[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.16

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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.16.

The main new feature of this release is non-English support: Specifically,
German is now fully supported, and Polish, Spanish and Swedish are partially
supported. In addition, some annoying bugs have been fixed, and some
features have been added or improved upon.  
Thanks to Karlo  Van der Gucht for his work on non-English support, to DK
for his work on this release, and to all the folks who reported bugs and
tested prelimenary versions of this release.

Bugs fixed in 3.16
[2529736] Validate now corrects all Password History errors
[2509817] Control characters no longer sent via Autotype.
[2481370] Can now create shortcut by right-mouse down dragging.
[] Can now process filters (within the database or imported) based on
'username' field ("user" in the XML file).
[2423397] Sorting direction database preference was not being saved in the
database.  See "Changes to Existing Features" below.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.16
[Open Discussion] Ctrl+F no longer toggles the Find Toolbar but shows it if
not currently visible.
[2423397] Changes to preferences stored in the database are no longer
silently saved in the database (including any changes to any entries). A new
flag is shown in the Status Bar to indicate the preferences have been
changed and the user can decide to save these, or not, when closing the
database, directly or when ending the application.
[] Support interoperability with tools that access edit control text by
setting PWS_PW_MODE environment variable to "NORMAL".

New Features for 3.16
[2509821] Support Group (\g), Title (\i) and Notes (\o, \onnn) fields via
Autotype.
[] Installation program now offers German as well as English installation
instructions, as well as installing German language support. The framework
is easily extended to other languages.
[2450841] The user can use the DragBar to drag and drop the group name when
a group is selected. Pressing the Ctrl key while dragging the group, when a
group or entry is selected, will only copy the immediate parent group.
Standard behaviour is to copy all groups up to the root of the database with
dots between successive group names.
[2450827] Add a new menu item (on Edit Menu or right-click context menu) to
go to the corresponding base entry of an Alias or Shortcut. As part of this
change, only relevant items are shown on the Edit menu depending on the
current selected item (group or normal, shortcut base, alias base, alias or
shortcut entry).
[2425045] During Edit, if the entry has been changed and the user presses
the Cancel button, they are asked to confirm losing their changes.
[2415952] The currrent display status of the Find Toolbar is remembered at
application close and, if visible, it is will be shown the next time the
application is started.
