[Passwordsafe-devel] pwsafe-pre-release

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,
I'd like to release PasswordSafe 3.
​45
 in
​a couple of weeks
. As usual, I've setup a pre-elease for testing and translators in
​ ​https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/PreReleases/3.45pre/

The 'pos' directory in the above link has the texts to be translated in the
.po files.

Translators are invited to mail me the updated po files for inclusion in
the next
​ ​
release (or create pull requests on GitHub
<https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe>).

"pre-release" means that there may be more bugfixes until the formal
release, but no user-visible changes (texts in particular
​should​
 remain unchanged).

Thanks,

  Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.44.0 for Windows

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.44.0 for Windows.
This is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor issues, adding some small
features, as described below.
Thanks to dk, pm_kan, SauravG, Larry, MrMe for their help in this release.
Thanks also to all the users who have provided bug reports, suggestions,
and the occasional donation...

Bugs Fixed in 3.44.0
====================
[1438] Double backslash is now correctly parsed in Run Command.
[1432] Perform autotype of correct entry when the user changes the
selection made by a Find.
[1431] The protected entry padlock symbol is now used in all places
where a protected
entry is listed in any dialog.
[1430] If an expired or about to be expired entry is edited at database
open (requires warning preference to be enabled), the database will be
saved if the 'Save database immediately after any change' preference is
enabled. After the open is complete, these changes can be undone/redone if
required.
[1429] Tree and List views now retain focus when a shortcut entry is
created.
[1428] Remember Find toolbar state when restoring from minimized.
[1420] The virtual keyboard font size setting is now persistent.
[1398] Remember if PasswordSafe was maximized when exited.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.44.0
======================================
[] The option that allows you to change the color of the system tray
icon displayed
when Password Safe is initially started and when there's no open database has
been removed. The standard PasswordSafe brown icon will be used.
[] Use the Add/Edit font in preference to the Tree/List font outside the
actual Tree/List views (since the Tree/List fonts may be too large).

New Features for 3.44.0
=======================
[] When exporting a group or the results of a filter, if any additional
entries have been exported (e.g. base entries of aliases or shortcuts
already exported), they will be noted in the Export report.
[844] The default font for the password field is now 12pt Consolas.
[843] The default font for Tree/List views, Add/Edit fields and an entry's
Notes is now 10pt Segoe UI.
[842] A new symbol (paperclip - Unicode U+01F4CE) to indicate that an entry
has an attachment (V4 databases only) has been implemented but, if the
currently selected Tree/List font does not support it and the user is not
running Windows 10, then the old symbol ('+') will be used.
[841] Close/exit is now allowed via System Tray icon when the database is
open in read-only mode.
[839] The list of expired entries now shows protected entries in italics,
indicating that they must be unprotected before they can be updated.
[828] The main window can now be set to be partially transparent via
Manage->Options->Display.


The PasswordSafe2Go version will be updated soon and available from

[Passwordsafe-devel] Sad news

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

I am very sad to announce the untimely passing away of my friend and fellow
PasswordSafe developer, David Kelvin.

David has been with the project for 11 years, during which he has written
and supported many of the user-facing functionality.

Although he has formally left the project a few weeks ago, he recently sent
me a set of fixes and new features that will be in the forthcoming release.

David left behind his wife and two adult children. I will miss him.

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.43.0 for Windows

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.43.0 for Windows.
This is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor issues, and adding some
functionality as described below.
Thanks to dk, pm_kan, SauravG, Bjorne, Dave, Karlo, Larry, MrMe and others for
their help in this release.
Thanks also to all the users who have provided bug reports, suggestions,
and the occasional donation...

Bugs fixed in 3.43.0
====================
[1410] Don't forget '-r' flag when database not found, and needs to be
searched.
[1409] An entry is now correctly re-selected after editing if the
preference "Save database immediately after any change" is disabled.
[1403] Help has been updated to document that an entry's Notes field has a size
limit of 30,000 characters.
[1402] Group image is now correct after dragging an empty sub-group to the
next higher level.
[1400] The Toolbar now correctly disables buttons when a Group is selected.
[1401] After deleting an entry, the next visible entry (if present) is
selected.
If not present, then the previous entry (if present) will be selected.
[1399] A disabled image is now shown when no characters to copy are
available. This has also been implemented wherever the "Copy Password"
button is used outside the Toolbar.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.43.0
======================================
[809] Maximum configurable idle timeout increased to 10 hours.

