Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.20

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

Hi,

Due to an error in the release process, the wrong versions of non-English
support libraries were included in the 3.20 release.

The files have been updated and uploaded to SourceForge, replacing the
previous release.

You only need to download version 3.20 again if you're running PasswordSafe
under the following localized versions of Windows:
Chinese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish.
All other users are unaffected.

The updated sha1 checksums are:
a0170c56345f24910a0ac9d8b49c933911974eeb *pwsafe-3.20.exe
fcd399c957c31a0d005129eb0e5cd010db905460 *pwsafe-3.20.msi

My sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.20

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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.20. This release
has a couple of nice new features, as described below, some bug fixes, as
well as support for French (full), German (full), Swedish (full), Russian
(full), Chinese (partial), Polish (partial), and Spanish (partial). If
you're interested in supporting your language, please let me know. Thanks to
Karlo, Bjorn, pm_kan and Francois for their translation efforts and feedback
on this release. Many thanks to DK for his work and patience, and of course
thanks to all the users who provide feedback, bug reports, suggestions and
the occasional donation...

New Features for 3.20
=====================
[2895167] Dragbar tooltips changed to provide relevant information for each
image and reduce the amount of text.
[2881604] Allow edit of base entry of a shortcut via the Edit menu and/or by
right-clicking on a shortcut entry.
[2872273] Improve Import Text 'Line skipped' message.
[2826509] Can now update passwords of existing entries via Import Text or
XML:
  For Text import, the 'Group/Title', 'Username' and 'Password' fields   are
required. 
  For XML import, the Title and Password elements are required. If the Group
and Username elements are missing, they are assumed to be  empty.  All other
fields or elements can be present but will be ignored.
[] Add highlighting of added/changed and deleted records.  The latter can
seen via View->Show Changed Entries.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.20
====================================
[2880663] 'Browse to' special fields (currently: [alt], {alt}, [ssh],
[autotype] and [xa]) are removed from the URL field when copied to the
clipboard or when used in the RunCommand (via $url).  If the '[alt]' or
{alt} were present, then the RunCommand will execute this program.
[2868278] The SystemTray Unlock menu item now only unlocks the database
(when correct passphrase is provided). To show the application's main
window, use the Restore menu item.
[2874520] To prevent junk showing in the Notes field in List View due to end
of line characters, now only show the first line but indicate more are there
using [>>>] at end of line. Setting preference "Show Notes as Tooltips in
Tree & List View" will show these (up to 250 characters).

Bugs fixed in 3.20
==================
[2906249] User changes to List view's column order are now persistent.
[2905961] ESC key now works correctly in View Entry when in RO mode.
[2873106] Export XML warnings now consistent with Export Text's.
[2872829] Duplicating an entry now copies the password policy as well.
[2872602] Preferences are now correctly deleted from the Windows registry if
they match the default (when registry is enabled).
[2870059] When an entry is highlighted during Find, the Toolbar and menu
items now reflect its contents.
[2868278] Minimize via the system menu, SystemTray menu and system control
box button now locks the database if the preference 'Lock on Minimize' is
set.
[2868244] Change font dialogs now work again.
[] Import from a text file with non-Latin text now works correctly.
[] No longer complains about WTS service in pre-XP versions of Windows.
[] Filters containing tests on the entry type are now correctly exported to
XML.
[] Validate of Password History (-v command line flag) now removes history
fields with invalid dates or empty old password fields.
[] Fix match test 'does not begin with' - used in filters and restricting
entries exported to Text or XML.
[] Fixed icons display in List view.

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.19

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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.19. This release
has a couple of nice new features, as described below, some bug fixes, as
well as support for French (NEW!), German (full), Swedish (full), Russian
(partial), Chinese (partial), Polish (partial), and Spanish (partial). If
you're interested in supporting your language, please let me know. Thanks to
Karlo, Bjorn, pm_kan and Francois for their translation efforts and feedback
on this release! Many thanks to DK for his work and patience, and thanks to
Vasily and gillum for their contributions to this release.

