I have absolutely no idea for v1.3, but, if I remember correctly, quite
a few MIDI/SysEx glitches are solved between v1.0 and v1.2. I think
version 1.3 is only a minimal fix to version 1.2, there are about 50
different characters in the compiled binary files. I know, from posts
sent years ago here, that if we have 1.0, it's worth upgrading it to
something else.
Sorry if there's no list, Kawai itself might have it. I think there's
going to be more luck asking at Kawai of Japan, I'm going to send them
an e-mail now.
I never updated the K5's ROMs myself to tell you what there is
specifically, but since I've got a ROM programmer a few months ago, I
can do it. The chip I plan to buy is told to be 100% compatible with
what is currently in the synthesizer, and is told to work in my ROM
programmer.

Antoine,
Thanks for the reply. It is good that you sent an
e-mail to KOJ about it. When do you plan to
upgrade your own K5? How does the ROM programmer work?
Does anyone have access to the James Chandler
sample to additive K5 program? It was an older K5 program. Chandler had included
some nice examples of sample to additive including multis along with the
program. Very powerful.
