3203152 The displayed language can now be changed via the new Manage->Change Language menu.

1471134
Added Autotype code "\s" to send "Shift+Tab" (back tab).
n/a Allow user to control copying of the password to clipboard when performing "Browse to URL" via an option in Options->Security. This is a database option i.e., you can have different setting for different databases.
n/a Support importing of TXT, CSV files and XML exported from KeePass V1 and KeePass V2 XML files. Note that KeePass V2's export in the V1 format is does not conform to their own format as specified by their V1 product and can not be imported. Please review our Help file for the settings in KeePass required during their export.

Changes to Existing Features in V3.26

n/a New image on start-up dialog - courtesy of user Prinz_Eugen.
n/a Polish installation texts added thanks to Michal Niklas.

n/a The default password generation policy is now for 12 character passwords that include symbol characters (previous default was 8, no symbols).
n/a Unknown database header fields and unknown entry fields are no longer exported when a database is exported to XML as there is no mechanism to re-check them during import. Exporting to XML and then importing to a new database can be used to remove these unknown fields.

Thanks to:

New Features for V3.25

n/a Dutch installation instructions thank to Kees, and a first (incomplete) Dutch translation of the application thank to Bert, Kees and Fred.
n/a Korean texts in the application and installer program thanks to Seunggyun.
n/a Poserpro has provided Traditional Chinese texts for the installer program.
n/a New View menu option: Show entries with Expiry. This is useful for displaying entries with passwords that are expired or about to expire.

Changes to Existing Features in V3.25

3171962
The password expiration warning mechanism now checks for expiration daily. The display of expired and almost-expired entries has been redesigned, allowing users to update the entry directly. When an expired password is changed, the expiry date will be cleared unless there is a recurring password expiry interval, in which case a new expiry date will be calculated.
3131945
Double-clicking on the system tray icon when PasswordSafe is not minimized now brings it to front, instead of minimizing.
3131935
Rename of an entry or group in the Tree View can now only be performed via the Rename shortcut (default value F2), using the Edit menu or the right-click context menu. Edit in place by double clicking the entry is no longer allowed as, most of the time, this was not the desired action.
n/a Filtered views are now updated when an entry's edited, e.g., if an entry is edited such that it no longer satisfies the filter's criteria, it will be removed from the display.
n/a The Russian online help has been totally rewritten and updated, thanks to pm_kan.
n/a pm_kan has updated the Russian texts
n/a The Spanish texts have been updated thanks to Jose.

Bugs fixed in V3.25

3194472
Fix new group creation location. When a Group is selected, then selecting 'Add Group' from the Edit menu or from the context menu displayed by right clicking on that Group, the new group will be a child of the selected group. However, when using the context menu displayed on right clicking on 'white space' below the last entry/group displayed, the group will be created at the topmost level.
3165889
No longer crashes if search starts with Shift-Enter (search backwards).
3148701
Windows installer will now refuse to install on Win2K, referring user to last supported version on that OS (3.18).
3115760 Window view is now saved and restored if the user uses the Windows "Show Desktop" feature.
n/a
No longer crashes when doing an Undo after a Merge.