New Features for 3.43.0
=======================
[] You can now specify additional command line parameters to the external
editor used to edit the Notes field from the Add/Edit Basic dialog.
[] It is now possible to export the currently filtered entries to a new
PasswordSafe database.
[832] If many databases are open at the same time, after opening a
database, the user can specify a database index (1-99) that will be
superimposed on the System Tray icon to aid identification. In addition,
the System Tray icon tooltip has been enhanced
to show more of the database name.
[833] Right-clicking on a base entry now allows you to select any one of
its dependants, i.e. alias or shortcut.
[834] We've added the option of displaying the safe combination when entering
during database creation, opening and change of combination.

[Passwordsafe-devel] UWP Branch

[Alberto R. <in...@po...>]

Hi Everyone,
My name is Alberto, I’m a Windows and UWP developer and I’ll give you some details about the new uwp0 branch in the Password Safe repository.
Since I’m a long time user of the Password Safe application, I really needed to access my password database on my Lumia 950. One day I grabbed the password safe source code and started to work on it.
Thanks to the multiplatform nature of the project, the model and the view are well separated, so if I could make the os and core libraries compile on the UWP platform, I only needed to make a new “shell".
Luckily, especially in C++, many standard libraries and Win32 APIs are still accessible in the Universal Windows Platform, there is also a Universal CRT but I’m not an expert C++/CX programmer.
Anyway, after a couple of months of work I was able to make a simple read-only app that has been published in the Windows Store https://www.microsoft.com/store/p/password-safe-beta/9nblggh52t2r

To make it work, I modified the os and core libraries and added a new project under src/ui/UWP. The major changes to the os and core libraries were in the file I/O. I excluded a lot of code initially but I’m gradually putting it back as I make sure it compiles and enable more features. The objective is to gradually minimize the changes to those libraries and work only on the UWP shell code so we can merge it easily with the master branch.
At the moment I’m working to enable the editing features and add more code from the original codebase that has been excluded. When I’m done with it, much of the effort will be towards the quality of the code and the merge with the master branch. Also there are many innovative features from the uwp platform that we can add to the project like Windows Hello integration, which we can use to access the password safe db through fingerprint and/or iris recognition without entering our extremely long master password 😉

You can build and run the app on your local machine or deploy the appx package on another W10/W10M device by enabling developer mode. The app is not linked to any developer account, while the Password Safe Beta app in the Windows Store is linked to my developer account and I keep locally the changes needed to publish that app. Rony or someone else can open another developer account and take over for the publication of the app. The name Password Safe is not available in the Windows Store, but we should keep an eye on it because if after 1 year no app is published that name becomes available again.

I hope other UWP developers will join my effort, together we can move this great application to the next era. If you have any question about the UWP port you can contact me or Rony.

Cheers,
Alberto

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.42.1 for Windows

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

PasswordSafe 3.42.1 has been released. This version fixes a couple of
regressions that crept into 3.42 (see below). If you've upgraded to 3.42
and are not affected by them, there's no reason to upgrade.

Thanks to the users who've reported these issues, and to DK for help in
addressing them.

Bugs fixed in 3.42.1
====================
[1404] Regression: In read-only mode, Entry popup menu's View Entry item
restored (was mistakenly disabled).
If you don't use PasswordSafe in read-only mode or with prtoected entries,
this doesn't affect you.
[1266] Regression: Toolbar elements display correctly on high-resolution
monitors under Windows 8.1 and later now supported in 64-bit builds.
If you're using the 32 bit build and/or don't have a high-resolution
display, this doesn't affect you.

