Announcing PasswordSafe 3.15

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.

[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).

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

or
