New Features for 3.24
=====================
[3111585] User can now duplicate Groups. Aliases and shortcuts referring to
base entries outside this group will still point to their respective bases.
Those referring to base entries within the group will then point to the new
copy.
[3065107] Confirm Delete dialog for an entry now shows the entry's details.
[3062854] Advanced Dialog Options settings are saved for a session to allow
re-use. The following functions use the this dialog and their settings are
saved separately: Merge, Compare, Export to Text, Export to XML, Synchronize
and Find Toolbar.
[3062809] Add "Add Group" to Toolbar.
[3062788] Add "Add New Entry" menu item to additional context menus.
[] Online help is now available in Spanish, thanks to Jose.

Bugs fixed in 3.24

value of the number of last used entries remembered in System Tray menu.

works.

[3065827] Uninstall fails gracefully when invoked with pwsafe running.

enabling the application to be opened again.

from previously opened database.
