Software Update: KeePass Password Safe 1.02

KeePass Password Safe has just been updated to version 1.02. This program is an open source password manager and can store accounts with associated data, such as username, password and URL, in an AES and Twofish encrypted database. The program can automatically generate passwords, import and export lists, advanced search and make use of plugins with which the functionality can be further expanded. The changelog of this release looks like this:

Here are all new features, bug fixes and changes:

• KeePass databases can now be imported into the currently opened database, you can choose if you want to create new IDs, overwrite existing entries or overwrite them only if they’re newer than the existing ones
• You can now export groups (including their subgroups) to encrypted KeePass database files (you can use the same key as the current database or define a new one)
• The auto-type function now supports sending higher ANSI characters in code range 126-255
• Fixed problems in the auto-type functions, no incorrect extended keys are sent any more (should solve the problems with auto-type on most notebooks)
• KeePass now appends an asterisk
• to the filename in the titlebar if the database has been modified
• New icons, KeePass now uses the ‘Nuvola’ icon theme by David Vignoni (the icons are distributed under the LGPL license with an addon, see CHM manual
• ‘Acknowledgments’ for more information)
• The entry view now supports very simple notes formatting using HTML tags; currently supported are: b, i and u
• Fixed some problems in the configuration manager class; the options-saving performance improvement (of 1.01) works now
• Fixed a bug which caused the KeePass window to lose the always-on-top status after auto-typing (alternative method)
• Fixed a bug that could crash KeePass after editing an entry when the database had 32*n entries and if the backup-entries option was enabled
• Minor improvements in the icon picker dialog
• The right Alt and Ctrl keys are released correctly now before auto-typing
• Shortened product name in tray-icon tooltip
• Fixed a small bug that could display an assertion warning in debug builds of KeePass when loading UTF-8 strings of length 122 from a database
• The quickfind edit control now correctly grabs the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-A and Ctrl-X key combinations
• Fixed a bug which occasionally caused the password generator to generate longer passwords than the specified length (no security problem though, the generated passwords are random)
• Fixed a bug that prevented top-level menu hotkeys (like Alt-F) from working immediately after program startup
• Some minor other improvements and fixes
