Release notes
This milestone is completely in the light of extended Views integration. In 6.x-2.0-alpha2, you already had "basic" Views integration, meaning you could create a view of addresses using fields. The 6.x-2.0-beta1 version brings much more, especially access related features. This are the new features:
- Create a View using the address row style, allowing you to create an address listing themed just like in the address book;
- When using fields: view, edit and delete links;
- Filter the View by address access;
- In arguments/contextual filters: validators for address access;
- Address access checks for Views displays;
- A View to replace the address book page (this View is disabled by default).

Plans for the next release
There are not much plans for the next release, other then stabilizing the module more and backporting features or API changes from the 7.x-1.x version.
Missing a feature?
I plan to create a first release candidate for the 6.x-2.0 series in early July, 2013. From then on, I plan to move my focus on to other projects which means I'll be spending less time on this project.
So, if there is a feature you really would like to get in, then go on and help to make it happen! You don't have to be a coder to help: you could also help with writing a plan on how you would like the feature to work, eventually provided with graphical designs. I'm willing to help with coding if the feature is well enough described.
Keep in mind though, that new features usually should go in the 7.x-1.x version first and then become candidate for a backport to the 6.x-2.x version. The other way around is possible if you are willing to do most of the coding yourself. I'm willing to port this code to the 7.x-1.x version if the feature is still relevant for that branch.
Some issues are already in consideration for the 7.x-1.x version (see #1910860: Ubercart Addresses roadmap), though they may not make it when there is not enough interest in them.
