Changes from 2.26 to 2.27:
New Features:
- The estimated password quality
(in bits) is now displayed on the quality progress bar, and right of the quality progress
bar the length of the password is displayed.
- Auto-Type:
before sending a character using a key combination
involving at least two modifiers, KeePass now first tests
whether this key combination is a registered system-wide hot
key, and, if so, tries to send the character as a Unicode
packet instead.
- Auto-Type: added workaround for Cygwin's default Ctrl+Alt
behavior (which differs from Windows' behavior).
- Auto-Type: added
{APPACTIVATE ...} command.
{HMACOTP}
placeholder: added support for specifying the
shared secret using the entry strings 'HmacOtp-Secret-Hex '
(secret as hex string), 'HmacOtp-Secret-Base32 ' (secret as
Base32 string) and 'HmacOtp-Secret-Base64 ' (secret as Base64
string).
{T-CONV:...}
placeholder: added 'Uri-Dec ' type (for
converting the string to its URI-unescaped representation).
- Added placeholders:
{URL:USERINFO} , {URL:USERNAME} and
{URL:PASSWORD} .
- Added placeholders:
{BASE} , {BASE:RMVSCM} , {BASE:SCM} ,
{BASE:HOST} , {BASE:PORT} , {BASE:PATH} , {BASE:QUERY} ,
{BASE:USERINFO} , {BASE:USERNAME} , {BASE:PASSWORD} (within a
URL override,
each of these placeholders is replaced by the
specified part of the string that is being overridden).
- Added
{NEWPASSWORD:/Profile/}
placeholder, which generates a new password for the current entry using the specified
password generator profile.
- Pattern-based password generator:
the '
^ ' character now
removes the next character from the current custom character
set (for example, [a^y] contains all lower-case alphanumeric
characters except 'y ').
- Enhanced syntax highlighting in the sequence
field of the 'Edit Auto-Type Item' dialog.
- Added option 'Do not ask whether to synchronize or overwrite;
force synchronization'.
- Added synchronization support for the group behavior
properties 'Auto-Type for entries in this group' and
'Searching entries in this group'.
- Root group properties are now synchronized based on the last
modification time.
- While saving a database, a shutdown block reason is now specified.
- Added 'Move to Group' menu in the 'Selected Entries' popup of
the main entry list context menu.
- Items of dynamic menus (tags, strings, attachments, password
generator profiles, ...) now have auto-assigned accelerator
keys.
- As alternative to Ctrl+F, pressing F3 in the main window now
displays the 'Find' dialog.
- Added
UIFlags
bit for hiding password quality progress bars and information labels.
- Enhanced system font detection on Unix-like systems.
- When using '
xsel ' for clipboard operations on Unix-like
systems, text is now copied into both the primary selection
and the clipboard.
- Added '
--version '
command line option (for Unix-like systems).
- Plugins can now subscribe to an IPC event that is raised when
running KeePass with the '
-e: ' command line parameter.
- Added workaround for .NET
AutoWordSelection bug.
- Added workaround for Mono bug 10163; saving files using
WebDAV now also works under Mono 2.11 and higher.
- Added workaround for Mono image tabs bug.
- Added workaround for Mono
NumericUpDown drawing bug.
Improvements / Changes:
- Merged the URL scheme overrides and the 'Override all URLs'
option into a new dialog 'URL Overrides'.
- Improved autocompletion of I/O connection
parameters using the MRU list (now treating the user name as filter).
- Improved interaction of I/O connection trigger
parameters and the MRU list.
- The master key prompt dialog now validates
key files only when clicking [OK],
and invalid ones are not removed automatically from the list anymore.
- Improved support for managing columns leftover from
uninstalled plugins in the 'Configure Columns' dialog.
- If the 'Unhide Passwords' policy is turned off,
the passwords column in the auto-type entry selection dialog is now
unavailable.
- The entry list in the main window is now updated immediately
after performing auto-type or copying data to the clipboard.
- Various list view performance improvements.
- The 'Searching entries in this group' group behavior properties are now ignored
during resolving field references.
- Improved behavior in case of syntax errors in placeholders
with parameters.
- Two-channel auto-type obfuscation:
improved realization of clipboard paste commands.
- General main window keyboard shortcuts now also work within
the quick search box and the database tab bar.
- Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Tab in the main window now always selects
the previous database tab (independent of which control has
the focus).
- Changed shortcut keys for moving entries/groups on Unix-like
systems, due to Mono's incorrect handling of Alt (preventing
key events) and navigation keys (selection updated at the
wrong time).
- Auto-Type: improved modifier key releasing on Unix-like systems.
- Various code optimizations.
- Minor other improvements.
Bugfixes:
- A key-up event to the groups tree in the main window without
a corresponding key-down event does not change the entry list
anymore.