New Features for 3.19
================
[2832983] The Edit/View dialog now shows the details of the entry being
edited/viewed in its title caption (This is updated when saving the entry).
[2832810] A new email field has been added, supporting email headers 'to',
'subject', 'cc', 'bcc' and 'body' (per RFC 2368 - see online help for
details). If this field is not empty, it is used instead of the URL field
even if that contains an email address.
Note: whereas the URL field had to have the 'mailto:' prefix to denote an
email address rather than a URL, the email field must not contain this
prefix.
[] PasswordSafe now handles Vista (and later) logoff, shutdown & restart
more gracefully, giving the user now has more time to save a modified
database.
[] Add new AutoType special fields '\wnnn' and '\Wnnn'. Unlike '\d', which
sets the delay between sending each subsequent character, '\w' & '\W'
introduces a one-time delay where they appear.  For '\w', the value 'nnn' is
in milli-seconds. For '\W', this specifies seconds. Note: Max. value is 999s
(16m 39s), during which time PasswordSafe will be unresponsive while it
waits the specified time. Also supported via the Run Command $a command.
[] Add menu item to copy the Run Command to the clipboard.
[] Support Run Command and Double-Click Action (and email) fields in
Filters.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.19
===========================
[] Changing the Security option to lock Password Safe when the workstation
is locked, no longer requires a restart of Password Safe to come into
effect.
[] Due to the French keyboard not supporting the key '-' in an accelerator,
the shortcut for "Password Subset" has been changed from "Ctrl + -" to "Ctrl
+ B". Please do not allocate "Ctrl + -" to any shortcut if you will be using
a French keyboard.
[] If a dialog is open (e.g. Add, Edit, Options etc.) and Password Safe is
minimized, the Close and Exit options are no longer in the System Tray
context menu. The user must first Restore the application and close the
dialog before being able to close the database or exit the program.
[] If preferences stored in the database are changed, the user will be asked
if they want to save them in the database when closing the database or
application even if none of the entries have been changed.
[] The preference to Lock the Database after a certain amount of idle time
has changed from being a global parameter affecting all databases opened by
the user to be specific to each database.

Bugs fixed in 3.19
=============
[2865116] Status-Bar message now correctly states "Password Copied" when
doing a "Run Command".
[2865116] Status-Bar message now updated when using the keyboard arrows to
transverse entries in Tree and List views.
[2856750] The Password Policy now correctly displayed in List View, when
selected.
[2856051] Changes to database preferences are no longer lost upon minimize.
[2856410] The "Run Command" menu entry is no longer greyed out for Shortcuts
to base entries with a Run Command.
[2851848] Mouse double-click interval removed from Virtual Keyboard to allow
multiple virtual keys to be entered quickly.
[2850907] Password field no longer cleared after focus change.
[2842700] No longer crashes when using a French keyboard.
[2192490, 2840534] Multiple desktops now handled correctly for Windows XP
and later system.
[2836569] Correct password data now copied from Edit dialog using 'Smart
Labels'
[2832991] Double-click action display in the Status Bar now shows correct
value for entries that have overriden the current default.
[2820260] Fix password expiry interval processing during Edit.
[2818653] Password expiry interval now correctly exported to XML and
displayed during Edit, if present.
[2813295] 'Browse + Autotype' system tray menu items fixed - thanks to
Vasily for reporting and sending the patches for this.
[2085058] Old (1.x) format databases now closed correctly.
[] Fixed problem with viewing a shortcut in read-only mode - thanks to
gillum for reporting and helping track this down.
[] Fix crash when using External Editor on Notes field.
[] Password verification field not set when editing/viewing an alias entry
and the password is hidden.
[] Enter key works again in initial dialog if browse button used to select a
database. 
[] AutoType by an alias now has correct password and its own notes data
rather than '[Alias]' and its base's notes data, respectively.
[] Run command no longer truncates the first field if it is within double
quotes.
[] Duplicate entry now duplicates double-click action of original as well.
[] Double-click on a shortcut entry now executes the action of its base.
[] Drag & Drop of entries with explicit double-click action values between
different databases now works. 
[] Browse to URL from an Alias entry now puts the correct password in the
clipboard.
[] Text import no longer overwrites entry's RunCommand with double-click
action value.
[] Tidy up item order in Edit menu and right-click context menu.

Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] New Field "Email"

[David K. <c-...@us...>]

Wolfgang , Rony,
I have no problem with this new field, but as I replied to a recent Feature
Request "2832810 Email Address Field"  (I have copied that response below),
the previous misguided IMHO, but understandable due to the previous dialog
design, use of a single field for multiple purposes will cause some issues
in its implementation.

<quote>
Email is currently supported in the URL field by prefixing the data by
the keyword 'mailto:' but really only for sending emails as opposed to
opening a web page.

Whilst the recent redesign of Add/Edit would allow more space for
extra fields, we then have a problem of how to migrate any existing
email addresses in the URL field to a new email field. We could use the
fact that the existing email address have the 'mailto:' prefix - but we
would have to leave the data in the URL field in case the user opens the
database using a prior version. We could leave it to the user to move/copy
the data to the new field. We also have the problem that menu items that
recognise that the URL field contains an email address change their
nature accordingly - what would we do if the URL and the new email field
both have email addresses in them? Which one would we select to use?

I am afraid this is a consequence of not wishing to make the original dialog
to big and clumsy and so giving a field more than one function. As I said,
going forward, the redesign will hopefully remove this need but changing
existing multi-use fields present a problem.

Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] New Field "Email"

[Wolfgang K. <91...@gm...>]

Hi Rony

I am astounded by your experience ;) as for me the regular case when 
registering into a fancy forum is that at least 3 information data are 
required
a) user name (alias which you use as public name in the forum), b) 
password to logon and c) email address. (At some more serious fora point 
a) is still split up into "real name" and "forum nickname", just to be 
precise.) - Now a) and b) are normally required to logon into the forum 
while c) is information in the background. You still want to have c) at 
hand quickly e.g. in case you take separate communication contacts with 
the providers etc. and wish to keep some continuity in that communication.

So I'ld say the Email field makes much sense and I definitely couldn't 
work with the username field for it.

Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] New Field "Email"

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

Hi Wolfgang,

What I usually do in such cases is to use the 'user' field for storing the
relevant e-mail address, since most (all?) of the time that an e-mail is
required, this is also the required login id.

Do you think this would work for you, or is a separate 'e-mail' field type
still needed?

Cheers,

  Rony

Hello

After long time I am sitting over a new release of JPasswords. I am 
interested in a new data field named "Email". I noticed in my own 
practice that taking note of the email address given away is regular 
habit when registering into some new internet site. (People usually have 
several different addresses.) So I think a separate field with that 
information is useful and justified. - If you follow me in this and like 
to have this extra field within the official canon of the PWS file

update documentation. Otherwise I'll be using a "private" field.

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.18 - prerelease

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

Hi,

This is to announce the prerelease of version 3.18 of PasswordSafe.

The new features in this version are a bit more complex than the last few
releases, so we've decided to release it gradually, starting with the
members of this mailing list.

Here's a list of the new features:

[2793283] Allow entry to override doubleclick setting.
[2793280] Browse+Autotype added to configurable double click actions.
[] Implement Virtual Keyboards for multilingual passphrase entry.
[] DragBar now has ToolTips to inform user of its use.
[] User can close the currently open database via the System Tray menu.

In addition, we've replace the 'New' icon set with icons based on
famfamfam's silk set, and reworked the Add and Edit dialogs into Property
Pages, which should be a bit less confusing for the casual user.

