Re: Format Tests

Wolfgang,

You knew that "d" would not get fixed until V3.02 - so it should be no
surprise that it is as said before = 8 hex digits.

Same goes for "e" since they are not in the V3.01 definition.

It is my view that in V3.02 (when/if it is released):
a. Header 05 (currently nnnnu....uh....h) becomes only u....u (standard text
format)
b. Header 07 becomes the h....h from current 05 (standard text format)
c. Either 04 gets re-used as binary time_t or it is ignored and Header 08
become time_t
d. Your "07" and "08" then get implemented as "08/09" or "09/0a" (hex)

I have suggested to Rony that a draft specification is released for
discussion.  There is no urgency to change the format this minute.  A full
discussion should be had and those interested in the format given a
reasonable period to respond.

Regards,

David

Subject: [Passwordsafe-devel] Format Tests

Hello

I have tested Rony's 03.07.03 test file of 15 May  and found:
(Not tested header 05 (user) as I'm not supporting it.)

a) text format ok
b) UUID preservation ok
c) ITER preservation ok
-->> d) header 04 (save time) still not as binary integer!
-->> e) header 07 and 08 not supported (preserved)

What is more, I have posted a file into "Support Requests" created by JPWS
in the intended format version 3.02. You might find it useful for testing.
The password to open it is "123456" (excellent!).

- Wolfgang
