Some super helpful users have identified issues with Google authentication processes linked to an upgrade of our core HTTP requests library. The library was malfunctioning when making requests from Buttercup Desktop windows. This has now been patched.

It is possible that this also caused issues for other window-based requests, such as with Dropbox and WebDAV.

We've updated the build system to a new, but transitory configuration that will allow the desktop application to support newer module formats (including Buttercup modules with important bug fixes) whilst still supporting Electron's limitations (no ESM). As such several libraries have been upgraded that were previously off limits due to these limitations.

Buttercup's Dropbox client has been upgraded with a new request library for better compatibility. Our Google Drive client has also had the same upgrade, but with additional bug fixes for both shared folders and invalid token expiration response codes. Buttercup's core has also been upgraded to support these improvements.

As Google recently changed the format of their error responses for expired OAuth2 tokens, Buttercup stopped working as it was failing to detect the necessity to renew the token. This release fixes this detection while maintaining support for the old response structure: #1188.

This release fixes several issues preventing entries in Format-B vaults from being moved or deleted.

The foundational packages that make up the desktop application have been upgraded to the newest stable versions. Importers for 1Password and Bitwarden have been updated to include various bugfixes and stability improvements.

It is now possible to migrate your vaults to the "Format B" style that uses a fundamentally different structure to store your data. It's more resilient and much more efficient, which should result in faster unlock times, smaller vaults and less risk of conflicts/data-loss. It is a beta feature and is recommended only if you have backups of your vault (in the stable format) and are willing to take the risk.

Google Drive functionality has been updated to mitigate short authentication periods and broken re-authorisation processes.

New vault settings dialog, including backup options for individual vaults. Currently supports automatic backing up of saved vaults locally.

Tabs will now shrink instead of allowing scrolling. The scroll bar would interfere with the window size and layout on some platforms.

Vault navigation has been improved by switching from the static sidebar to drag-able tabs. Tabs also provide a right-click context menu for easier operation.

This release also includes a password-show feature when entering the vault password.

This release adds the ability to re-authorise Google Drive vault tokens after they completely expire, requiring you to sign in to your account again.

This release fixes the vault auto-lock feature that was only partially implemented. Vaults now automatically lock after a certain amount of time passes with no user activity.

A new menu item for locking all vaults has been added to the application menu.

Thanks to our contributors for adding some great quality-of-life improvements, such as the ability to Command/Ctrl+Click a URL to open it in the browser (only for Website type entries as of right now), and the ability to copy usernames (Command/Ctrl+B) and passwords (Command/Ctrl+C) when an entry is selected.

This release also adds support for Romanian translations within the vault explorer.

This release updates a lot of dependent packages, including the core Electron library.

ARM is now a supported platform.

We've added additional translations: Italian, Romanian.

Upon entering an incorrect vault password, you will be prompted again instead of being booted from the prompt.

🍹 This release patches some issues with Dropbox, which was failing to authenticate and failing to create new vaults. An issue where new entries could be created without a parent group was also fixed.

This release updates our German translations, as well as disabling the annoying network-connectivity error when updates are looked for (upon startup).

This is a patch release that addresses an issue with the search bar not showing on Linux environments that are missing a low-level dependency. It also addresses an instability issue in the UI related to the update process.

The new entry button was broken in 2.8.0 - this release fixes the New Entry button.

Remember that attachments are now available and can be accessed when using File or WebDAV sources.

🛳 2.8.0 is a major upgrade, which boasts a new core major version, upgraded encryption system and attachments support! You can now attach files to entries by dragging and dropping them on the entry (when not in editing mode), on vault types that support attachments. You can read more here.

This release adds support for config/logging/cache location overrides via environment variables for the portable versions of Buttercup.
