blackvoid Contact(s)! 1.0 - Beta

If you are unaware, Synology has a Beta channel program for their various applications. Since they have started to pull away some apps from the core of their NAS OS, DSM, they also started to introduce some apps inside this beta channel for testing before rolling them out to the public.

Being a member of the beta channel is nothing special and of course it’s not mandatory. Still, with it, you are able to get your hands on some apps that might in the future become standard separate application package or a part of a bigger package (same happened with Numbers app until it became part of Synology Office package).

Today I will focus on a brand new, remaster if you will, application called Contacts. In its current 1.0 version it offers much more than the previous (current) CardDAV, so let’s see what this is all about.

Does this replace the existing CardDAV server, or simply use it as is?

I guess this will be a future replacement. Atm, there are both (Contacts and CardDAV server), but they are known to kill one app and add another with more features. We will have to wait and see.

Except Mail Server and MailPlus Server. If they kill Mail Server it will be a mahooosive PITA since they charge so much for MailPlus licences.

@Rusty I sent your nom de plume a message about a couple of typo's.
