[Passwordsafe-users] Announcing second BETA of PasswordSafe 3.0

[Rony S. <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the second beta release of PasswordSafe 3.0.

All of the major problems uncovered in the first beta have been addressed,
except a problem with win98SE and ME, which I cannot duplicate. Most
importantly, a security implementation flaw on non-XP platforms has been
resolved.

Bugs fixed in 3.0Beta2:
=======================
[1450484] Trialing garbage in tooltip text fixed (thanks to DK).
[1462527] Uses a decent PRNG for non-XP platforms, closing key recovery
attack vulnerability.
[1446183] Export to v2 format now readable by pwsafe v2.x
[1463103] Fields in Edit Dialog are wider.
[1450486] URLs without a protocol now default to http.
[1459326, 1427642] Fixed problems with password prompt (thanks to DK)

Known Problems:
===============
[1453108] Database problems with Win98SE and ME
[] Online help has not been updated 

NOTES:
======
1. This is still a BETA release! It should NOT be used as the only tool for
storing "real" password information.
2. This release will read databases saved by previous versions of
PasswordSafe. When saving a database, make sure that the new database will
have the "psafe3" suffix. This will guarantee that your old database is not
overwritten. If you do over-write it by mistake, you can export to old
formats from this version, with no loss of data.
3. The purpose of this release is to gather feedback on bugs, on the new
features, and on other features you wish to see  implemented. Please enter
feedback via the project's summary page:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=41019&atid=429579 for bug reports,
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=41019&atid=429582 for feature
requests.