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.42 for Windows

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.42 for Windows.
This is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor issues, as described
below.
Thanks to dk, pm_kan, Bjorne, Dave, Francois, Karlo, Larry, MrMe and others
for their help in this release.
Thanks also to all the users who have provided bug reports, suggestions,
and the occasional donation...

A couple of changes are worth pointing out in particular:

1. For the first time, we're making 64 bit versions of program available in
Windows. If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you might prefer this
build (although the 32 bit version will still work just fine).
Thanks to Dave for making this happen.
2. I've updated the PGP signing key that is used to create digital
signatures of the uploaded files. The new key (7F2F1BB9) may be found here
<http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xB131423D7F2F1BB9>.

Bugs fixed in 3.42
==================
- Fix issue when locking database when not using the System Tray.
- Fix empty group validation on database open.
[G288] Changes to default password policy now persistent under V4 databases.
[1395] PasswordSafe now correctly duplicates a group containing both a base
entry and its dependent i.e. shortcut or alias.
[1393] Correctly handle opening a locked database, which is open in R/W by
another user.
[1392] If the command line parameter '-g' is used to specify a
configuration file by its relative path, PasswordSafe will now look for it
in the same directory as the executable unless overridden by the
PWS_PREFSDIR environment variable.
[1391] Fixed slow opening of a database if the default group display is
completely collapsed.
[1385] The filter active indicator now shows in Windows 7.
[1384] Toolbar images and text are now back in sync.
[1367] Fixed regression in command line arguments -h and -u support.
[1358] When PaswordSafe automatically locks to the TaskBar, the unlock
window now gets input focus when clicking on the icon to unlock the
database.
[1346] The Notes window scroll position in Add/Edit no longer jumps to last
selected line when it is reshown after being hidden.
[1275] The scroll positions of the Tree and List views are now saved on
minimize and used to set the window position when it is restored..

Changes to Existing Features in 3.42
====================================
- Previous commands, e.g. edit or delete an entry, are no longer cleared
when the database is locked to enable their undo after the database has
been unlocked.
- User selected font sizes are now saved in points in the configuration
file so that the same size of font is used across different user systems if
sharing the configuration file. This helps where the different systems have
different resolutions.
[819] A duplicated entry's creation time is set to the time of duplication.
All other times are copied from the original.
[816] Set installed version in uninstall section of Registry for Windows
version.

New Features for 3.42
=====================
- A new internal filter has been implemented to show only those entries
from last Find. Access via the View menu or Ctrl+K shortcut.
- PasswordSafe now supports the "long press" as the equivalent of a right
mouse click on Windows systems with touch screens running Windows 7 and
later.
[822] An open database can now be locked via the File menu or a Toolbar
button irrespective of whether the System Tray is used or not.
[821] A new symbol for protected entries (locked padlock) has been
implemented but, if the currently selected Tree/List font does not support
it and the user is not running Windows 10, then the old symbol ('#') will
be used.

The PasswordSafe2Go version will be updated soon and available from
http://www.shareit.com/product.html?cart=1&productid=300597408&stylefrom=300597408
(Owners of previous releases are invited to contact me for an update)

[Passwordsafe-devel] pwsafe 3.42 pre-release

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,
I'd like to release PasswordSafe 3.
​42
 in
​a couple of weeks
. As usual, I've setup a pre-elease for testing and translators in
​ ​https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/PreReleases/3.42pre/

The 'pos' directory in the above link has the texts to be translated in the
.po files.

Translators are invited to mail me the updated po files for inclusion in
the next
​ ​
release (or create pull requests on GitHub
<https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe>).

"pre-release" means that there may be more bugfixes until the formal
release, but no user-visible changes (texts in particular
​should​
 remain unchanged).

Thanks,

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.41 for Windows

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.41 for Windows.
This is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor issues, as described
below.
Thanks to  dk, sauravg, pm_kan, Larry, Bjorne and others for their help in
this release.

Special thanks to MrMe for both the quantity and quality of his bug reports.

Thanks also to all the users who have provided bug reports, suggestions,
and the occasional donation...


