release history

1.2.3  (2003-10-26)
  • Set dirty flag on changed entries. This fixes syncing with jpilot.
  • Catalan, Polish translation updated again.
  • French translation updated again.
1.2.2  (2003-03-18)
  • Fix for #698054: Fatal Alert in OS 5 when searching.
  • Copyright statements updated.
  • French translation updated.
1.2.1  (2003-01-23)
  • Fix for #670527: Freeze on installation.
  • Italian translation updated.
1.2  (2003-01-18)
  • Support PalmOS global Find.
  • Support pronounceable passwords conforming to the FIPS 181 Automated Password Generator Standard
  • Support interactive search for a key name on list form.
  • Keyedit form is left on auto off if the timeout has also expired. Code works for all supported PalmOS versions.
  • Use pilotSSLeay for encryption, which is a bit faster than the PalmOS builtin encryption. The binaries from pilotSSLeay are included.
  • The last-modified-date is back again.
  • Support larger notes, up to 32000 characters.
1.1  (2003-03-11)
  • Add strong randomness patch by Jochen Hoenicke, based on the Linux entropy device by Ted T'so.
  • Ship only tar and zip files containing both binaries and source, and not bare .prc files. I hope the zip file will reduce the incidence of people suffering corrupted (and unreported) downloads.
  • Merge excellent security patch from Jochen Hoenicke, so that the encryption key is kept on the heap, and obliterated after use, and an alarm locks the keyring when the timeout expires.
  • #213320 If the Keyring database is marked read-only or in Flash ROM, then it can still be opened and viewed. Trying to modify it produces a warning.
  • Merge patch from Mustafa Kocaturk to hide records at power-on.
  • #209050 Hide passwords as they are entered.
  • Repair databases broken by removing private records.
  • Provide a custom font that makes the small letter l and the large letter I are distinguishable in passwords.
  • A lot of new translations by various people. Thanks to Jeroen Vloothuis, Rick Moen, Andreas-Johann Ulvestad, Paolo Gasti, Hiroshi Miura.
1.0  (2000-10-23)
  • Fix the #206167 backup and restore bug in 0.11.0, and recover all data made inaccessible.
  • Fix data bugs #200727, #209425, #201473, and others. Rewrite the database layer, and use PalmOS debugging features.
  • Display a warning about beta status at startup
  • If the version of PalmOS does not have the necessary features then display an apology rather than just crashing.
  • Change database format again, with the master password hash stored in hidden records.
  • For records with no public name, show them in the list by their index number rather than a unique hex string.
  • Discard empty records.
  • Add an #213358 Edit/Undo All feature.
  • Show homepage URL in the About box.
  • Lock timeout is independent of the handheld being switched off or of switching to other applications.
  • Generated passwords can contain writable non-ASCII characters.
  • Key list form now uses a PalmOS Table control and looks much nicer.
  • In the Edit form, the up/down buttons scroll the Notes field if possible, or otherwise flip through the records.
