alpha 0.4 released

This is alpha 0.4 release of Passkeyper.

0.3 had an incredibly stupid and serious bug that actually prevented Passkeyper from functioning. Oddly, I received not a single report of this. Ah well...

0.4 also fixes a number of focus related issues, such that a sensible field/button will get focus by default under most cases.

alpha 0.3 Released

Ack! The file format used in 0.2 (java.util.Properties) turned out to be a really bad idea. Properties are not portable unless you can guarantee only alphanum characters. This version now uses XML (NanoXML/Lite), which is much more sane and portable.

The bad news is that every release so far is incompatible with the previous one! The good news is that XML should actually work well enough I can move forward with features+functionality+bugs.

alpha 0.2 Released

A second 'alpha' quality release is now available.

Like 0.1, this release is mostly to test the basic functionality of the project, and the GUI still has
alot of work to make it complete - although there have been some significant fixes that make it considerably more usable.

Also note that the file format is no longer compatible with 0.1. This was done because the new format is significantly more portable than the old version. If anyone really needs a converter from 0.1 to 0.2, request it as a feature here on Sourceforge and I'll write a quick-n-dirty conversion utility.

alpha 0.1 Released

A fairly 'alpha' quality release is available for download.

The focus of this release is to test basic functionality and encryption/decryption, especially to be sure the encrypted datastore does not get corrupted.

The GUI needs some serious tweaking - the layout is incomplete and some key events and such aren't really working right. These will be addressed in the next release.

Please submit bugs or feature requests as issues are found.