Note that the help files and non-English support have NOT been fully updated
in this version.

Please let us know what you think of the new release, either via the forums
(https://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=41019) or by writing me directly
(https://sourceforge.net/sendmessage.php?touser=370700).

has a couple of nice new features, as described below, some bug fixes, as
well as support for German (full), Russian (full), Chinese (full), Polish
(partial), Spanish (partial) and Swedish (partial). If you're interested in
supporting your language, please let me know. Thanks to Karlo, Andrey,

to the clipboard. This is action is not performed if the Browse is invoked
from the Edit dialog box.

Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.17 BETA2

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

Hi,

This is to announce the second BETA release of version 3.17 of PasswordSafe
(the first release was announced only to the passwordsafe-users and
passwordsafe-devel mailing lists - apologies to folks who get this
announcement in duplicate). This release differs from the first beta in that
a few bugs have been fixed, and the Add and Edit dialog boxes have been
changed.

The new features in this version are a bit more complex than the last few
releases, so we've decided to release it gradually, depending on your
feedback. Also, we've prepared a short (6 question) user survey, and would
appreciate it if you could spend a couple of minutes and fill it out. The
survey is at:
http://p.sf.net/passwordsafe/3_17BetaSurvey

Here's a list of the new features:

[1533621, 1722481] There's a new, "Browse+" action that combines browsing to
an entry's URL and entering the username, password, etc. in a single
operation. Note that this is a new feature, and is known to have problems
with some sites and browsers.
[1405326] Add new field 'Run Command' to allow arbitrary commands, such as
terminal emulators, etc. to be executed via Ctrl+R or from the Edit menu. 
[] Allow users to set their own shortcut keys for menu items. Select via
Manage->Options->Shortcuts.
[1954166] New preference to word wrap the Notes field in Add & Edit. Also,
ability to override this and showing the notes by right-click context menu.
[] Implement "Find Up" via clicking Find toolbar button with Shift key down
or pressing 'Shift+F3' for repeat find up.

In addition, the Chinese, Russian and German translations of PasswordSafe
have been updated and bundled with the distribution.

The release may be downloaded from

http://pwsafe.org/tmp/pwsafe-3.17-beta2-bin.zip (zip file with executable

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.16

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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.16.

The main new feature of this release is non-English support: Specifically,
German is now fully supported, and Polish, Spanish and Swedish are partially
supported. In addition, some annoying bugs have been fixed, and some
features have been added or improved upon.  
Thanks to Karlo  Van der Gucht for his work on non-English support, to DK
for his work on this release, and to all the folks who reported bugs and
tested prelimenary versions of this release.

Bugs fixed in 3.16
[2529736] Validate now corrects all Password History errors
[2509817] Control characters no longer sent via Autotype.
[2481370] Can now create shortcut by right-mouse down dragging.
[] Can now process filters (within the database or imported) based on
'username' field ("user" in the XML file).
[2423397] Sorting direction database preference was not being saved in the
database.  See "Changes to Existing Features" below.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.16
[Open Discussion] Ctrl+F no longer toggles the Find Toolbar but shows it if
not currently visible.
[2423397] Changes to preferences stored in the database are no longer
silently saved in the database (including any changes to any entries). A new
flag is shown in the Status Bar to indicate the preferences have been
changed and the user can decide to save these, or not, when closing the
database, directly or when ending the application.
[] Support interoperability with tools that access edit control text by
setting PWS_PW_MODE environment variable to "NORMAL".

