KeePass 2.21 - Changelog

What's new in KeePass 2.21:

February 20th, 2013

New Features:

· Generic CSV importer: a group separator can be specified now (for importing group trees).
· Internal data viewer: added hex viewer mode (which is now the default for unknown data types).
· In the 'Show Entries by Tag' menu, the number of entries having a specific tag is now shown right of the tag.
· In the 'Add Tag' menu, a tag is now disabled if all selected entries already have this tag.
· Auto-Type: added support for right modifier keys.
· Added special key codes: {WIN}, {LWIN}, {RWIN}, {APPS}, {NUMPAD0} to {NUMPAD9}.
· Interleaved sending of keys is now prevented by default (if you e.g. have an auto-type sequence that triggers another auto-type, enable the new option 'Allow interleaved sending of keys' in 'Tools' -> 'Options' -> tab 'Advanced').
· Added '-auto-type-selected' command line option (other running KeePass instances perform auto-type for the currently selected entry).
· Added option to additionally show references when showing dereferenced data (enabled by default).
· The selection in a secure edit control is now preserved when unhiding and hiding the content.
· The auto-type association editing dialog now does not hang anymore when a window of any other application hangs.
· When an application switches from the secure desktop to a different desktop, KeePass now shows a warning message box; clicking [OK] switches back to the secure desktop.
· Added 'OK'/'Cancel' buttons in the icon picker dialog.
· Added support for importing LastPass 2.0.2 CSV files.
· KeePass now shows an error message when the user accidentally attempts to use a database file as key file.
· Added support for UTF-16 surrogate pairs.
· Added UTF-8 BOM support for version information files.
· The KeePass version is now also shown in the components list in the 'About' dialog.
· File operations are now context-independent (this e.g. makes it possible to use the 'Activate database' trigger action during locking).
· Plugins can now register their placeholders to be shown in the auto-type item editing dialog.
· Plugins can now subscribe to IO access events.
· Added workaround for .NET bug 694242; status dialogs now scale properly with the DPI resolution.
· Added workaround for Mono DataGridView.EditMode bug.
· Added workaround for Mono bug 586901; high Unicode characters in rich text boxes are displayed properly now.
