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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.20. This release
has a couple of nice new features, as described below, some bug fixes, as
well as support for French (full), German (full), Swedish (full), Russian
(full), Chinese (partial), Polish (partial), and Spanish (partial). If
you're interested in supporting your language, please let me know. Thanks to
Karlo, Bjorn, pm_kan and Francois for their translation efforts and feedback
on this release. Many thanks to DK for his work and patience, and of course
thanks to all the users who provide feedback, bug reports, suggestions and
the occasional donation...

New Features for 3.20
=====================
[2895167] Dragbar tooltips changed to provide relevant information for each
image and reduce the amount of text.
[2881604] Allow edit of base entry of a shortcut via the Edit menu and/or by
right-clicking on a shortcut entry.
[2872273] Improve Import Text 'Line skipped' message.
[2826509] Can now update passwords of existing entries via Import Text or
XML:
  For Text import, the 'Group/Title', 'Username' and 'Password' fields   are
required. 
  For XML import, the Title and Password elements are required. If the Group
and Username elements are missing, they are assumed to be  empty.  All other
fields or elements can be present but will be ignored.
[] Add highlighting of added/changed and deleted records.  The latter can
seen via View->Show Changed Entries.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.20
====================================
[2880663] 'Browse to' special fields (currently: [alt], {alt}, [ssh],
[autotype] and [xa]) are removed from the URL field when copied to the
clipboard or when used in the RunCommand (via $url).  If the '[alt]' or
{alt} were present, then the RunCommand will execute this program.
[2868278] The SystemTray Unlock menu item now only unlocks the database
(when correct passphrase is provided). To show the application's main
window, use the Restore menu item.
[2874520] To prevent junk showing in the Notes field in List View due to end
of line characters, now only show the first line but indicate more are there
using [>>>] at end of line. Setting preference "Show Notes as Tooltips in
Tree & List View" will show these (up to 250 characters).

Bugs fixed in 3.20
==================
[2906249] User changes to List view's column order are now persistent.
[2905961] ESC key now works correctly in View Entry when in RO mode.
[2873106] Export XML warnings now consistent with Export Text's.
[2872829] Duplicating an entry now copies the password policy as well.
[2872602] Preferences are now correctly deleted from the Windows registry if
they match the default (when registry is enabled).
[2870059] When an entry is highlighted during Find, the Toolbar and menu
items now reflect its contents.
[2868278] Minimize via the system menu, SystemTray menu and system control
box button now locks the database if the preference 'Lock on Minimize' is
set.
[2868244] Change font dialogs now work again.
[] Import from a text file with non-Latin text now works correctly.
[] No longer complains about WTS service in pre-XP versions of Windows.
[] Filters containing tests on the entry type are now correctly exported to
XML.
[] Validate of Password History (-v command line flag) now removes history
fields with invalid dates or empty old password fields.
[] Fix match test 'does not begin with' - used in filters and restricting
entries exported to Text or XML.
[] Fixed icons display in List view.