New Features for 3.16
[2509821] Support Group (\g), Title (\i) and Notes (\o, \onnn) fields via
Autotype.
[] Installation program now offers German as well as English installation
instructions, as well as installing German language support. The framework
is easily extended to other languages.
[2450841] The user can use the DragBar to drag and drop the group name when
a group is selected. Pressing the Ctrl key while dragging the group, when a
group or entry is selected, will only copy the immediate parent group.
Standard behaviour is to copy all groups up to the root of the database with
dots between successive group names.
[2450827] Add a new menu item (on Edit Menu or right-click context menu) to
go to the corresponding base entry of an Alias or Shortcut. As part of this
change, only relevant items are shown on the Edit menu depending on the
current selected item (group or normal, shortcut base, alias base, alias or
shortcut entry).
[2425045] During Edit, if the entry has been changed and the user presses
the Cancel button, they are asked to confirm losing their changes.
[2415952] The currrent display status of the Find Toolbar is remembered at
application close and, if visible, it is will be shown the next time the
application is started.

The U3 version will be available soon from

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe support on Windows 98?

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

Hi,

[You're receiving this message from the PasswordSafe users or developers list, to which you're subscribed. To unsubscribe, follow the link at the end of this post]

Until now, PasswordSafe has supported Windows 98. Given that this requires some effort on our part, we're considering dropping support for Windows 98 on newer version of PasswordSafe, so that we can focus our efforts on other improvements. However, if enough people are still using this, we'll continue supporting it.

Please take a minute to let us know which OS you're using:

The survey is totally anonymous.

	Thanks,

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.15

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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.15.

This is a minor release - some annoying bugs have been fixed, some features
have been added or improved upon.  
Thanks to DK for his work on this release, and to all the folks who reported
bugs and tested the Beta version of this release.

In addition to this release, we're releasing a new package of PasswordSafe
that supports the YubiKey authentication token
(http://yubico.com/products/yubikey/). See the end of this annoucement for
more details.

Bugs fixed in 3.15
[2407346] "Open Another" and "Create New" actions in "Incorrect Passkey"
dialog box working again.
[2407325] Prevent creation of a group name with '.', which confuses
PasswordSafe.
[2407072] Can now tab to read-only checkbox in password entry form via
File->Open or recently used list.
[2269930] Track write permission of file in opening dialog: If the user
chooses a file with different permission than the original, then the r-o
status is updated accordingly.
[2142691] Better support for Japanese text.
[2113261] No longer crashes when opening write-protected database.
[2102624] Can now change a normal entry into an alias or an alias' base
entry into an alias of another entry taking its aliases with it.
[2101656] Incorrect Notes field behaviour when using scroll bars corrected.
[2100916] Correct colouring of the Dragbar icons after changing selected
entry.
[2100429] Handle invalid time field in database gracefully. Thanks to David
B. Martin for his help in tracking this down.
[2096504] All user set fields are now checked when merging databases.
[2096164] -h, -u and -g command line functionality restored.
[2088540] Showing Dragbar is now independent of displaying the Toolbar.
[2085103] New database can no longer be created as R/O.
[2085089] Database field in "Safe combination Entry" dialog no longer loses
focus to passphrase field after each character change.
[] Correct display of tree items on restore from minimize when 'X' button
used to minimize.
[] Ensure XML Import correctly processes normal entries with a password
field that is in alias or shortcut form.

New Features for 3.15
[] Implement the CF_CLIPBOARD_VIEWER_IGNORE feature supported by some
Clipboard Viewers.
[] Add feature to display a subset of the password. This is useful for
websites that need different particular characters from a password at each
login. To access this, select an item, right-click and choose Display Subset
of Password.
[2203438] Remove "[alt]", "[ssh]" and "{alt}" special keywords from URL when
copying to the clipboard.
[2144489] Click on the text next to edit fields to copy the field to the
clipboard. Ctrl+Click on the URL will launch the browser. Text will flash to
show what it has done (green - copy, pink - launch).

