Changes from 2.28 to 2.29:

New Features:

  • Added high resolution icons.
  • Added support for high resolution custom icons.
  • Added option in the proxy configuration dialog to use the user's default credentials (provided by the system).
  • {FIREFOX} placeholder: if no regular Firefox is installed, KeePass now looks for Firefox ESR.
  • {PICKCHARS} placeholder: the Conv-Fmt option now supports all combinations of '0', 'A', 'a' and '?'; '?' skips a combobox item.
  • Added {BEEP X Y} auto-type command (where X is the frequency in hertz and Y the duration in milliseconds).
  • Added optional 'Attachments (Count)' entry list column.
  • Added Ctrl+Insert shortcut as alternative for Ctrl+C in the entry list of the main window.
  • Added shortcut keys for 'Copy Entries' (Ctrl+Shift+C) and 'Paste Entries' (Ctrl+Shift+V).
  • Added some access keys in various dialogs.
  • In the field reference dialog, the field in which the reference will be inserted is now selected as source field by default.
  • Added UUID uniqueness check.
  • Added support for importing Passphrase Keeper 2.60 HTML files (in addition to the already supported 2.50 and 2.70 formats).
  • The path of the local configuration file can now be changed using the '-cfg-local:' command line parameter.
  • Plugins can now access the KeePass resources (images, icons, etc.) through the IPluginHost interface.
  • Added a few workarounds for external window manipulations before the main window has been fully constructed.
  • Added workaround for .NET gradient drawing bug; 'Blue Carbon' dialog banners are now drawn correctly on high DPI.
  • Added workaround for Mono file version information block generation bug.
  • KPScript: added 'EstimateQuality' command (to estimate the quality of a specified password).
  • All KeePass program binaries are now digitally signed (thanks to Certum/Unizeto).

Improvements / Changes:

  • In the master key creation dialog, the 'Create' and 'Browse' buttons are now disabled when a key provider is selected.
  • Changed behavior of the 'Use system proxy settings' option (KeePass now directly gets the system proxy settings, not the .NET default proxy settings).
  • Improved focus restoration after closing the character picking dialog.
  • Removed 'O' and 'C' access keys from 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons (instead, press Enter for 'OK' and Esc for 'Cancel').
  • Improved remembering of splitter positions.
  • Improved assignments of check mark images to menu items.
  • Improved behavior when synchronizing a local EFS-encrypted database file with a local database file.
  • On Unix-like systems, hot key boxes now show 'External' instead of 'None'.
  • Various code optimizations.
  • Minor other improvements.

Bugfixes:

  • AltGr+E (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+E) does not focus the quick search box anymore.
