…still alive

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.
