Hi,
This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.41 for Windows.
This is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor issues, as described
below.
Thanks to dk, sauravg, pm_kan, Larry, Bjorne and others for their help in
this release.
Special thanks to MrMe for both the quantity and quality of his bug reports.
Thanks also to all the users who have provided bug reports, suggestions,
and the occasional donation...
Bugs fixed in 3.41.0
====================
[] Fix crash if Find active when applying a filter, e.g., show entries with
expiry dates.
[] Ensure shortcut is updated in GUI after editing.
[] Text in the Find toolbar search edit control is now vertically centered
to reduce character truncation.
[] Clicking on a field's name copies the value to the clipboard when adding a
new entry (and not only when editing).
[] Update password history when Apply is clicked, not only when Edit window's
closed.
[] No longer show empty groups when the user filters for entries with
expired passwords.
[1378] Fix application crash if Add/Edit entry dialog open when the
database is locked e.g. via idle timer, workstation lock etc.
[1373] An invalid or non-existent backup directory path can no longer be
saved when exiting Options.
[1369] The virtual keyboard no longer becomes unusable after clicking on
the Randomize button.
[1368] The Status bar now shows the correct number of entries when a
database is unlocked.
[1367] Fixed regression in command line arguments -h and -u support.
[1366] Copying the unexpanded autotype string on Edit entry screen using
Ctrl+click on Autotype label now works.
[1365] Ctrl+F now switches focus back to Find toolbar if it is already open.
[1364] Unnecessary tree view refreshes fixed.
[1363] Empty groups no longer disappear when moving nested groups into them
and do not leave duplicated empty groups in the database.
[G192] Saved changes no longer prevent logoff or system shutdown.
Changes to Existing Features in 3.41.0
================================
[] You can no longer change an alias's base entry's password from the alias
entry. Instead, you should edit the base entry directly by selecting the
alias entry and using the Edit or right-click context menu to select its
base.
[] The "Show Find Toolbar" has been removed from the View menu as it
appears in the Edit menu. Ctrl+F still works as before to show the Find
toolbar or transfer focus to it if already visible.
[1371] The font used in the Find toolbar is now set to the user specified
Add/Edit font instead of the Tree/List view font.
New Features for 3.41.0
====================
[] New AutoType field '\#' toggles the use of the older mechanism to send
keyboard input to other applications e.g. browsers.
[] Add more Help to the Add/Edit Basic and Additional tabs.
[] Empty groups added but not yet saved are now included when the user
filters on unsaved changes.
[] Empty groups, whose names satisfy a filter that include tests on group
name values, are now included in the display when the filter is active.
[815] The database backup location now supports environmental variables
e.g. %homedrive% and %homepath%. If used, the resulting path is shown.
[814] Clearing the recent database list now requires confirmation.
[813] When exporting a group to a new database, there is now an option to
also export all filters stored in the database to the new database.
[796] Autotype has been extended to support the previous password, if
present in the entry's password history, via the Autotype field '\q'. In
addition, for Windows,
a number of keyboard keys are supported by specifying the key between '\{'
and '}'. Please see Help for details.