Bugs fixed in 3.41.0
====================
[] Fix crash if Find active when applying a filter, e.g., show entries with
expiry dates.
[] Ensure shortcut is updated in GUI after editing.
[] Text in the Find toolbar search edit control is now vertically centered
to reduce character truncation.
[] Clicking on a field's name copies the value to the clipboard when adding a
new entry (and not only when editing).
[] Update password history when Apply is clicked, not only when Edit window's
closed.
[] No longer show empty groups when the user filters for entries with
expired passwords.
[1378] Fix application crash if Add/Edit entry dialog open when the
database is locked e.g. via idle timer, workstation lock etc.
[1373] An invalid or non-existent backup directory path can no longer be
saved when exiting Options.
[1369] The virtual keyboard no longer becomes unusable after clicking on
the Randomize button.
[1368] The Status bar now shows the correct number of entries when a
database is unlocked.
[1367] Fixed regression in command line arguments -h and -u support.
[1366] Copying the unexpanded autotype string on Edit entry screen using
Ctrl+click on Autotype label now works.
[1365] Ctrl+F now switches focus back to Find toolbar if it is already open.
[1364] Unnecessary tree view refreshes fixed.
[1363] Empty groups no longer disappear when moving nested groups into them
and do not leave duplicated empty groups in the database.
[G192] Saved changes no longer prevent logoff or system shutdown.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.41.0
================================
[] You can no longer change an alias's base entry's password from the alias
entry. Instead, you should edit the base entry directly by selecting the
alias entry and using the Edit or right-click context menu to select its
base.
[] The "Show Find Toolbar" has been removed from the View menu as it
appears in the Edit menu. Ctrl+F still works as before to show the Find
toolbar or transfer focus to it if already visible.
[1371] The font used in the Find toolbar is now set to the user specified
Add/Edit font instead of the Tree/List view font.

New Features for 3.41.0
====================
[] New AutoType field '\#' toggles the use of the older mechanism to send
keyboard input to other applications e.g. browsers.
[] Add more Help to the Add/Edit Basic and Additional tabs.
[] Empty groups added but not yet saved are now included when the user
filters on unsaved changes.
[] Empty groups, whose names satisfy a filter that include tests on group
name values, are now included in the display when the filter is active.
[815] The database backup location now supports environmental variables
e.g. %homedrive% and %homepath%.  If used, the resulting path is shown.
[814] Clearing the recent database list now requires confirmation.
[813] When exporting a group to a new database, there is now an option to
also export all filters stored in the database to the new database.
[796] Autotype has been extended to support the previous password, if
present in the entry's password history, via the Autotype field '\q'. In
addition, for Windows,
a number of keyboard keys are supported by specifying the key between '\{'
and '}'. Please see Help for details.

[Passwordsafe-devel] pwsafe 3.41 pre-release

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,
I'd like to release PasswordSafe 3.
​41
 towards the end of the month. As usual, I've setup a pre-elease for
testing and translators in
​ ​https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/PreReleases/3.41pre/

The 'pos' directory in the above link has the texts to be translated in the
.po files.

Translators are invited to mail me the updated po files for inclusion in
the next
​ ​
release (or create pull requests on GitHub
<https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe>).

Testers should note the changes listed in the release notes, and are
welcome to focus their efforts there.

"pre-release" means that there may be more bugfixes until the formal
release, but no user-visible changes (texts in particular
​should​
 remain unchanged).

Note that this release has more than the usual number of changes to texts
that require translation. Hopefully the changes are for the better...

Thanks,

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.40 for Windows

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.40 for Windows.
This is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor issues, as described
below.

Thanks to dk, sauravg, pm_kan, Karlo, Bjorne, MrMe and others for their
help in this release.

Thanks also to all the users who have provided bug reports, suggestions,
and the occasional donation...

