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).

Considering that KeePass 2.14 is significantly better and runs nicely with mono on Linux, I don't see the need for this news item.

I'm using http://www.keepassx.org/ on GNU/Linux. It's good. And I don't like mono.

I started using PwdHash (http://www.pwdhash.com) way back before it was so convenient to sync your KeePass DB with Dropbox.

I guess it basically uses a secret/master password as a salt combined with a website's address or other identifier to create a pseudorandom password for that site. No need to sync a database or worry about corruption. I do wonder if there are any security issues unique to it but have not heard of any so far.

I wrote an iOS app for PwdHash called Hashed (http://hashedapp.com). There are also browser plugins for Firefox and Chrome and a bookmarklet for any browser called SuperPwdHash (http://cynix.org/tools/superpwdhash).
