Release contacts 1.5.6

[phil-davis]

Because of issue #708 fixed by PR #709

Someone needs to check if the problem is just related to recent changes in core master, and thus a release is only needed along with core 10.7.1. Or if the release needs to/can work with older ownCloud core 10.7, 10.6...

Is a new release also needed to work with 10.8.0 ?

[phil-davis]

I am not sure. Someone needs to check if the current marketplace-released/bundled contacts app has UI working nicely with a core 10.8.0 system. (CI is not going to tell us that, because various JS libraries have been updated in PR #709 in master of this repo)

If we decide to do a new release, then we need to either: 1) set the core min version to 10.8.0, or; 2) manually verify that the latest contacts app code works correctly on older core 10.* versions (info.xml currently has owncloud min-version="10.2" so we would have to decide how many version back to test, and set min-version appropriately)

Issues seen while testing

"UI working nicely" is not how I would phrase it. Let's say "almost acceptably" :-)

• [ ] #718
• [ ] #719
• [ ] #720

Same with server 10.7.0 -- apart from that, contacts works "fine" for me on 10.8.0 RC1 !