Bugs fixed in 3.40
==================
[] Correctly import empty groups from a XML file when an imported
group has been
specified.
[] Empty groups are now added when merging one PasswordSafe database into
another.
[] List view column widths are no longer reset when dragging columns to
different positions or columns are added or removed.
[] The user specified Notes font is now also applied to the Notes column in
the List view.
[] Entry Protected state and AutoType string is now correctly displayed in
the List view.
[] After entry has been edited from List View, it now remains visible
after Edit/Undo/Redo
even if the change alters its position within the view.
[1360] When an entry/group using a Named Password Policy is exported
to a PasswordSafe
database, the referenced policy is now also exported.
[1355] Fixed tabbing order in Basic AddEdit tab.
[1352] Fixed regression in recent entry processing.
[1347] Prevent a user from trying to copy a filter to a read-only database.
[1346] The Notes window no longer scrolls when re-activated after losing
focus.
[1345] Removed the ability to create a new database when read-only is
checked.
[1342, 1343] Fix multiple empty group issues.
[1335] If "Minimize after Autotype" option is set, it will also be honoured
for the user action: "Browse to URL + Autotype".
[1315] Keep selected entry selected after refreshing the view (F5).
[1314] Selected entries keep highlight when the Find toolbar is opened and
even when Password Safe loses focus to another application.
[1313, 1318] Find toolbar no longer closes when it shouldn't. In
addition, results
are updated when entries are added/deleted.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.40
====================================
[] Save Immediately has been enhanced to apply to all changes to the
database and not just after an edit or addition of an entry. It is STRONGLY
recommended that, if enabled, then the option to "Create intermediate
backups" is also enabled. Note, changes made via the Compare database
results dialog will not cause a database save for each action but will
after the compare results dialog has been closed.
[] The last sort direction in List View (ascending or descending) on
closing a database is now stored in the application configuration file and
is no longer stored in the database header.
[] The number of groups shown in the database properties dialog is now
counted in the same manner as directories/folders in a file system,
e.g., Windows
Explorer. This includes empty groups. The number of empty groups is also
shown.

New Features for 3.40
=====================
[] Empty sub-groups are included when exporting a group to a new
PasswordSafe database.
[] Adding an empty group will also cause the database to be saved if the
user has selected the option "Save database immediately after any change".
[811] The user's selected Notes font is now used for Tooltips in the Tree
and List views if the Display preference 'Show Notes as Tooltips in Tree &
List views' is
set.
[810] Allow font selection for all the user input fields in the Add/Edit
entry and the Create Shortcut dialogs.

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe CMake support

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Why Cmake?

- Cmake provides a portable way of configuring the build environment
  for passwordsafe.
- Source tree is untouched, all build-related files are in specified
  "build" subdirectory (by convention under the main project
  directory, "build" on unix/mac, "_build" on
  Windows. passwordsafe.sln/Makefile is created under build directory.
  (I'm using this to keep _build-mfc and _build-wx off the same source tree).
- Supports all visual studio versions, saving the need to update
  manually when adding/removing files.


Step-by-step for getting started with Cmake using Visual Studio 2015.

1. After installing cmake, create a _build directory under pwsafe's
toplevel directory.
2. Start cmake-gui. Set "Where is the source code" to the top of the
git repository source tree, and "Where to build the binaries" to the
_build directory you created in the previous step.
3. Click on Configure. Select the Visual Studio platform. Cmake will
think a bit and the report errors: "CMake Error at [...] (message):
  Could NOT find GTest (missing: GTEST_LIBRARY GTEST_INCLUDE_DIR
  GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARY)
To fix this, click on GTEST_ROOT and set it to the directory were gets
is installed on your machine.
4. Check the "Advanced" checkbox, and set the values of
XercesC_INCLUDE_DIR, XercesC_LIBRARY_DEBUG and XercesC_LIBRARY_RELEASE
to the correct values.
5. Click on Generate. This will create the passwordsafe.sln file in
_build.
6. Open passwordsafe.sln and right-click on the pwsafe project, select
"Set as StartUp Project".
7. You may need to go back and set paths to external libraries, such
as GTEST_LIBRARY, GTEST_LIBRARY_DEBUG, GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARY and
GTEST_MAIN_LIBRARY_DEBUG. Click on Cofigure and Generate after setting
these, and Visual Studio will prompt you to refresh the project
files.

