New Features for 3.23
=====================
[3022827] Implement 'stealth' mode where, as long as the user specifies both

and the button on the Taskbar can be hidden.

Password) before copying to the clipboard.
[3011546] "autotype" can now be added to the List View via the Column Picker
(right click on column labels).
