Versie 2.25 van KeePass Password Safe is uitgekomen. Met deze opensource-passwordmanager kunnen accounts worden opgeslagen, inclusief de bijbehorende gegevens, zoals gebruikersnaam, wachtwoord en url. Alle gegevens worden veilig in een met het Rijndael-algoritme versleutelde database opgeslagen. Verder kan het programma automatisch wachtwoorden genereren en lijsten in- en exporteren. Door het toevoegen van dit taalbestand kan het programma ook in het Nederlands worden gebruikt.
Van KeePass Password Safe bestaan twee verschillende uitvoeringen. Versie 1.x heeft geen andere programma's nodig en werkt alleen onder Windows. Versie 2 maakt intern gebruik van xml en heeft verder minimaal versie 2.0 van het .Net Framework nodig of, als het programma onder Linux, OS X of FreeBSD wordt gebruikt, versie 2.6 van Mono of hoger. Een volledig overzicht van de verschillen tussen versie 1 en 2 is op deze pagina te vinden. Hieronder staat de changelog van deze release.
New Features:Improvements / Changes:
- New auto-type key sending engine (improved support for sending Unicode characters and for sending keypresses into virtual machine/emulator windows; now largely compatible with the Neo keyboard layout; sequence parsing is faster, more flexible and optimizes the sequence; improved behavior for invalid sequences; differential delays, making the auto-type process less susceptible to externally caused delays; automatic cancelling is now more precise up to at most one keypress and also works on Unix-like systems; improved message processing during auto-type).
- When trying to open an entry attachment that the built-in editor/viewer cannot handle, KeePass now extracts the attachment to a (EFS-encrypted) temporary file and opens it using the default application associated with this file; afterwards the user can choose between importing/discarding changes and KeePass deletes the temporary file securely.
- On Windows Vista and higher, the button in the entry editing dialog to open attachments is now a split button; the drop-down menu allows to choose between the built-in viewer, the built-in editor and an external application.
- Added 'XML Replace' functionality.
- Generic CSV importer: added option to merge imported groups with groups already existing in the database.
- Added support for importing Dashlane 2.3.2 CSV files.
- On Windows 8 and higher, some running Metro apps are now listed in the 'Edit Auto-Type Item' dialog.
- Added
{T-CONV:/T/C/}placeholder (to convert text to upper-case, lower-case, or its UTF-8 representation to Base64 or Hex).- Added
{SPACE}special key code (as alternative for the '' character, for improved readability of auto-type sequences).- XML merge (used e.g. when an enforced configuration file is present): added support for comments in inner nodes.
- Added
UIFlagsbit for showing last access times.Bugfixes:
- In the history entry viewing dialog, the 'Open' and 'Save' commands are now available for attachments.
- When replacing the
{PASSWORD_ENC}placeholder, KeePass now first Spr-compiles the entry password (i.e. placeholders, environment variables, etc. can be used).- Improved configuration loading performance.
- Improved displaying of fatal exceptions.
- Various code optimizations.
- Minor other improvements.
- Data inserted by entry URL component placeholders is now encoded correctly.
