The code is currently based on the "release" packages as it was meant as 
proof-of-concept. It works pretty good so far, I tested it with 8.000 
contacts. See also here: http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=4638

The code needs polishing before it can be released. As the internal data 
handling is now completly based around the cache, it was impossible
to reuse the current Kolab code. This is something I wanted to avoid
in the first place, but there is no other way of properly
solving the speed issues. I'll try to prepare a preview in January.

Best regards,
