/public/nsIAbManager.idl nsIAbManager].
+The main thing to note is that nsIAbManager is a service and should be obtained via getService/do_GetService.
+nsIAbManager is intended to become the "heart" of the address book with its main aim to allow management of the address books and the notification system. We hope to soon merge the listener/notification functions from nsIAddrBookSession into it as well as other improvements to its functionality.

 Yesterday I checked in a fix for {{bug|124553}} - this fixes the problems where changes to the LDAP server parameters weren't always picked up by new searches. It also means the various attributes on [http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mailnews/addrbook/public/nsIAbLDAPDirectory.idl nsIAbLDAPDirectory] now always report up-to-date values.
-=== 03 Apr 2007, Downloading LDAP Address Books for off-line use ===
-SeaMonkey and Thunderbird releases have not been able to download LDAP address books for off-line use from servers that require authentication for several releases. Today I checked in the fix for that ({{bug|316170}}), so downloading for off-line use will now work for servers that require authentication and those that do not.
-You can try out the new functionality in the latest SeaMonkey 2.0a/Thunderbird 3.0a nightly builds.
