Changes from 2.24 to 2.25:

New features:

  • 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 UIFlags bit for showing last access times.

Improvements:

  • 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.

Bugfixes:

  • Data inserted by entry URL component placeholders is now encoded correctly.
