    Thanks for keeping up this great work. I’m really anxious about the new version. Best password safe ever!
    Cheers Holger

    Is there a Maemo package for KeePassX? That’d help out a lot having the password file with me on the road.

  3. >M - 2. March 2008

    GREAT news. Thank you for this. Your hard work and dedication are sincerely appreciated.

  4. Heinrich Kalkbrenner - 2. March 2008

    Is there any intention to integrate a TAN-Manager as is in KeePass Password Safe for Windows? I was too glad with this feature.

  5. z2n - 2. March 2008

    Yes, there is Maemo package for keepassx, and it’s compatible with the Linux & Windows versions. See:

    http://qt4.garage.maemo.org/dists/chinook/extras/binary-armel/keepassx/

    I’ve made some trivial changes to the GUI to increase the font size and allow for a full-screen display on the Nokia tablet…nothing to do with the functionality or algorithms. I’ve submitted those changes back to the Maemo port maintainer…but until they show up in the repository, feel free to contact me directly for a copy.

  10. Dankh - 4. March 2008

    Thank YOU for the update and also for the Ubuntu packages ! This is one of the hot apps that I use every day, and every update and enhancement is a real joy here !!! Thanks again.

  11. kramed - 4. March 2008

    Very well done.

  12. Furies - 4. March 2008

    Wonderful! Looks and behaves beautifully on Mac OS X Leopard!

  13. psdl.mac - 4. March 2008

    Could you please release the binaries ? :D

  14. psdl.mac - 4. March 2008

    aaaah, forget it… downloaded it from the project page !

    thx so much ! :D

  15. bernd - 4. March 2008

    Hi, fist of all a big thank you for the new release!
    Its much better now on osx, feels like a charm.
    One Question though -
    you write that it now supports “global autotype” -
    but how can i doo that ? I know it from the Windows version,
    that you can hit CTRL V and the stuff is pushed over to the last open window.
    Does this work now? Am I just to dumb to find it?
    If not, then I politely as this to be implemented in a Future release.
    Again – thanks so much for this really helpful Programm!!!!!!

  16. Christian - 4. March 2008

    0.3.0 has been added to Gentoo’s repository

  17. osx10.5 - 4. March 2008

    leider kann ich meine “.kdb” nicht mehr von einem usb-stick aufrufen… er zeigt mir nur die festplatte zur auswahl an!

  18. Friend - 5. March 2008

    Thanks! Got update in ubuntu :)

  19. Freaky - 5. March 2008

    Thanks man. Gentoo has it in ebuilds now xD

  20. Terr - 5. March 2008

    Great release! Keep up the good work :)

  21. Leo - 6. March 2008

    Wow! Global Auto-Type! Very nice and useful!
    Very very well done!

  22. x2on - 6. March 2008

    Where can i download the binaries for Ubuntu 7.10 ? I can’t find the link!

  24. Thomas - 7. March 2008

    Thanks a lot ! Good work guys;

  25. Doofus - 7. March 2008

    Will there be a portable version for 0.3.0?

  26. Matthew - 8. March 2008

    Awesome! Thanks for the release!

  27. David - 9. March 2008

    Can someone port this to Solaris?

  28. Tarek - 9. March 2008

    The source code should compile under Solaris. You just need to install Qt 4.3 or newer.

  29. Jahrelanger Benutzer - 11. March 2008

    Kann mit Version 0.3 (wie mein Vorredner unter Punkt 17.) unter Mac leider nicht auf mein USB-Stick zugreifen, wo meine Datenbank liegt, da ich diese auf verschiedenen Systemen benutze. Kann auf die Dtenbank nur zugreifen, wenn diese auf dem Festplattenlaufwerk liegt. Woran liegt das?

  30. Tarek - 11. March 2008

    Wechseldatenträger können durch Eingabe von “/Volumes” in das Dateinamefeld und anschließendem Enter-Drücken gefunden werden. Dass Version 0.3.0 die Qt Standarddateidialoge benutzt war eigentlich nicht beabsichtigt und ist ein Nebeneffekt einer anderen Änderung. Version 0.3.1 wird höchstwahrscheinlich wieder die nativen MacOS X-Dialoge benutzen.

    for non-german readers:
    Mounted drives which are not shown in the sidebar of the file dialog in version 0.3.0 can be found under /Volumes. Just type “/Volumes” into the file name entry field and hit return. Version 0.3.1 will most likley use the native MacOS X dialogs again.

  31. Juha - 11. March 2008

    Very well done!

  32. Jahrelanger Benutzer - 12. March 2008

    Many Thanks to Tarek for this hint. Now I can use the new version with MacOS X.

  33. ZYV - 13. March 2008

    I wish there were RPMs or binaries for CentOS 5.1 / RHEL 5.1 / Fedora 6 (whatever you wish). We have qt-4.2.1 and I was unable to rebuild the package from source RPM.

  34. SniperBeamer - 13. March 2008

    KeePassX 0.3.0 requires Qt >= 4.3.0

  35. Dave - 14. March 2008

    Great update…many thanks!!

  36. Vovan - 15. March 2008

    Is there any static build of KeePassX ? It would we very handy to put on USB stick – just one file.

  37. ZYV - 25. March 2008

    SniperBeamer, I know this. That is why I am asking if it’s possible to make special statically built RPM with all this stuff compiled right into it for Fedora 6 and lower. I don’t want to upgrade qt to what is shipped with Fedora 7+ just to screw up my whole system :)

  38. Geoff - 20. April 2008

    Very, very, good work. Just downloaded and it looks great–getting very close to the original. Thank you!

    I think someone else asked this already and maybe we’re the only two having this problem, but I just moved over from Windows to Leopard and invoking auto-type is in Windows is Ctl-Alt-A. What’s the equivalent on the Mac?

    I know KeepassX doesn’t have plug-ins yet, but I tend to keep my master database of a USB drive and I’ve been using ABP to automatically backup to both my home (now Mac) and work (still XP). Keeps everything in synch very easily. I think the author of ABP has the right philosophy on KeePass backups–one just invokes the proper command line shortcut from either machine and KeePass is launched in such a way that the command-line tells KeePass where the local backup should be. Changes to the DB are automatically saved. Maybe there’s another way of doing this in Mac, but I definitely would love to have this functionality on OS X.

    Hallo, warum muss man die lokalisierung so kompliziert machen. Ich hab die neue version wieder entfernt und benutze die alte, da war eine deutsche Übersetzung einfacher zu bekommen. Ich bin ja kein Programmierer oder Computerfreak sonder ein MAC-Nutzer! Ich will Programme benutzen und nicht selber schreiben. Wäre schön wenn es mal irgendwann eine Übersetzung auch für Normale Computernutzer gibt. Gruß

    Very, very, good work.
