This quick update turned out to take a bit longer than anticipated.
The primary addition is the option to enable "contains" search for names. This was introduced in 2.5 and removed in 2.6 due to the volume of search results often returned. However, enough folks protested so its now an option (which is what I should have done in 2.6 - lesson learned).
I also found and fixed a memory leak during sync which was causing some crashes. Let me know if you used to have sync issues but no longer do with 2.7.
Finally, one of the biggest, perhaps controversial change is the View/Edit features. Per my forum post, there are problems associated with certain services, mainly MobileMe. This service has no concept of a consistent unique identifier, which means that when you click the View/Edit button it would often no longer be there! This is why it would break and give you an error message. However, this works just fine for other services, such as Exchange.
Therefore, I decided to make View/Edit an option that defaults to Off. I couldn't see how I could go backwards and pull it entirely. However, its very confusing for MobileMe users as there is no workaround for this. No unique ID is a killer - at best I could guess based on name but that would fail certain percentage of the time. So, please enable it until you detect its not working. If I have some flash of brilliance and find a way around this, I'll be sure to update the app.
