- Restore the features of interacting with Skype. Skype had changed its way of being interacting with other programs through Windows messages, resulting in features broken. This was just fixed by using Skype4COM.
- Bug fixed: When using SyncML for Open Contacts, if the server has contacts deleted, this bug will fail the sync. In addition, in some older version of SyncML for Open Contacts, if there are multiple contacts deleted, the progress bar could not reflect the progress accurately, though the sync is successful. V1.3.4 has this fixed.
- Multiple relationships to a contact is represent by a link denoted by multiple tags separated by comma. If you try to create a new link upon an existing link to a contact, the relationship tags will be expanded. For example, if you defined John is Andy's manager, and then when you try to create define John is Andy's uncle, you will have the relationship tagged as "Manager, Uncle". Surely you may simple modify the relationship directly.
- Batch processing: change a relationship tag of all contacts containing the tag.
- In the Search Contacts window, you may search contacts of any of the selected categories.
- When importing from CSV, the maximum length of each column imported could be up to 256 letters from previous 80, and for a notes field, the maximum length is 1024 letter.
- Improve the handling of birthday reminder. If the birthday of a person is on 29th of February in a leap year, in the past the birthday was made 28th of February. Now the birthday is made the last day of February. Please note, Mozilla Sunbird v0.9 has wrong interpretation of the ByMonthDay attribute of the iCalendar standard; when importing the ics file, the birthday will become the last day of January. If you are using Sunbird, you may need to manually fix it.
- A category name may now has up to 128 letters.
- Importing from XML can handle mail merge links now.

- A predefined dynamic field can support multi-line. When defining a predefined field, check the "multi-line" checkbox. The field may display 2 - 4 lines. If more lines were inputted, you need to scroll down. This multi-line is handy for fields like street and address.
- When copying email addresses of selected contacts to Windows Clipboard, you may have the addresses separated by comma or semicolon.
- In previous versions, if you have more than 1500 selected contacts, some operations may fail. These bugs are fixed.
- The database structure was re-constructed and optimized, thus if you are using Open Contacts 5, a migration process will kick in.
