Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.11.

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 pre-release versions.

New Features for 3.11

[1765240] Add "Clear clipboard" item to tray icon context menu.
[1727768] Copy URL to clipboard added to menus (Ctrl+Alt+L).
[1526169] Add more shortcut keys to add/edit dialog.
[] Give user access to Reports from View menu (only in the same directory as
current open database), since more information is being written there.
[] Give user access to the Compare report from the Compare results dialog.
[] New email action allowed in URL field. To be treated as email, the data
must be prefixed by the characters "mailto:". The data following this
corresponds to the '[mailto:]' standard RFC2368.
For example: "[email protected]?subject=PasswordSafe".
[] Main toolbar can be customized via MS's standard dialog via right click
on this toolbar.
[] Several entries may be "aliased" to a single entry, sharing its password.
See online help for details.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.11

[1815192] The Find function has been re-implemented as a toolbar at bottom
of application.
Button shortcuts: Ctrl+Alt+A = Advanced find,
Ctrl+Alt+S = toggle case Sensitivity, Ctrl+Alt+C = Clear find text
[1790342] Replaced additional key shortcuts for ExpandAll and CollapseAll by
toolbar buttons.  Now there is only one set (the original) of key shortcuts
+ toolbar buttons.
[1756385] The color of the application's system tray icon (when the
application is started and when there's no open database) is now user
configurable, fixing a visibility problem under Vista.
[] Saved string preferences within the database header will not be delimited
by a doublequote if this character is part of the string variable.  An
arbitrary
symbol type character will be used in this case.  If one cannot be found,
the string preference will not be saved in the database.

Bugs fixed in 3.11
==================
[1806201] Non-unique uuids in database now handled correctly.
[1799523] Fix PWS taking a long time saving after XML Import into new DB.
Users who have imported XML into a new database should export again and
re-import after deleting the
<NumberHashIterations>...</NumberHashIterations> entry from the XML file.
[1798588] Users can now change an entry's password with passwords hidden.
[1793224] Copy for expired passwords no longer causes PWS crashes.
[1791482] All preferences stored within the database are now
exported/imported via XML.
[1790286] All String preferences stored within the database are now
correctly read during database open.
[1789983] List View now correct after Group removed.
[1726181] Save of a new database is no longer required to export entries.
[1664219] Autotype now works correctly with '@' in German keyboards, and
non-English keyboards in general.
[1313440] Can new add/edit entries with long group names.
[] Prevent mixed Unicode/ASCII report files and ensure Unicode reports have
BOM as some text editors insist!
[] Disable Rename menu item in List View (only appropriate in Tree View).
[] Disable Tray Minimize/Restore menu items if already Minimized/Visible.
[] Ignore mouse right click not in Tree/List view area.
[] Use the Confirm Delete message even when there is only one child.
