What's new in AddressBookSync 1.6
Nov 1, 2010
- Sync options moved to preferences and used application-wide instead of on a per-match basis
- Sync option changes have fixed the issue some were having enabling birthday syncing
- Added a new sync option to overwrite existing birthday enteries in the Address Book
- Added a new option to match yourself if you would like to sync your own data to the user account in the Address Book
New in AddressBookSync 1.5 (Aug 28, 2010)
- Fixed major issue causing application hang during "Processing Friend Information" which affected many users.
- Added a new sync option to ignore syncing birthdays of friends who omit the year of their birthday on Facebook (the current year is usually used as a placeholder when the year information is not available).
New in AddressBookSync 1.4 (Sep 27, 2009)
- Updated to MKAbeFook v. 0.8.3 which is the latest version of the framework that handles the Facebook login procedures and API calls.
- A new sync option to sync a person's Facebook profile URL to a new URL field in the Address Book card. This should make it really easy to click directly to someone's full profile to manually enter phone number and email information.
New in AddressBookSync 1.3 (Jul 4, 2009)
- Bug fixes for both the manual matching panel and the sync options panel.
- Updated to MKAbeFook v. 0.8.2 which is the latest version of the framework that handles the Facebook login procedures and API calls.
- All available matches are now shown in the matched table, even if there is no data available to actually sync (due to the user's Facebook privacy settings for 3rd party apps).
- Data that is not available to sync from Facebook due to these privacy settings now grayed-out in the Sync Options panel and the checkbox is automatically unchecked.
New in AddressBookSync 1.2 (Feb 2, 2009)
- Manual Matching! There is now a list of "unmatched" Facebook friends which can be associated with an unmatched contact from Address Book.
- The ability to add new contacts to Address Book from the list of unmatched Facebook friends. The new contact card is pre-populated with any available data from Facebook (Name, Photo, Birthday, Location) and then added to a "Facebook" group in Address Book.
- A Sync Options panel now allows you to customize what data (picture, birthday, location) gets synchronized for each matched person. This panel is accessed from the context menu by ctrl- or right- clicking on a selection of people.
- Saving! The specific friends you sync and the data about them that gets synced is now saved automatically and persists each time you run the program. Chances are if you don't want to synchronize a contact the first time, you probably won't want to the next time either. Manually made matches and photo crop/zoom edits are also automatically saved.
- Diacritic-insensitive name matching now ignores accent marks and other special characters which previously prevented automatic name matching for some names.
- The ability to save Facebook login information. No need to authenticate to Facebook each time you run the program.
New in AddressBookSync 1.1.1 (Dec 8, 2008)
- Now transfers highest-resolution profile picture available instead of the lower-resolution Facebook thumbnails.
- New crop/scale feature to choose the best square portion of the higher-resolution profile picture. Double-click on any match to activate the editing sheet.
- Now shows the current Address Book picture side-by-side with the latest Facebook picture to make it easier to decide whether or not to sync the match.
- Birthday synchronization no longer overwrites any existing birthday field entries in Address Book. This was an issue because if a Facebook user did not specify a birthday year the program would save the month and day of the birthday with the current year, possibly overwriting correct birthday year information already in Address Book.
- AddressBookSync no longer matches the logged in person to Address Book. Too many people didn't want their Facebook picture overwriting their OS X user picture.
