[Passwordsafe-devel] Thoughts on PasswordSafe format version 4

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

Hi,

I've set up a page with thoughts on the above, and would be grateful for
any comments, suggestions, etc.: http://tinyurl.com/pwsv4draft

Tentative plan is to start working on this in a month or so, with a beta
release towards the end of the year.

Thanks,

  Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] Goodbye Subversion, hello Git

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

Hi,

As the title indicates, PasswordSafe's code repository has been converted
to (and adapted for) git.
Currently I'm leaving both repositories open, but note that I'll be
releasing official builds from git from now on. As of now, all commits to
the Subversion repository will be manually merged into git by me. In a few
days, assuming nothing major pops up, I'll change the status of the
Subversion repo to read-only, meaning that commits to the svn repo will be
rejected.

Links to the git repository can be found at
https://sourceforge.net/p/passwordsafe/git-code/ci/master/tree/. Note that
all Subversion tags and branches have been imported to git.

I've found Git to be a *lot* friendlier with regards to merges, and overall
more fun, once I've gotten over the learning curve. Let me know if you any
issues/suggestions/comments with the switch.

Cheers,

  Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] Fwd: July SourceForce Project of the Month Ballot

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

Hi,

You're receiving this message because you're subscribed to a PasswordSafe
related mailing list. If you're subscribed to more than one such list, you
may receive this more than once - if so, my apologies.

As you can see, PasswordSafe has been nominated as a candidate for July's
project-of-the-month on SourceForge.

If you can take a minute or two to vote for PasswordSafe, I'd be very
grateful. Even better - forwards this request to your friends as well.

What's in it for me, you ask? Well, being project of the month means more
exposure, which means more people will download it, install and run it, and
some of those will have suggestions that would help make the next version
even better. That, for me, at least, is what's best about free and Open
Source software - suggestions and contributions from users and developers
over the years have made PasswordSafe much more useful *for me* than I
could possibly have done by myself.

So please hop over to  http://twtpoll.com/xmrzlp and vote for your favorite
password manager :-) - see below for details.

Thanks!

  Rony

SourceForge.net website. This, in turn, will be linked to an interview
about your project which will remain on our site, and linked from your
project page, in perpetuity, in which you can talk about your project, your
community, and so on. Interviews can be conducted by email, or irc, as you
prefer, and depending on the timezones of various participants.

You'll also be listed on http://sourceforge.net/potm

Thanks so much for being part of the SourceForge community, and may be best
project win!

Hi,

As you can see, we're going to get a little free advertisement next week.
As a result, I'm planning to release 3.31 tomorrow, May 11th. Please make
an effort to finish any work in progress you may have by tonight, so that
it can be incorporated in 3.31 or the corresponding Linux version (0.91).

Dear SourceForge project admin,

Your project will be featured on the front page of SourceForge.net for the
week of May 13, 2013. Projects are chosen based on a variety of
considerations, such as recent releases, interesting blog activity, or
other related things.

Front page features tend to result in increased traffic to your project
page, so you may want to take this opportunity to make sure you have the
latest project description, screenshots, and project logo.

Also, since I know that several of you have more than one project, I've
listed all the featured projects below (in no particular order - the list
is random order on the front page), so that you'll know which one, and who
you'll be sharing the page with.

If you'd like to have a guest blog post this week, please submit something
to com...@so... for consideration. Content should be
community-centric, rather than promoting your company, and we reserve the
right to edit your submission as necessary.

Thanks for being part of the SourceForge community!

Thanks for catching this!

It seems that Microsoft released VisualStudio 2012 without XP support, and
added it in their first update, only to break it in the second! I've found
and applied a workaround for this. Please download the program again and
let me know if this indeed fixes the problem.

Cheers,

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe 3.31 pre-release for testing and translation

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

Hi,

I've uploaded a pre-release version of PasswordSafe 3.31, plus the .po
files with the new strings for translation.

Schedule: I'd like to release this version around the middle of May.

*Testers: *Are welcome to download either the installer program or a zip
file with the binaries from

http://pwsafe.org/tmp/3.31pre/pwsafe-3.31pre.exe

or

http://pwsafe.org/tmp/3.31pre/pwsafe-3.31pre-bin.zip

respectively.

*Translators: *The files may be found in the directory that DK set up,
which also includes tools and instructions for those interested in making
their own dlls for testing:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/Translation%20Tools%20for%20Windows%20%28MFC%29%20Version/

(http://tinyurl.com/6fgecno)

The new files are under the 3.31pre folder in the above.

I'd also like to release the corresponding Linux version at the same time.
Please contact me if you'd like to work on the translation for this, and

Thanks in advance for your help in making PasswordSafe!

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.30 (Windows) and 0.9Beta (Linux)

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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.30 for Windows, as
well as a new Beta release, 0.9, for Linux. This is a maintenance release,
fixing a few minor issues, as described below. Thanks to Matt, shivak7,
suthakar123, nsaipraveen, sauravg and pm_kan for their help in this release,
and to pm_kan, Karlo, Bjorne and mniklas for updating the Russian, German,
Swedish and Polish translations. Thanks also to all the users who have
provided bug reports, suggestions, and the occasional donation...

New Features for 3.30
=====================
[689] It's now possible to change the r/w state of a database when unlocking
it. Thanks to Jeff for the suggestion.

