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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.17. This release
has a couple of nice new features, as described below, some bug fixes, as
well as support for German (full), Russian (full), Chinese (full), Polish
(partial), Spanish (partial) and Swedish (partial). If you're interested in
supporting your language, please let me know. Thanks to Karlo, Andrey,
Freedoctor and Bjorn for their translation efforts! Thanks to DK for his
work and patience, and thanks to the beta testers who've provided great
feedback on pre-release versions.

New Features for 3.17

[1954166] New preference to control word wrap in the Notes field in Add &
Edit. This can be overridden for a specific entry by right-clicking in the
Notes field.
[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 does not work (yet) for all browsers and all
sites.
[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.
[] Implement "Find Up" via clicking Find toolbar button with Shift key down
or pressing 'Shift+F3' for repeat find up.
[] Allow users to set their own shortcut keys for menu items. Select via
Manage->Options->Shortcuts.
