KeePass 2.15 has been released today!
You can get it here:
Download KeePass 2.15.
This is a stable release. It is recommended to upgrade from any
previous 2.x version to 2.15.
KeePass 2.15 is backward compatible (i.e. you can open databases created
with KeePass 2.14 and earlier), but as the database file format has been improved
not the other way round (i.e. KeePass 2.14 and earlier cannot
open databases saved with KeePass 2.15).
KeePass 2.15 is a major feature release. It mainly features a new option to show the master key
dialog on a secure desktop (on which almost no keylogger works), history and KDBX
file format improvements, and various other minor new features and improvements.
Hash sums and
OpenPGP signatures for integrity checking
are available. The .NET assemblies are signed,
public keys for verifying are available.

Changes from 2.14 to 2.15:
New Features:
- Added option to show the master key dialog on a secure
desktop (similar to Windows' UAC; almost no keylogger works
on a secure desktop; the option is disabled by default for
compatibility reasons).
- Added option to limit the number of history items per entry
(the default is 10).
- Added option to limit the history size per entry (the default
is 6 MB).
- Added
{PICKCHARS}
placeholder, which shows a dialog to pick
certain characters from an entry string; various options like
specifying the number of characters to pick and conversion to
down arrow keypresses are supported; see the one page long
documentation on the auto-type help page; the less powerful
{PICKPASSWORDCHARS} is now obsolete (but still supported for
backward compatibility).
- The character picking dialog now remembers and restores its
last position and size.
- KDBX file format: attachments are now stored in a pool within
the file and entries reference these items; this reduces the
file size a lot when there are history items of entries
having attachments.
- KDBX file format: attachments are now compressed (if the
compression option is enabled) before being Base64-encoded,
compressed and encrypted; this results in a smaller file,
because the compression algorithm works better on the raw
data than on its encoded form.
- PLGX plugins can now be loaded on Unix-like systems, too.
- Added option to specify a database color; by specifying a
color, the main window icon and the tray icon are recolored
and the database tab (shown when multiple databases are
opened in one window) gets a colored rectangle icon.
- New rich text builder, which supports using multiple
languages in one text (e.g. different Chinese variants).
- Added 'Sort By' popup menu in the 'View' menu.
- Added context menu commands to sort subgroups of a group.
- Added option to clear master key command line parameters
after using them once (enabled by default).
- Added application policies to ask for the current master key
before changing the master key and/or exporting.
- Added option to also unhide source characters when unhiding
the selected characters in the character picking dialog.
- Added ability to export custom icons.
- Added 'String' trigger condition.
- Added support for importing
DataViz Passwords Plus 1.007 CSV files.
- Enhanced 1Password Pro importer to also support 1PW CSV files.
- Enhanced FlexWallet importer to also support version 2006 XML
files (in addition to version 1.7 XML files).
- Enabled auto-suggest for editable drop-down combo boxes (and
auto-append where it makes sense).
- Pressing Ctrl+Enter in the rich text boxes of the entry
dialog and the custom string dialog now closes with OK (if
possible).
- Added option to cancel auto-type when the target window
changes.
- Auto-type on Unix-like systems: added support for key
modifiers.
- Added '
--saveplgxcr ' command line option to save compiler
results in case the compilation of a PLGX plugin fails.
- Added workaround for % .NET SendKeys issue.
- Added workaround for Mono bug 620618 in the main entry list.
Improvements / Changes:
- Improved key file suggestion performance.
- When the master key change application policy is disabled and
the master key expires (forced change), KeePass now shows the
two information dialogs only once per opening.
- After removing the password column, hiding behind asterisks
is suggested by default now when showing the column again.
- TAN entries now expire on auto-type, if the option for
expiring TANs on use is enabled.
- Auto-type now sends acute and grave
accents as separate characters.
- Auto-type now explicitly skips the taskbar window when
searching for the target window.
- Multiple lines are now separated in the entry list and in the
custom string list of the entry dialog by a space.
- RoboForm importer: improved multiline value support.
- Improved UNC path support.
- Improved entry list refresh performance.
- Improved UI state update performance.
- Entry list context menus are now configured instantly.
- Inapplicable group commands are now disabled.
- Improved control focusing.
- Improved clipboard handling.
- Copying and pasting whole entries is now also supported on
Windows 98 and ME.
- Improved releasing of dialog resources.
- Improved keys/placeholders box in auto-type editing dialog.
- Improved user-friendliness in UAC dialogs.
- Tooltips of the tab close button and the password repeat box
can be translated now.
- Improved help (moved placeholders to separate page, ...).
- KeePassLibSD now uses the SHA-256 implementation of Bouncy
Castle.
- Upgraded installer.
- Various code optimizations.
- Minor other improvements.
Bugfixes:
- Window titles are now trimmed, such that auto-type also works
with windows whose titles have leading or trailing whitespace
characters.
- Detection of XSL files works under Linux/MacOS now, too.
