Improvements

• KeePass specific improvements:
  
  • 30 KeePass languages are available by default: select the language in View > Change Language menu
  • Entry edit dialog can now bulk edit all currently selected entries at once
  • Support for opening URLs with various browsers in incognito mode

Bug Fixes

• CSV TOTP codes are handled by default with file imports.
• Fixed a performance problem and rare edge case with granting access with User Access.
• Fixed Login System Message Window bug.
• Replaced 2FA QR code chart component.
• Fixed potential errors in automated processes.

Known Issues

• KeePass client File Size:
  • KeePass desktop install file size: 380 MB.
    • Includes WebView2 component with the benefits of rigorous OAuth authentication methods, application proxy, security protections, and reduction of possible install failures.
    • Future: use of the default browser will reduce file size. 

• Stalled Install progress:

  • Install Prerequisite: the install requires .NET 4.8 framework files (see section below)
  • If the file installation process is stalled after 10 minutes, stop, restart the machine, and restart the install. The files have now been added and the install will now complete.

• Logging KeePass Refresh event

  • The Refresh button event occurs as expected but will not display in the audit events. This is temporary for this release; expect resolution in a future release soon.

Compatibility Notes

• KeePass:

  • KeePass for Pleasant users must upgrade to 8.0.8 or higher

• Server requires .NET 4.8

  • The upgrade will attempt to download .NET 4.8 files via the internet if not already installed:

    • https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2088631

  • However, installing this one-time package prerequisite is installed before install/upgrade will ensure the install process is smooth.
