[Passwordsafe-users] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.12

[ronys <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.12.

This is a minor release - some annoying bugs have been fixed, some minor
features have been added or improved upon.  
Thanks to DK his work on this release, and to all the folks who reported
bugs and tested pre-release versions.

Bugs fixed in 3.12

[1855658, 1436850] Implement font for password display correctly.
[1850271] Save after Compare no longer corrupts database.
[1849881, 700973] Pressing a character in the List view will now jump to the
next entry with text beginning with that character in the second column.
This is a change from previous behaviour, which only looked in the first
column, now occupied by the icon.
[1849830] Help now works properly for Manage->Option, displaying the
relevant topic.
[1849818] Browse-to no longer falsely reports "failed to browse to URL".
[1843631] "Browse to Icon" now correctly shown using new Toolbar.
[1841525] Increasing the number of passwords saved no longer deletes the
existing Password History.
[1833609, 1535341, 1502036] Fully support multiple monitors.
[1749268] Mouse clicks on tree view plus/minus boxes now works correctly.
[1670193] Better Vista support (Allow use of Windows Common Controls V6 with
Vista).
[1478022] User no longer needs to save a restored database before it can be
exported.
[1440693] Fix standard keyboard access to context menu (Shift+F10).
[] Allow Expand/Collapse for read-only databases via toolbar.
[] Set focus to new view on switching between Tree <-> List views.
[] Update toolbar when view changes (List <-> Tree).
[] Set title bar text when opening a database at startup.
[] Allow List view to process all characters e.g. Page Up/Down, Home, End,
Arrows etc.
[] Fix program crash on clicking CompareResults dialog header.
[] Toolbar Save button correctly enabled after drag & drop operations.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.12

[1885710, 1852862] When re-showing the Find toolbar, any existing search
argument is selected to allow easier deletion and modification.
[1865009] Give user advanced option to ignore whitespace-only differences
during compare.
[1846688, 1224373] When generating a new password, it is no longer displayed
in a separate window for approval. If you want to generate another password,
just click on Generate again. If you want to revert to the existing password
when editing an entry, just click on Cancel.
[1841221] During drag & drop, a 1.5 scond delay was introduced before
expanding a group that the cursor "hovers" upon.
[] New disabled buttons for New Toolbar.

New Features for 3.12

[1842449, 1000639] Implement standard F3 for repeat Find shortcut.
[1838738] Implement minimum lengths of types of characters in the password
policy i.e. 3 uppercase + 2 lowercase + 1 digit etc.  Feature
is incompatible with 'pronounceable' or 'easy-to-read' passwords.
[] Implement individual password policy for entries that will override the
current database policy.  User can still override the individual policy or
the database policy.
[] An entry may have multiple references, or "shortcuts" to it, similar to
Windows' shortcuts. These may be thought of as "synonyms" of the entry. To
create a shortcut, drag an entry with the right mouse button pressed.
[] Graphics added to menus.
[] New password generation option: Pronounceable passwords. Thanks to Tom
Van Vleck, Morrie Gasser, and Dan Edwards.
[1676241, 1511829, 1436850, 1426250, 1078998, 996240, 771845] Allow user to
select a font for Passwords, so that similar characters can be
distinguished e.g. 0 & O, 1, I & l.
