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
