[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe format 0x0302 description

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

Hi,

Please find in
http://passwordsafe.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/passwordsafe/trunk/pwsafe/pws
afe/docs/formatV3.txt?revision=1551&view=markup

A new version of the file format description, based on discussions on this
list.

Main changes:

- Introduction rewritten.
- Clarification regarding field order (only constraint is that last field is
of type END).
- Clarification regarding Text representation (UTF-8 unless explicitly
stated otherwise).
- Note regarding misrepresentation of header timestamp as an 8 byte ASCII
string.
- Deprecation of header field "Who performed last save" (0x05), replaced by
"last saved by user" and "last saved on host" (0x07, 0x08).
- Addition of database name and database description header fields
- Added a section on extensibility, (a) recommended handling of unknown
fields, (b) defining application-specific range of type identifiers,
guaranteed to be unassigned by the "official" format description.

I believe I've addressed all the issues that have been discussed on this
list regarding the format. Please let me know if you find any error, or if
you see any major difficulty in implementing the format as specified.

	Cheers,

		Rony
