Announcing PasswordSafe 3.42 for Windows

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.42 for Windows.
This is a maintenance release, fixing a few minor issues, as described
below.
Thanks to dk, pm_kan, Bjorne, Dave, Francois, Karlo, Larry, MrMe and others
for their help in this release.
Thanks also to all the users who have provided bug reports, suggestions,
and the occasional donation...

A couple of changes are worth pointing out in particular:

1. For the first time, we're making 64 bit versions of program available in
Windows. If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you might prefer this
build (although the 32 bit version will still work just fine).
Thanks to Dave for making this happen.
2. I've updated the PGP signing key that is used to create digital
signatures of the uploaded files. The new key (7F2F1BB9) may be found here
<http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xB131423D7F2F1BB9>.

Bugs fixed in 3.42
==================
- Fix issue when locking database when not using the System Tray.
- Fix empty group validation on database open.
[G288] Changes to default password policy now persistent under V4 databases.
[1395] PasswordSafe now correctly duplicates a group containing both a base
entry and its dependent i.e. shortcut or alias.
[1393] Correctly handle opening a locked database, which is open in R/W by
another user.
[1392] If the command line parameter '-g' is used to specify a
configuration file by its relative path, PasswordSafe will now look for it
in the same directory as the executable unless overridden by the
PWS_PREFSDIR environment variable.
[1391] Fixed slow opening of a database if the default group display is
completely collapsed.
[1385] The filter active indicator now shows in Windows 7.
[1384] Toolbar images and text are now back in sync.
[1367] Fixed regression in command line arguments -h and -u support.
[1358] When PaswordSafe automatically locks to the TaskBar, the unlock
window now gets input focus when clicking on the icon to unlock the
database.
[1346] The Notes window scroll position in Add/Edit no longer jumps to last
selected line when it is reshown after being hidden.
[1275] The scroll positions of the Tree and List views are now saved on
minimize and used to set the window position when it is restored..

Changes to Existing Features in 3.42
====================================
- Previous commands, e.g. edit or delete an entry, are no longer cleared
when the database is locked to enable their undo after the database has
been unlocked.
- User selected font sizes are now saved in points in the configuration
file so that the same size of font is used across different user systems if
sharing the configuration file. This helps where the different systems have
different resolutions.
[819] A duplicated entry's creation time is set to the time of duplication.
All other times are copied from the original.
[816] Set installed version in uninstall section of Registry for Windows
version.

New Features for 3.42
=====================
- A new internal filter has been implemented to show only those entries
from last Find. Access via the View menu or Ctrl+K shortcut.
- PasswordSafe now supports the "long press" as the equivalent of a right
mouse click on Windows systems with touch screens running Windows 7 and
later.
[822] An open database can now be locked via the File menu or a Toolbar
button irrespective of whether the System Tray is used or not.
[821] A new symbol for protected entries (locked padlock) has been
implemented but, if the currently selected Tree/List font does not support
it and the user is not running Windows 10, then the old symbol ('#') will
be used.
