Version 1.1.4 of the Tcladdressbook extension is just a technical upgrade from version 1.1.3:

* it fixes a refcount issue related to the multidictionary values which could crash the host application in some circumstances

For a list of all features in version 1.1, see the notes at
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=257525

Version 1.1.3 does not bring any new features. It is a technical upgrade for compatibility with new versions of Tcl. You should use it if you have upgraded to Tcl 8.4.9 (or greater) because version 1.1.2 of the TclAddressBook extension won't work with it. Version 1.1.3 is linked against the stub Tcl library to ensure that this sort of compatibility issues won't happen anymore.
