Changes from 2.51.1 to 2.52:

New Features:

• Added 'Copy Initial Password' command in the tools menu of the entry dialog; it copies (to the clipboard) the password that was current when the dialog was opened.
• When multiple entries are selected (containing at least one attachment), the number of attachments is now displayed in the 'Attachments' submenu of the entry menu.
• Added option 'Alt. item background color' (supporting the states 'Off', 'On, default color' and 'On, custom color'); this combines the previous two options 'Use alternating item background colors' and 'Custom alt. item color'.
• Comment placeholders ({C:...}) may now contain balanced braces.
• In the auto-type entry selection dialog, values in the 'Sequence - Comments' column are dereferenced now.
• The time when the password of an entry was last changed is now displayed in the entry dialog on the 'History' tab page.
• The {FIREFOX} placeholder and the 'URL(s)' menu ('Open with ...' commands) now support detecting the Microsoft Store version of Firefox (in addition to the regular versions).
• Added support for importing 1Password 8.7 1PUX files.
• Added support for importing Key Folder 1.22 XML files.
• Sticky Password XML import: added support for importing groups and expiry dates.
• Steganos Password Manager CSV import: added support for the new encoding of double quotes.
• Bitwarden JSON import: time-based one-time password generator settings are converted automatically now.

• For development builds: added command for showing GC information.
• Plugins can now load the header of a database file more easily.
• Plugins can now subscribe to a master key change event.

Improvements:

• Moved the command 'Save Attached File(s) To' into the 'Attachments' submenu of the entry menu and renamed it to 'Save File(s) To'.
• The command for saving attached files is now available only if at least one of the selected entries has at least one attachment.
• The {APPACTIVATE ...} auto-type command now ignores the options 'Cancel auto-type when the target window changes' and 'Cancel auto-type when the target window title changes'.
• {APPACTIVATE ...} auto-type command: if the specified window does not exist or cannot be focused, auto-type is aborted now.
• Unified creation of fields with indices.
• Improved database modification state and UI updating after imports/synchronizations.
• In the master key creation/prompt dialogs, the [OK] button is now disabled when checking the 'Key file/provider' check box and selecting '(None)' in the combo box.
• Improved drop-down menu width adjustment for certain combo boxes in the options dialog.
• Improved hashing performance of protected binaries, UUIDs, ...
• Performance improvements related to empty arrays.
