ChangeLog:
 - configurable views (Cedric Duval)
 - new field types, lists and improved custom field support (Cedric Duval)
 - Italian translation (Claudio Stazzone)


This the first release include support for dynamic views:

* Dynamic views with up to 35 fields per view.
* In absence of user configuration, abook behaves and displays mostly
  like previous releases.
* Arbitrary number of email addresses internally. Still limited to
  9 for practical reasons with the UI.
* Addresses can be rolled both directions (esc-r).

Let's just wait for final 0.6.0, shall we? If upstream didn't push it out yet (pre2 has been out for several months), then it's not that great, obviously.
