MacPass

Notes

Version 0.4 and 0.4.1 have introduced a bug that stores Auto-type keystroke sequences even if they are inherited.
Additionally the default sequence wasn't the usual {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER} but the rather bad {TAB}{USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}.
Please take the time to look at your entries and remove the Auto-type sequences. Additionally there's a helper you can use via Edit > Fix Autotype… that lets you strip all auto-type sequences.

Upcoming

• 0.5.x will be the last version to run on 10.8.
• 0.6 is going to require 10.9 and will include KeePassHttp support.
• The editing system will be changed to work more to the Keepass standard. That is, undo is based on history entries. This kills some of the nicer features of a full undo/redo system but should make a huge step towards interoperability

Noteworthy Changes

• Resolved issues with wrong Auto-type sequences
• Added Auto-type fix dialog that helps drill down on malformed databases
• Enabled Autotype. The feature is not fully working but simple (default) scenarios should work.
• Added password duplicates and expired entries to search filters.
• Added Quick-look preview. This creates a temporary file and thus is considered harmful. The file gets removed by MacPass but in case of a crash the files might stay there until OS X cleans the temporary folders
• MacPass now comes with document icons
• MacPass now tries to open any file regardless of file extension (this works only in the open dialog!)

Known Issues

• KeePassHttp not enabled due to 10.9 SDK requirements
• Auto-type not fully functional
• Editing of auto-type not fully functional
• Not all native Icons supported
• Recycle-bin can only be deleted completely (no selected Entry removal)
• No history entries will be created on changes
• .lock files are ignored

Notes

Rewriting the Core library works nice so far. It's a bit slower than I thought, but it's moving along.

Disclaimer

Always remember, this software is alpha material. Backup you data. Yes, you too!

Changes

Custom fields now get validates and should be unique all the time. This did cause possible corruption of database files.

Known Issues

This release has a regression error that doesn't update the re-selection of the group after you have selected an entry inside the group. The inspector keeps displaying the entry, instead of showing the group. This will be fixed in the next release!

Major Issue

Opening the Database settings with a KDB1 file will prevent the dialog form closing and only can be resolved with a force quit of MacPass. The bug is fixed in the upcoming release. Sorry for anyone who encountered this :(

Changes

• The password tab in the settings now has a repeat field
• Password and/or key file are now required for a new database. It's no longer possible to save without one. Password/Keyfile changes still require a re-save
• Splitter positions should now be stored and restored correctly #28
• The inspector state is now saved as well

Known Issues

This release has a regression error that doesn't update the re-selection of the group after you have selected an entry inside the group. The inspector keeps displaying the entry, instead of showing the group. This will be fixed in the next release!

Changes

• Added "Reopen last Database"
• Removed creation of an empty Database on Activate
• Enabled windows state restoration
• Enabled table column state restoration
• Menu items should be validated better

Enhancements

• Custom fields now can be copied from the context-menu on entries. It's still got some kinks, but that'll be ironed out soon.
• Minor changes to the Database settings Gui.
• Export to XML

Note

I'm currently in the process of rewriting the Library to read and write Keepass files. This slows down the progress on MacPass' front a bit. The goal is to be able to handle kdb and kdbx files more transparently and not be bound to either format along the way.

Changes

• Added more database icons
• Fixed issue preventing arbitrary files to be added as attachments
• Renamed document settings to database settings
• Database settings now has working password/keyfile settings
• Edits on database settings can be canceled.
• Added support to toggle password inputs using code from https://github.com/karelia/SecurityInterface

Attachments

MacPass now is able to store, add export and delete Attachments to KeePass2 Databases. Support for KeePass1 DBs is not included right now but it's around the corner.

Changes

• added MacPass Icon #32
• added add Group, Group and Remote Icon
• improved rendering speed on larger Databases

Known Issues

• Undo/Redo with enabled Trash still broken
• Drag and Drop still broken
• temporarily removed the .lock file awareness as this wasn't fully supported throughout the application

ARC-Release

First Version with full ARC-Support. This might cause crashes and/or bugs so please file them, as they occur.

Notable Changes

• Use of Trash (but not fully compatible)
• Added first settings for databases
• Password editing is still in a separate view, the one in the database settings does not work
