0.2.2 Leopard Hotfix
Posted by by Tarek on 30. October 2007

Many people reported that the current version of KeePassX (0.2.2) crashes on the new version of MacOS X 10.5 alias Leopard. This problem is now fixed and you can find a updated build for Leopard in our download section.

Direct Download Links:
KeePassX 0.2.2 for MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5 (Intel x86 only) 4.6 MB
KeePassX 0.2.2 for MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5 (Universal Binary: Intel x86 and PowerPC) 8.7 MB

This hotfix does have a minor visual side effect: Some buttons are displayed as tool buttons even though they are dialog buttons. This is just a problem of 0.2.2. Version 0.2.3 will show the correct buttons and remove some other GUI issues on MacOS X as well.

Additionally to the MacOS X 10.5 support a fix for a very annoying bug in 0.2.2 was backported from the 0.2.3 branch:
Files which do not have an extension get no longer greyed-out in the file dialog and the correct extension (.kdb) gets now automatically appended to the filenames of new databases.

UPDATE:
Added an universal binary bundle, the first file was x86 only even though the link title said otherwise.

UPDATE II:
The downloads are not longer available. Please use the new versions of KeePassX instead, which are now fully Leopard compatible.

…still alive
Posted by by Tarek on 14. July 2007

The last release of KeePassX was over one year ago so I think it’s time to show that the project is still alive. So I want to give you some information about the future plans for KeePassX as well as a preview of the upcoming release 0.2.3.

The main changes in 0.2.3 will be the following:

of course many bug fixes
fully customizable HTML based detail view
better structured settings dialog
secure random number generator based on ‘Yarrow‘ including an optional entropy collector
new dialog to view expiered entries
calendar widget to edit expiration dates in a more confortable way
restructured password generator
much better appearance under MacOS X
fine tuning options for auto-type
system tray icon
misc. visual improvements

The listed things are already done, but they still need some testing and there are also many bugs which need to be fixed as well as some features which are going to be part of this release. Therefore the planned release date is ~~August or September 2007~~ November or December 2007 (sorry, I’m just busy).
Have a look on the screenshots of the current development state of 0.2.3.

After 0.2.3 is released the work on the 0.3 branch will begin.
The main goal of version 0.3.0 is the implementation of KeePass 2 support. ~~The targeted release date is October 2007~~.
It is possible that there will be other releases of the 0.2.x branch even after 0.3.0 depending on how well 0.3.0 performs.
