KeePassX 0.2.2

KeePassX is a tool designed for those of you who have extremly high demands on secure personal data management. It has a light interface, is cross platform and published under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
KeePassX saves many different information e.g. user names, passwords, urls, attachemts and comments in one single database. For a better management user-defined titles and icons can be specified for each single entry.
Furthermore the entries are sorted in groups, which are customizable as well. The integrated search function allows to search in a single group or the complete database.
KeePassX offers a little utility for secure password generation. The password generator is very customizable, fast and easy to use. Especially someone who generates passwords frequently will appreciate this feature.
The complete database is always encrypted either with AES (alias Rijndael) or Twofish encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. Therefore the saved information can be considered as quite safe. KeePassX uses a database format that is compatibel with KeePass Password Safe. This makes the use of that application even more favourable.
Originally KeePassX was called KeePass/L for Linux since it was a port of Windows password manager Keepass Password Safe.
After KeePass/L became a cross platform application the name was not appropriate anymore and therefore, on 22 March 2006 it has been changed.

- Automatic generation of secure passwords
- extremly customizable password generator for fast and easy creation of secure passwords
- Precaution features- quality indicator for chosen passwords- hiding all passwords behind asterisks
- Encryption- either the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or the Twofish algorithm are used
- encryption of the database in 256 bit sized increments
- Import and export of entries
- import from PwManager (*.pwm) and KWallet (*.xml) files- export as textfile (*.txt)

Enhancements:
- fixed crash when parsing config file under Win32
- fixed loss of entry icons when saving a database which was not created with KeePassX (no KPX_CUSTOM_ICONS metastream)
- introduces new metastream format for custom icons
- removed all old Qt3 support dependecies
- QtNetwork and QtSql are not longer requiered (when using Qt 4.1.3 or later)
- implemented correct UUID management for entries
- added delay of 0.3s before performing auto-type
- metastreams now get valid group IDs (KeePass/Win compatibility)
- fixed drawing errors when performing drag and drop operations in group view
- when there is no translation installed for the systems country preference but one for the same language the program will use it now
- when canceling the file dialog for the opening of an existing database a already openend database will not longer be closed
- same for the creation of a new database
- alpha blending for banner icons
- new standard banner icon
