Hi,

As some of you may know, recent versions of passwordsafe have had issues
with non-English text in databases.

After some work, I've finally gotten passwordsafe to store/retreive data in
utf-8 encoding in the database (again), and have built the application with
unicode support (text is represented in wchar_t rather than chars, linked
against unicode version of MFC). The result is a version that should fully
support non-English text in a portable manner.

I'd appreciate it if readers of this list would download and try
http://passwordsafe.sf.net:/tmp/pwsafe-3.07.03-bin.zip

Note that this should work fine with new databases, and be able to read
existeng databases PROVIDED that they have only ASCII (English) text.
Databases with non-English text written by this version may be read
incorrectly by previous versions.
Bottom line: Please use this for testing only - NOT for real data!

Please drop me a line letting me know if you've tested this, even
(especially?) if the test succeeded.

	Thanks,

		Rony

P.S. - The next formal release of pwsafe (3.08) will have some more
features, plus (hopefully) some or all of the database changes that have
been discussed on this list.
