[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.21

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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.21. 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, freedoctor 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 3.21
=====================
[2940756] Add "Apply" button to Edit property pages so that intermediate
changes can be saved without closing the Edit property pages.
[2919319] PasswordSafe can now be used as a password generator via the
Manage menu.
[2616175] Allows user to retry finding the original database if not
successfully found the first time.
[] Undo/Redo of changes to the currently open database. Any change to the
database can now be undone and redone, as long as the database is open. This
is similar to the undo/redo feature available in most word processors, and
is activated the same way (Ctrl-Z for undo, Ctrl-Y for redo, or via the Edit
menu).
[] New Synchronize feature (subset of the current Merge function) to allow
changes in the fields of entries of two databases to be synchronised.
Entries with identical Group names, Titles and User names are compared when
syncing. The database selected to be synchronised with the current open
database is now always in read-only mode i.e. Synchronisation is
uni-directional and only entries in the currently open database can be
modified.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.21
====================================
[] When comparing databases, the "other" selected database is now always
opened in read-only mode.

Bugs fixed in 3.21