The U3 version will be available soon from
http://software.u3.com/Product_Details.aspx?productId=294&Selection=7
(Owners of previous releases of the U3 version are invited to contact me for

YubiKey Authentication Support:
YubiKey (http://yubico.com/products/yubikey/) is a USB authentication device
that sends a different authentication key each time it's activated. This
provides a convenient alternative to constantly typing in a passphrase for
heavy users of PasswordSafe. To use, just "associate" your YubiKey with your
PasswordSafe datasbase, using the new Manage->YubiKey dialog. For more
details, please refer to the online help. 
Currently, support for this device is implemented in a separate PasswordSafe
package, 3.15Y. Your feedback will determine if and how this will be merged
into the main product.
The YubiKey version may be downloaded from:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=41019&package_id=3027

[Passwordsafe-devel] Call for testers - two pre-release versions of PasswordSafe

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

Hi,

We've been working on a couple of versions of PasswordSafe, and as the
changes "under the hood" have been substantial, I'd be happy if any users
and/or developers would give these a spin before I formally release them,
hopefully in  acouple of weeks:

1. Version 3.15Beta: This release has many changes to support compilation on
other platforms, most notably Linux/Unix. While I've tested it quite a bit,
the more people who can try it out under different version of Windows, the
better the chance of catching any bugs I may have inadvertantly introduced
in the process. Other than the above change, several bug have been fixed,
and a couple of new features added, the most notable being support for sites
that require you to type a subset of your password (e.g., the first, fourth,
seventh and ninth character). See the release notes for more details.
This version may be dowloaded from:
http://passwordsafe.sf.net/tmp/3.15Beta/pwsafe-3.15Beta-bin.zip
or
http://passwordsafe.sf.net/tmp/3.15Beta/pwsafe-3.15Beta.exe
(add .sig to the above to download the gpg signature files)

2. Version 3.14.3Y: This version supports authentication via the YubiKey
authentication token (http://yubico.com/products/yubikey/). Specifically,
you can use a YubiKey token to unlock a pwsafe database (you still need to
input your master passphrase to open the database, but after that you can
optionally use the YubiKey to unlock a minimized database instead of
entering your Passphrase). Other than that, it's fully compatible with the
other versions. To learn more about this feature, look up "YubiKey" in the
online help.
This version may be downloaded from:
http://passwordsafe.sf.net/tmp/3.14.3Y/pwsafe-3.14.3Y-bin.zip
or
http://passwordsafe.sf.net/tmp/3.14.3Y/pwsafe-3.14.3Y.exe
(add .sig to the above to download the gpg signature files)


Thanks,

  Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe development plans

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

Hi,

As sryll suggested in a recent post (*) here's a short update on the status of PasswordSafe:

1. The Java branch has been split off into a separate project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/jpwsafe), jointly administered by roxon and me. Folks with an interest in a Java clone of PasswordSafe are welcome to join the project.

2. Linux: After quite a bit of effort, the 'core' library of PasswordSafe, which implements the main functionality of reading and writing pwsafe files, adding, modifying and removing entries, etc., now compiles and runs under Linux. The executable is currently a rudimentary command line program, just enough to prove 'liveliness'. DK (a.k.a. as c-273) is working on porting the XML functionality, and I've begun looking at a GUI framework to base a full-blown Linux application upon - probably WxWidgets, unless someone has strong reasons why not.

3. Next release: I'd like to get 3.15 out sometime around December - If anyone has a specific bug they'd like squashed by then, now's the time to point me to it, or, better yet, send in a patch... Also, suggestions for features in the following release welcome.

Cheers,

   Rony

[Passwordsafe-devel] PasswordSafe Java code migrated to new project: jpwsafe

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

Hi,

The Java version of PasswordSafe has been moved to a SourceForge project of its own:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jpwsafe
The project's administrators are roxon and myself.

This should make it a bit easier to maintain both the C++ and Java code bases. Please drop me a note if you'd like to join the jpwsafe project.

Cheers,

  Rony

Dear Password Safe developers,

I'd just like to sincerely thank you all for your hard work
in making a brilliant product.  Each release you seem to

Please keep up all the good work!

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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.14.

