    New Features:
    • When opening a database via an URL fails, the error message dialog now has a button 'Specify different server credentials' (on Windows Vista and higher).
    • Added support for opening entry URLs with Microsoft Edge via the context menu -> 'URL(s)' -> 'Open with Edge'.
    • Added URL override suggestion for Microsoft Edge in the URL override suggestions drop-down list in the entry dialog.
    • Added optional built-in global URL overrides for opening HTTP/HTTPS URLs with Microsoft Edge.
    • When clicking on a group link in the entry view, KeePass now ensures that the group is visible in the group tree.
    • The main window is now moved onto the primary screen when it is restored outside all screens.
    • KDBX loader: added support for non-empty protected binary value reference elements.
    • Plugins: added two auto-type sequence query events.
    • Added workaround for Mono drawing bug when scrolling a rich text box.
    • When running under Mono, some automatic locking options are now disabled (because Mono doesn't implement the required events).
    • The installer now prevents running the installer while it is already running.
    • KPScript: added '-GroupPath:' parameter (for specifying the full path of a group).
    • KPScript: the 'MoveEntry' command now also supports the '-GroupName:' parameter (as alternative to '-GroupPath:').
    • KPScript: added support for specifying the path of an XSL stylesheet file using the command line parameter '-XslFile:'.
    • KPScript: the 'ListGroups' command now also outputs the parent group UUID for each group.
    • KPScript: the parameters for specifying new field data (for the 'AddEntry' and the 'EditEntry' command) now support escape sequences (e.g. '\n' is replaced by a new-line character).
    Improvements / Changes:
    • The 'Synchronize' file dialog now shows only KDBX files by default.
    • In the 'Attachments (Count)' column, only non-zero counts are shown now.
    • Improved MRU item refreshes.
    • The entry string dialog now supports changing the case of a string name.
    • The entry string dialog now does not allow adding a string whose name differs from another existing string name in this entry only by case.
    • The entry view in the main window is now updated immediately after pressing Ctrl+H or Ctrl+J.
    • The KDB import module now tries to round any invalid date/time to the nearest valid date/time.
    • XML serializers are now loaded/created at KeePass startup in order to avoid a problem when shutting down Windows and KeePass.XmlSerializers.dll not being present.
    • Changed tab bar behavior in the options dialog to avoid a tab content cropping issue caused by plugins.
    • Improved workaround for Mono splitter bug.
    • Upgraded installer.
    • Various performance improvements.
    • Various code optimizations.
    • Minor other improvements.
    Bugfixes:
    • (None).

    Hello Rules,
    I started with 2.29 so, forgive my newbie questions.
    May I over install 2.30
    Are my plugins eg: KeyFox and ChromeIPass assumed supported/compatible with 2.30.

    Yes you can over install if you re using the installer version.
    for your plugins, i think they are fully supported.

    2.30 slipped over 2.29 okay. 2.30 recognized KeyFox okay. ChromeIPass offered slight hesitance with 2.30.

    Hello,
    Are plugins bitness dependent. I can't find info whether plugins work 32/64 bitness.
    Running 32bit Firefox and Chrome. Will ChromeIPass work in Chrome 64bit.
    Will KeyFox work with Firefox 64bit (if and when).

    Thanks for the info. Just went to check my version and it says 2.34 is installed! This seems strange since I have left "Check for update at KeePass startup" unchecked.

    Yes, me too :)
    You have to select the proper dialog first ("username"), then try to auto-type.
    The default auto-type sequence is:
    Code:
    {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}
    It's 100% user-customizable, and can be changed if the login dialog on the website looks different:
    But using a plugin may be a better choice for filling in your data to the correct places (automatically).

    Speaking of getting creative at times with KeePass built-in AutoType feature (without plugins), here is the latest that I figured out that works great with Outlook.com recent changes:
    Code:
    {APPACTIVATE Outlook.com - Microsoft free personal email}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}{DELAY 3000}{USERNAME}{ENTER}{DELAY 3000}{PASSWORD}{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}
    EDIT: Personally, I try to avoid plugins and use vanilla KeePass.

    Thanks WildByDesign! I had given up on Auto Type in Outlook.com and reverted to manually typing. Your Auto Type works brilliantly! :)
    I have also so far avoided any plug ins and like the plain vanilla KP.

    Just referring to official build in typical open source software terms.

    @Cache You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.

    KeePass 2.35 released.

    Now the Argon2 key derivation function can be selected for the KDBX file format to provide better resistance against GPU/ASIC attacks.
    "Argon2 is the winner of the Password Hashing Competition"

    There are of course more changes and improvements:
