=== 19 Aug 2007, Read-only integration with Mac OS X Address Book ===
For latest news keep an eye on the [http://planet.mozilla.org/ planet.mozilla.org blog feeds] or more specifically [https://blog.mozilla.org/standard8/ Mark's] and [http://quetzalcoatal.blogspot.com/ Joshua's] blogs.
 
Trunk (SeaMonkey 2.0a1pre/Thunderbird 3.0a1pre) nightly builds now have the capability to access the Mac OS X address book in a read-only fashion. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203927#c169 for how to set it up. Bugs/issues with the integration should be filed as new bugs after having first checked for duplicates.
 
=== 19 June 2007, Changing LDAP server parameters ===
 
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.
 
=== 08 Mar 2007, Overriding the default LDAP Address Book schema ===
 
Recently I checked in ({{bug|370004}}) which means all the functionality relating to overriding the default LDAP Address Book schema should now work in SeaMonkey 1.1.1 (and above) and Thunderbird 2.0 (when released).
 
I've also got round to writing [[MailNews:LDAP Address Books|brief documentation]] on how to do it.
 
=== 10 Feb 2007, csv import/export - Multi-line notes ===
 
I checked in {{bug|182128}} earlier today (into trunk) which now means notes on multiple lines are supported in csv files. You'll be able to try this functionality out in the latest SeaMonkey 2.0a/Thunderbird 3.0a nightly builds.

The [[MailNews:Address Book RoadMap|roadmap]] isn't detailed but gives a general short-long term outlook on where the address book is heading.
The [[MailNews:Address Book RoadMap|roadmap]] isn't always detailed but gives a general short to medium term outlook on where the address book is heading.


The roadmap also gives some idea of the work currently in progress.
The roadmap also gives some idea of the work currently in progress. We try to predict where something will land, but it doesn't always happen due to developers needing to work on other things.
 
Unfortunately, we can't give timescales as time available for developers is limited.
