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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
