Is anything special in this version?


New Features & Improvements:

- Added option to remember key sources (key file paths, provider names, ...); it's enabled by default.

- New locking timer (using a timeout instead of a countdown).

- Lock files are now hidden.

- On Windows 7 and higher, the main window peek preview is now disabled when the KeePass workspace is locked.

- File transactions: the NTFS/EFS encryption flag is now also preserved when the containing directory isn't encrypted.

- {FIREFOX} placeholder: added support for registry-redirected 32-bit Firefox installations on 64-bit Windows systems.

- Relative database paths on the command line are now evaluated relatively to the initial working directory (specified by the parent process) instead of the last used directory. - Improved user-friendliness in UAC dialogs. Improved help (moved placeholders to separate page, ...).

- Installer: the KeePass start menu shortcut is now created directly in the programs folder; the other shortcuts have been removed (use the Control Panel for uninstalling and the 'Help' menu in KeePass to access the help).

- Upgraded installer.

- Various code optimizations.

- Minor other improvements.

Bugfixes:

- (None).
