[Passwordsafe-users] Announcing PasswordSafe 2.09

[Rony S. <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

PasswordSafe 2.09 is available for download. This release provides a
re-implementation of the locking mechanism which addresses many of the
problems that arose with the previous version.

Bugs fixed in 2.09:
===================
[1107971] Edit via double-click no longer crashes the application.
[1103501,1119212,1138635] Refined file lock mechanism.

New Features for 2.09:
======================
When saving a database, the previous version, if one exists, will be renamed
with the ".dat~" suffix. This provides some minimal automatic
backup.

The release may be downloaded from here:

Thanks to Frank (xformer) for helping out with the new locking mechanism.

respective packages. These were signed with my SourceForge account key,
keyid FA175557, key fingerprint = FF77 379D D46D DAA6 6182  B452 1D79 5A91

        Enjoy,

                Rony

p.s. I've left out a few minor improvements that I hoped to put in this
release in order to get it out the door quickly, as the locking feature was
causing quite a few problems. The next release should be a bit more
substantial in terms of minor bug fixes and new features.
