Hi, This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.05. Version 3.05 adds some nice new features, and fixes some minor bugs, as described below. Thanks to Karel Van der Gucht, Mateusz Dobrowolny and especially to DK for the work they've put into this release. New Features for 3.05 ===================== [1452303] Support multiple automatic backups [1504327, 1600626] Portable (e.g., USB stick) installation supported (configuration information stored in .cfg file instead of registry). [1452303, 1303548, 912724] Option to start Password Safe minimized at login [1600626] Ability to specify alternate browser for URLs - useful if Firefox is your default browser, but you need to access a site that only works with IE, for example. Changes to Existing Features in 3.05 ==================================== [838450] The undocumented backup to .psafe3~ has been replaced by the multiple automatic backup mechanism. Bugs fixed in 3.05 ================== [1578171] Hotkey works again if window just obscured [1521684,1504527] Old (V1) databases now read correctly.

Hi, It seems that some folks are having trouble running PasswordSafe 3.05. The reason is that we switched to a newer version of Microsoft's development environment, and apparently didn't set up the runtime redistributables correctly. Until we fix this, you can workaround this by downloading (for free) and installing Microsoft's latest runtime environment from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13- 9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en (http://preview.tinyurl.com/odssp) Sorry about the inconvenience.

Hi, PasswordSafe 3.05 was the first release built with a new development environment. As such, there were a couple of mistakes that were made that caused the installation to fail for some users. This re-release of PasswordSafe 3.05 fixes those mistakes, and a couple of other minor bugs that have crept in. No new functionality has been added. Specifically, the bugs fixed in this re-release are: [1606026] Missing manifest files added, application no longer requires vcredist_x86.exe [1606237, 1606232] View preferences now work correctly [1605389] Read-only flag now updated correctly Thanks to all the users who have reported the bugs in a constructive manner, and helped track down the causes rather quickly. HUGE thanks to DK, who has put in long hours searching for workarounds, fixes, and general moral support. In order to try to avoid repeating re-releasing, I'm going to change the release procedure a bit: Starting with the next release, I will pre-announce the release on the passwordsafe-users mailing list. Folks who are interested in testing the release are encouraged to do so. Once the release has been pre-tested, I'll make it into a "formal" release and announce it on passwordsafe-announce as well.
