For a short description of Password Safe, please see the accompanying README.txt file. For more information on the product and the project, please visit http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net. Details about changes to older releases may be found in the file ChangeLog.txt. New Features for 3.21 ===================== [2940756] Add "Apply" button to Edit property pages so that intermediate changes can be saved without closing the Edit property pages. [2919319] PasswordSafe can now be used as a password generator via the Manage menu. [2616175] Allows user to retry finding the original database if not successfully found the first time. [] Undo/Redo of changes to the currently open database. Any change to the database can now be undone and redone, as long as the database is open. This is similar to the undo/redo feature available in most word processors, and is activated the same way (Ctrl-Z for undo, Ctrl-Y for redo, or via the Edit menu). [] New Synchronize feature (subset of the current Merge function) to allow changes in the fields of entries of two databases to be synchronised. Entries with identical Group names, Titles and User names are compared when syncing.
