Changes from 2.38 to 2.39:

New Features:

• KeePass now uses Transactional NTFS (TxF) for writing database and configuration files, if possible; this improves the compatibility with other programs that are watching these files (e.g. file synchronization services).
• Added command 'Edit' → 'Show Entries' → 'Large Entries'.
• Added command 'Edit' → 'Show Entries' → 'Last Modified Entries'.
• Added option 'Automatically save after modifying an entry using the entry editing dialog' (turned off by default).
• Added option 'Minimize main window after performing auto-type' (turned off by default).
• Added option 'Show lines between nodes in tree views' (turned off by default).
• Added support for importing Google Chrome 66 password CSV files.
• Added trigger event 'Time - Periodic', which is raised at user-defined intervals.
• Links in the entry string editing dialog are clickable now.
• Added UIFlags bit for disabling the 'XML Replace' menu item.
• Added UIFlags bit for hiding auto-type obfuscation compatibility information dialogs.
• Added workaround for .NET 'urtf' RTF round-trip bug.
• Secure edit controls are now extensible by plugins.
• KPScript: the 'AddEntry' command now supports the '-setx-Expires' and '-setx-ExpiryTime' parameters.

Improvements:

• In printouts and HTML exports, expired entries now have a red 'X' icon (if the option 'Icon' is turned on).
• Improved string normalization in the entry and string editing dialogs.

• Improved XML serialization.
• Stream disposal improvements in exceptional situations.
• Process object disposal improvements.
• Extended inter-process communication (IPC) messages are compressed and encrypted now.
• New IPC mechanism on Unix-like systems.
• Enhanced desktop type detection on Unix-like systems.
• On the Cinnamon desktop, the 'Always on Top' option is now disabled (because it is not supported properly by the environment).
• KeePass now ignores hidden Git and Visual Studio directories when building a PLGX file.
• The trigger system now ignores state-changing placeholders in most places.
• Removed trigger event 'User interface state updated' (consider using the new event 'Time - Periodic' instead).
• Various code optimizations.
• Minor other improvements.

Bugfixes:

• The 'View' button on the 'History' tab of the entry editing dialog is now disabled when multiple items are selected.
• The main window state is now updated after closing an entry report dialog.

Changes from 2.39 to 2.39.1:

• File transactions: improved access control list (ACL) restoration.
• File transactions are not used anymore when attempting to write to a local file that does not exist yet (to ensure a correct default ACL).
• The option to minimize the main window after performing auto-type is now ignored while displaying a subdialog.
• Plugins can now implement classes derived from KeePass' custom rich text boxes.