This is a minor release - some annoying bugs have been fixed, some features
have been added or improved upon.  
Thanks to DK, Norman and Garrett for their work on this release, and to all
the folks who reported bugs and tested the pre-release versions.

Bugs fixed in 3.14

database.
[1966718] Text in 'Notes" now has horizontal scroll bar during Add.
[1959193] PWS now honors the read-only command line parameter (-r) for first
file open. Afterwards, the behavior is determined by the R/O open preference

Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] Submitting Code

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

Hi Garrett,

Well, I guess the thundering silence can be interpreted as approval :-)

You can send me a patch implementing this feature, or I can add you as a
developer to the project, and you can commit it yourself. What do you
prefer?

Cheers,

	Rony

Subject: [Passwordsafe-devel] Submitting Code

Hello, everyone. I'm new to this list and would like to learn the 
preferred method for submitting my code suggestions. I've added a 
feature which allows the user to auto-minimize after a password is 
copied to the clipboard. To avoid dialog and GUI changes, I created a 
DoubleClickAction with a caption of "Copy Pass & Minimize" in the menu.

I don't consider myself an expert Windows programmer, but I understand 
enough to accomplish goals. I'd like my submission to be critiqued by 
the more seasoned developers on this list and considered for inclusion 
in a future release.

Thanks all,
Garrett Ellis

[Passwordsafe-devel] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.13

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

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.13.

This is a minor release - some annoying bugs have been fixed, some minor
features have been added or improved upon.  
Thanks to DK his work on this release, and to all the folks who reported
bugs and tested the pre-release versions.

Bugs fixed in 3.13

[1941360] Rename with F2 now enables Save button.
[1940311] Password Policy now ignores length requirements if not applicable.
[1938057] Non-Latin text now correctly exported to plain text file.
[1926678, 1937293,1939294] Reduce GDI object leaks that cause display
problems during hibernation, screen locking and remote access.
[1914433] It is now possible to view the password policy set for an
individual entry, by shift-clicking on the checked Override Policy checkbox.
A tooltip explaining this is shown when relevant.
[1904391] Many functions, e.g.,  cancelling a rename of an entry,
inter-instance Drag & Drop, no longer collapse the entire tree.
[1904254] Non-text fields (e.g., time) are not shown in Advanced Search, as
they are not searched.
[1900655] Compare advanced subset now applies to current and comparison
databases.
[1899876] Fixed title/user problem when opening v1.7 databases.
[1598836] Correct treeview now displayed after restore from timeout lock.
[1478022] Correct description of this fix in the Release Notes to avoid user
confusion thinking it does something different.
[] Ensure first entry is selected when opening an existing database.
[] XML export of password history fixed for when number to be saved > 99.
[] Fix incorrect lock file handling during SaveAs.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.13

[] Improved compare database reporting.
[] Copying an empty field to the clipboard now emptied the clipboard
(previously, no action was performed).

New Features for 3.13

[1914644] Password expiry can now be set as an (optionally repeating)
interval. This is indicated in the List view by an asterisk after the expiry
date.
[1904254] Find now searches all text fields by default.
[1901380] Find result highlighted and selected.
[1901380] If the Esc key is not being used to minimize PasswordSafe, then it
will close the Find Toolbar.
[1901380] F3 (Repeat Find) works even if the Find Toolbar has been closed.
[1887159] PasswordSafe may be configured to open databases 'Read-only' by
default.  This can still be overriden during open if the file itself is not
read-only.
[1664535] Interpret "Remember 0 last databases" on the System Options as "do
not store any opened database".
[1399569, 912188] Separate the clear clipboard options on minimize and exit.
[1207606] Notes may optionally be shown as tooltips.
[988806] The Status Bar now provides Feedback on double click actions.
[] Alt+F4, in addition to Ctrl+Q, now closes the application.
[] Allow user to Hide/Show main toolbar.
[] Ability to create/view a report of the previous Find request.
