[3065111] Add/Edit now displays both the Application's (PasswordSafe) and the current database's default Autotype string (if set via Manage->Options).

[] The default password generation policy is now for 12 character passwords that include symbol characters (previous default was 8, no symbols). [] Unknown database header fields and unknown entry fields are no longer exported when a database is exported to XML as there is no mechanism to re-check them during import. Exporting to XML and then importing to a new database can be used to remove these unknown fields. [] Date time fields, when exported to XML, now are in the W3C dateTime standard format instead of PasswordSafe's. This release can import XML files with date time fields in either of these forms. The next release will only be able to process the W3C standard. [] Fully support importing of TXT files exported from KeePass V1 including the Group Tree structure, URL and date time fields.

The display of expired and almost-expired entries has been redesigned, allowing users to update the entry directly. When an expired password is changed, the expiry date will be cleared unless there is a recurring password expiry interval, in which case a new expiry date will be calculated. [3131945] Double-clicking on the system tray icon when PasswordSafe is not minimized now brings it to front, instead of minimizing. [3131935] Rename of an entry or group in the Tree View can now only be performed via the Rename shortcut (default value F2), using the Edit menu or the right-click context menu.

[] Fixed problem with viewing a shortcut in read-only mode - thanks to gillum for reporting and helping track this down. [] Fix crash when using External Editor on Notes field. [] Password verification field not set when editing/viewing an alias entry and the password is hidden. [] Enter key works again in initial dialog if browse button used to select a database. [] AutoType by an alias now has correct password and its own notes data rather than '[Alias]' and its base's notes data, respectively. [] Run command no longer truncates the first field if it is within double quotes. [] Duplicate entry now duplicates double-click action of original as well.

[2832810] A new email field has been added, supporting email headers 'to', 'subject', 'cc', 'bcc' and 'body' (per RFC 2368 - see online help for details). If this field is not empty, it is used instead of the URL field even if that contains an email address. Note: whereas the URL field had to have the 'mailto:' prefix to denote an email address rather than a URL, the email field must not contain this prefix. [] PasswordSafe now handles Vista (and later) logoff, shutdown & restart more gracefully, giving the user now has more time to save a modified database. [] Add new AutoType special fields '\wnnn' and '\Wnnn'. Unlike '\d', which sets the delay between sending each subsequent character, '\w' & '\W' introduces a one-time delay where they appear. For '\w', the value 'nnn' is in milli-seconds. For '\W', this specifies seconds.

Please do not allocate "Ctrl + -" to any shortcut if you will be using a French keyboard. [] If a dialog is open (e.g. Add, Edit, Options etc.) and Password Safe is minimized, the Close and Exit options are no longer in the System Tray context menu. The user must first Restore the application and close the dialog before being able to close the database or exit the program. [] If preferences stored in the database are changed, the user will be asked if they want to save them in the database when closing the database or application even if none of the entries have been changed. [] The preference to Lock the Database after a certain amount of idle time has changed from being a global parameter affecting all databases opened by the user to be specific to each database.

[2657132] View Reports no longer causes application crash. [] Correct DragBar bitmaps for a new database. Changes to Existing Features in 3.17 ==================================== [] When doing a Browse to URL, the password of the current entry is copied to the clipboard. This is action is not performed if the Browse is invoked from the Edit dialog box. [] Shortcut 'Ctrl+B' (Manage Menu->Backup) has been removed. Shortcut 'Ctrl+R' (Manage Menu->Restore) has been re-assigned to the new "Run Command" function. New Features for 3.17 ===================== [1954166] New preference to control word wrap in the Notes field in Add & Edit.

[2450841] The user can use the DragBar to drag and drop the group name when a group is selected. Pressing the Ctrl key while dragging the group, when a group or entry is selected, will only copy the immediate parent group. Standard behaviour is to copy all groups up to the root of the database with dots between successive group names. [2450827] Add a new menu item (on Edit Menu or right-click context menu) to go to the corresponding base entry of an Alias or Shortcut. As part of this change, only relevant items are shown on the Edit menu depending on the current selected item (group or normal, shortcut base, alias base, alias or shortcut entry). [2425045] During Edit, if the entry has been changed and the user presses the Cancel button, they are asked to confirm losing their changes.

[2144489] Click on the text next to edit fields to copy the field to the clipboard. Ctrl+Click on the URL will launch the browser. Text will flash to show what it has done (green - copy, pink - launch). [1871364] Add feature to display a subset of the password. This is useful for websites that need different particular characters from a password at each login. To access this, select an item, right-click and choose Display Subset of Password.