For Linux, similarly, only to get started, do:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake-gui .. # configure stuff as needed
$ cmake ..
$ make

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.38 for Windows

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.38 for Windows. This
fixes a problem with displaying PasswordSafe under Windows 8 and later on
high resolution displays. In addition, this has some significant "under the
hood" restructuring to support the next version of the PasswordSafe format.
See below for more details.

Thanks to Bill, Bjorne, dk, Jorge, Kevin, Nicholas, pm_kan, sauravg, Todd,
Vladimir and others for their help in this release.
Thanks also to all the users who have provided bug reports, suggestions,
and the occasional donation...


Bugs fixed in 3.38
==================
[1289] Uniform behavior for generated password: Can be explicitly
copied to clipboard whenever generated (no longer copied by default).
[1266] Toolbar elements display correctly on high-resolution monitors
under Windows 8.1 and later.

New Features for 3.38
=====================
Experimental support for V4 format. *DO NOT USE FOR PRODUCTION ("REAL")*
*PASSWORDS.*


The PasswordSafe2Go version will be updated soon and available from

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe 3.38 ready for translation and testing

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

PasswordSafe 3.38 has a couple of minor fixes, but, more importantly,
changes "under the hood" to support a new PasswordSafe format that can
handle attachments.
This new format is (not) the default, and requires "export to" in order to
create from an existing file. The main purpose of this release is to check
the stability of the underlying changes and gather feedback from those
willing to experiment.

The pre-release version can be downloaded from
https://pwsafe.org/tmp/3.38PRE/pwsafe-3.38PRE-bin.zip

And the po files for translations (few additions pertaining to the v4
features) may be found in
https://pwsafe.org/tmp/3.38PRE/pos/

I would like to formally release this version by the end of this year. A
few minutes spent on testing and/or updating the translations would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks and season's greetings!

Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] Towards PasswordSafe 4.0

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

As some of you may know, I've been working on a new format for PasswordSafe
to support attachments, multiple users and different encryption algorithms,
as well fixing some of the warts in the existing format. This, along with
some heavy refactoring of the 'core' library, has been going on in the
various v4 branches for a while.

I'd like to merge the v4 branch into master, making the next 'public'
release with the new core and "alpha" V4 file support, meaning that the
default database format will still be V3. (v4 databases can be created via
File->Export->V4...)

Other changes "beneath the hood" for the v4 branch:
- Unit testing using the gtest framework, for both Linux and Windows
- 'cmake' configuration and building under Linux (at this stage in addition
to the 'regular' make framework).

More details can be found in the developers' READMEs and the formatV4.txt
files.

My goal is to merge the v4/2015-12-04 branch into master towards the end of
December.

If you'd like to give this branch a test drive over the next couple of
weeks, that would be great! (Remember that the main repository is now on
github at https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe.git).

Known issues:
- cmake is currently unsupported on Windows. If anyone wants to help with
this, please drop me a note.
- I'm afraid I broke the CodeBlocks and CodeLite build of version.h from
version.in in order to support both cmake and the 'standard' make under
Linux.

Cheers,

  Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] Byte order determination

[Philipp T. <pt...@su...>]

When looking into build failures on architectures other than intel I
discovered that passwordsafe defines endianess based on the architecture.

I propose to simply include endian.h and check what glibc/gcc have set
__BYTE_ORDER to. With this change passwordsafe builds and works on all
platforms openSUSE supports, i.e. aarm64, ppc64le, s390x and ppc/ppc64.

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.37.1 for Windows

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

PasswordSafe version version 3.37.1 has been released. This fixes a
regression found in 3.37, affecting the "wide" version of add and edit
entry windows (these are displayed when the user's screen is relatively
short). Thanks to Nicholas for reporting this, and to dk for rapidly
finding and fixing the root cause.

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe 0.97 beta Linux packages released

[pwsafe.org <ro...@pw...>]

Hi,

Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu 32 and 64 bit packages have been released, and
may be downloaded from
https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe/releases/tag/0.97BETA
and from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/Linux-BETA/0.97/

The main difference from the Windows release is the addition of the '-fPIC'
compilation flag, as contributed by bblough.
