adx - addressbook.xml: 1.40.1 released

adx is a minimalistic but massively web enabled address book for contact management running completely in web browser. Own your data!

**Features: **
XML based address book, small (ca. 350KB), lightweight, configurable, portable, contact tagging, geo mapping, web accounts, vCard export as QR code or file, QR code generator (vCard, Wifi, free text), offline usage, etc.

How it works:
XML + XSLT = HTML
Your addressbook (XML file) is transformed in your web browser (via XSLT) to a full-featured web application (HTML).

Changelog for version 1.40.1 (2023-05-10) - bugfix release:

  • Fixed: Corrected wrong attribute name in documentation for new experimental formatting (XHTML, CSS): <misc format="xhtml">...</misc> (wrong: <misc type="xhtml">...</misc>). Only documentation is affected.
  • Fixed: External Tranformation to HTML with Saxon XSLT processor (saxon-he-11.5.jar) failed in case of multiple "org" elements in one contact

Unfortunately there was another typo in the adx Wiki how to enable Firefox local file access. Correct is to set the Firefox setting "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" to false. You need this if you want to open adx from local disk. See updated Wiki for details.

Changelog for version 1.40 (2023-05-01):

This long time release is on the one hand a maintenance release with several smaller improvements and fixes.

On the other hand it introduces bigger new experimental features for early evaluation (while being fully backward-compatible):

  • BETA: User settings are now also possible directy in addressbook.xml (instead of only xsl file).
  • ALPHA: Decide yourself which contact field is shown for quick access (on right side of a contact like phone nr): you just need to apply xml attribute access="quick" e.g. <email access="quick">mail@abc.com</email>
  • BETA: Use arbitrary (X)HTML formatting inside tag <misc format="xhtml"></misc>
  • BETA: Bring you own CSS formatting by in adx settings, e.g. <setting name="experimental__custom_css">.myBorders { border: 2px dotted; }</setting>
  • BETA: adx can be also used as some kind of µCMS (Micro Content Management System) by combining the new experimental features above

Update from a previous version of adx:

  • Just replace the file 'adx2html_phonelist.xsl' with the new one from this release
  • The file qrcodeUTF8.min.js can be removed (since adx v1.40 it's embedded directly into the XSL file adx2html_phonelist.xsl)
