Hi,
PasswordSafe 2.09 is available for download. This release provides a
re-implementation of the locking mechanism which addresses many of the
problems that arose with the previous version.
Bugs fixed in 2.09:
===================
[1107971] Edit via double-click no longer crashes the application.
[1103501,1119212,1138635] Refined file lock mechanism.
New Features for 2.09:
======================
When saving a database, the previous version, if one exists, will be renamed
with the ".dat~" suffix. This provides some minimal automatic
backup.
The release may be downloaded from here:

Thanks to Frank (xformer) for helping out with the new locking mechanism.
Note that this release also includes PGP/GPG signature files of the
respective packages. These were signed with my SourceForge account key,
keyid FA175557, key fingerprint = FF77 379D D46D DAA6 6182 B452 1D79 5A91
FA17 5557, available from a PGP keyserver near you (such as
http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFA175557).
Enjoy,
Rony
p.s. I've left out a few minor improvements that I hoped to put in this
release in order to get it out the door quickly, as the locking feature was
causing quite a few problems. The next release should be a bit more
substantial in terms of minor bug fixes and new features.
