2015 History
PasswordSafe was originally designed by Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Since then,
it has evolved considerably. The following table has links to pages detailing the release history of PasswordSafe
since the project was made open source. This can be useful for seeing
what features were added and what bugs were fixed since a given release.
31 December 2015
PasswordSafe version 3.38 has been released. This fixes a problem with displaying PasswordSafe under Windows 8 and later on high resolution displays.
In addition, this has some significant "under the hood" restructuring to support the next version of the PasswordSafe format.
Thanks to Bill, Bjorne, dk, Jorge, Kevin, Nicholas, pm_kan, sauravg, Todd, Vladimir and others for their help in this release.

10 October 2015
PasswordSafe version 3.37.1 has been released. This fixes a regression found in 3.37, affecting the "wide" version of add and edit entry windows (these are displayed when the user's screen is relatively short).
Thanks to Nicholas for reporting this, and to dk for rapidly finding and fixing the root cause.

PasswordSafe version 3.37 for Windows has been released.

right-click or just hitting Enter. |
