Changes from 2.35 to 2.36:

New Features:

• Added commands 'Find Duplicate Passwords' and 'Find Similar Passwords' (in 'Edit' -> 'Show Entries'), which show entries that are using the same or similar passwords.
• Added command 'Password Quality Report' (in 'Edit' -> 'Show Entries'), which shows all entries and the estimated quality of their passwords.
• Added option 'String name' in the 'Edit' -> 'Find' dialog (for searching entries that have a specific custom string field).
• Added option for using a gray tray icon.
• Added {CMD:/.../} placeholder, which runs a command line.
• Added {T-CONV:/.../Raw/} placeholder, which inserts a text without encoding it for the current context.
• Added optional 'Last Password Modification Time (Based on History)' entry list column.
• The internal text editor now supports editing PS1 files.
• The position and size of the internal data viewer is now remembered and restored.
• For various dialogs, the maximized state is now remembered and restored.
• Added configuration option for specifying an expiry date for master keys.
• Added configuration option for specifying disallowed auto-type target windows.
• Added workaround for Edge throwing away all keyboard input for a short time after its activation.
• Added workaround for Mono not properly rendering bold and italic text in rich text boxes.
• TrlUtil now performs a case-sensitive word validation.

Improvements:

• The password input controls in the I/O connection dialog and the proxy dialog now are secure edit controls.
• The icon of the 'Save' command in the main menu is now grayed out when there are no database changes (like the toolbar button).
• Auto-Type: improved support for target applications that redirect the focus immediately.
• Auto-Type: improved compatibility with VMware vSphere client.
• When an error occurs during auto-type, KeePass is now brought to the foreground before showing an error message box.
• Entries in groups where searching is disabled (e.g. the recycle bin group) are now ignored by the commands that show expired entries.
• Improved scrolling when moving entries while grouping in the entry list is on.
• Improved support for right-to-left writing systems.

• Updated low resolution ICO files (for Mono development).
• Moved single-click tray icon action option from the 'Integration' tab to the 'Interface' tab of the options dialog.
• Synchronization file path comparisons are case-insensitive now.
• Improved workaround for Mono clipboard bug (improved performance and window detection; the workaround is now applied only if 'xsel' and 'xdotool' are installed).
• Enhanced PrepMonoDev.sh script.
• KPScript: times in group and entry lists now contain a time zone identifier (typically 'Z' for UTC).
• Various code optimizations.
• Minor other improvements.

Bugfixes:

• The drop-down menu commands in the entry editing dialog for setting the expiry date now work as expected.
