There's no information about 0.6.1 release on the website[0] and only after checking the release notes[2] in the repository had I found out that it has been release over a month ago. Would you mind updating the page to reflect it, please? I was meant to get in touch earlier regarding possible updates to the OpenBSD port[2] but only subscribed to the mailing list last week (hence my email) - looks like Scott beat me to it :^) Regards, Raf [0] http://abook.sourceforge.net/ [1] http://sourceforge.net/p/abook/git/ci/master/tree/RELEASE_NOTES [2] https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=143574632308538 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Abook-devel mailing list Abook-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/abook-devel
