Unfortunately yes. PR1.3 breaks mycontacts and the worst part is that if you run mycontacts after the upgrade you will loose your groups (all your settings will be saved but the contacts on each group will be removed).


EDIT:THERE IS A NEW VERSION OF MYCONTACTS ON EXTRAS-DEVEL THAT WORKS ON PR1.3 OUT OF THE BOX.


I will publish a new version of mycontacts soon but in the meanwhile:

IF YOU HAVEN'T STARTED MyContacts AFTER PR1.3 DON'T START JUST YET (READ FIRST):

1. If you have mycontacts running, select shutdown
2. You will have to edit the file
Code:
/home/user/.config/Crochik/MyContacts.conf
(*) the file is on a hidden folder - the easiest way to edit it is using vi on the xterminal

3. Change ONLY the line
Code:
Backend=maemo5-crochik
to

Code:
Backend=maemo5
4. Start the application again.