Bugs fixed in 3.30
==================
[3556730] In Add/Edit dialog, clicking Apply no longer disables the OK
button. An asterisk (*) is displayed in the title bar when the entry's
modified and Apply's not clicked upon. Thanks to shivak7 for the fix.
[3539347] An empty diamond icon is now updated to a full one when an entry
is dragged into it. Thanks to nsaipraveen for the fix.
[3537861] An off-by-one issue with expiration dates has been fixed by
suthakar123.
[1066] Default changed: 'Browse to URL' does not copy password to clipboard
by default. Although convenient, this is a security issue if the user isn't
expecting it. Also show correct screen in Security Options help.
[1065] Don't hide notes in Add/Edit dialog box when changing field focus if
user chose not to.
[1063] Intermediate backups also work correctly when relative path to
database is specified on command line. Thanks to Matt for tracking this
down.
[353] Easy-to-read option now respected in Generate Password screen.
[] Update ListView immediately when an entry's field has been changed.

The U3 and PasswordSafe2Go versions will be updated soon and available from
https://www.plimus.com/jsp/buynow.jsp?contractId=2031906
and
https://www.plimus.com/jsp/buynow.jsp?contractId=2880062

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe 3.30pre (and Linux 0.9Beta) ready for translation update

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

Hi,

I've uploaded a pre-release version of PasswordSafe 3.30, plus the .po
files with the new strings for translation.

This is a stabilization/bugfix release, no new user-visible features have
been added, so that the changes to the translations should be minor.

Schedule: I'd like to release this version towards the end of December.

The files may be found in the directory that DK set up, which also includes
tools and instructions for those interested in making their own dlls for
testing:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/Translation%20Tools%20for%20Windows%20%28MFC%29%20Version/

(http://tinyurl.com/6fgecno)

The new files are under the 3.30pre folder in the above.

I'd also like to release the corresponding Linux version at the same time.
Please contact me if you'd like to work on the translation for this, and
don't know where to find the .po files.

Thanks in advance for your help in making PasswordSafe accessible all over
the world!

Cheers,

 Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe repository change

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

Hi,

SourceForge has re-organized their site (again), and as part of this,
they've moved our project's Subversion repository.

The new URL for the repository is

svn+ssh://US...@sv.../p/passwordsafe/code/trunk/pwsafe/pwsafe

where 'USER' is your SourceForge username.

Unfortunately, this is a dump/restore of the old repository, so that a
'relocate' of your working copy won't work. You need to checkout this repo
from scratch.

Please make sure to switch to the new repository before committing. The old
repository still works, but I won't be building from it any more.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Cheers,

   Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] Repository migration error

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

Hi,

Seems like SourceForge managed to botch the svn repository migration while
upgrading the project to their new site.

The 'code' link from the website (
https://sourceforge.net/p/passwordsafe/code/) indicates an empty svn
repository, but if you try to checkout the repo via
'svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/passwordsafe/code/trunkpasswordsafe-code',
you'll get something even worse - a very outdated copy
of the repository.

There's also a link to a Git repository that is only slightly less out of
date - this is an attempt of mine to check out git, and is not the
'official' PasswordSafe repository.

For the meanwhile, the current repository should be used:
https://passwordsafe.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/passwordsafe/trunk/pwsafe/pwsafe
.

Hopefully SourceForge will straighten this out soon.

Thanks,

Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe 0.8Beta release for Debian and Ubuntu

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

Hi,

It's been a while but packages for the above have finally been built and

Thanks to sauravg, mniklas and pm_kan for their help on this version.

This release fixes quite a bit of the issues reported for 0.7, as well as
implementing some of the newer features of the Windows version, notable
named password policies.

No need.

I drilled down in the source all the way to CItemField::Get() in
src/core/ItemField.cpp and decided I HAD to be wrong.

Turns out the real issue is that my (the RHEL5) version of "xdg-open" does
not handle URLs ending in .asp correctly...

 rader    27015  2.0  0.7 107264 22532 ?        S    15:40   0:00 pwsafe
 rader    27042  0.1  0.0   4488  1204 ?        S    15:40   0:00  \_ /bin/bash /usr/bin/xdg-open https://ghcscw.com/index.asp
 rader    27084  0.4  0.1  13260  5224 ?        S    15:40   0:00      \_ nedit https://ghcscw.com/index.asp

xdg-open calls "mimeopen" which is configured to think .asp is text/plain.  Grr.

Sorry for the noise.

Looks like one could fix this problem by futzing around in /usr/share/mime
and running update-mime-database.  I, on the other hand, am simply going to
no put .asp URLs in pwsafe.

Thanks to everyone keeping pwsafe going--it's good stuff.

[Passwordsafe-devel] Browse to URL broken w/ 3.29 on Linux (was Re: Announcing PasswordSafe 3.29)

[<ra...@he...>]

Hi,

I just upgraded from 3.24 (plus my enhancements) to 3.29 on RH5 (built
from source.)

It was nice to see that my enhancements (UsePrimarySelectionForClipboard
and enabling the "Go" button) have been included and are working.  Thanks!

But I see one big issue: The URL when doing "Browse to URL" or using
the "Go" button is wrong.  Specifically, the current directory is
prepended to the entry's URL.  So for example, for SomeShop.com I
get "/home/rader/https://someshop.com/login.asp" instead of just
"https://someshop.com/login.asp"

Is this a fixed issue, a known issue, or should I investigate/fix??
