This is the first stable release in the GNOME 46 series, with the following improvements since 45.0:

• It's now possible to import multiple VCard files at once
• When importing new contacts, the confirmation dialog will also helpfully preview the names of the contacts to import
• Searching contacts just got a bit faster, with improved performance and reduces power consumption, especially on large contact lists.
• Searching for a contact through GNOME Shell and clicking it while editing an existing one could lead to a broken state. Now, Contacts will first confirm whether it's okay to stop editing
• A bug where (un)selecting a contact would fail when clicking the checkbox directly is now fixed
• Phone numbers are now always shown from left to right, regardless of the configured text direction

This release also updates translations in several languages.
