Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.17 BETA2

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

Hi,

This is to announce the second BETA release of version 3.17 of PasswordSafe
(the first release was announced only to the passwordsafe-users and
passwordsafe-devel mailing lists - apologies to folks who get this
announcement in duplicate). This release differs from the first beta in that
a few bugs have been fixed, and the Add and Edit dialog boxes have been
changed.

The new features in this version are a bit more complex than the last few
releases, so we've decided to release it gradually, depending on your
feedback. Also, we've prepared a short (6 question) user survey, and would
appreciate it if you could spend a couple of minutes and fill it out. The
survey is at:
http://p.sf.net/passwordsafe/3_17BetaSurvey

Here's a list of the new features:

[1533621, 1722481] There's a new, "Browse+" action that combines browsing to
an entry's URL and entering the username, password, etc. in a single
operation. Note that this is a new feature, and is known to have problems
with some sites and browsers.
[1405326] Add new field 'Run Command' to allow arbitrary commands, such as
terminal emulators, etc. to be executed via Ctrl+R or from the Edit menu. 
[] Allow users to set their own shortcut keys for menu items. Select via
Manage->Options->Shortcuts.
[1954166] New preference to word wrap the Notes field in Add & Edit. Also,
ability to override this and showing the notes by right-click context menu.
[] Implement "Find Up" via clicking Find toolbar button with Shift key down
or pressing 'Shift+F3' for repeat find up.

In addition, the Chinese, Russian and German translations of PasswordSafe
have been updated and bundled with the distribution.

The release may be downloaded from
