    • Improved compatibility of the list view dialog with plugins.
    • If ChaCha20 is selected as file encryption algorithm, the database is now saved in the KDBX 4 format (thanks to AMOSSYS).

    • When adding a new entry based on a template that does not expire, the expiry date is now set based on the option 'By default, new entries expire in the following number of days' (in 'Tools' → 'Options' → tab 'Security'), unless the new entry is stored in the templates group.

    • Plugins: an I/O access event is now raised when checking the existence of a local database file.
    • In texts that are about to be displayed in a rich text box, U+FFFC characters are now replaced by question marks (in order to avoid the text being cut off at this point).

    • If the application policy option 'Export - No Key Repeat' is turned off, the master key must now be entered directly before the export is performed, i.e. after choosing the format and the target.

    • When running on Mono, the options 'Focus quick search box when restoring from taskbar' and 'Focus quick search box when restoring from tray' are disabled now (because they do not work reliably due to a bug in Mono).

    Bugfixes:
    • The attachment button drop-down menus in the entry editing dialog now use the correct font.

    • On the 'Security' tab page of the options dialog, two links have been added, which open help pages for experts and administrators.
    • Added {TIMEOTP} placeholder, which generates a time-based one-time password (as specified in RFC 6238).
    • Enhanced XML key file format (added hash that allows to verify the integrity of the key; values are now encoded using hexadecimal characters in order to improve the readability).
    • Added command 'Print Key File Backup' (in 'File' → 'Print').
    • In the dialog that asks whether to print an emergency sheet, there is now an option 'Also print a key file backup' (on Windows), if the master key contains a key file.

    • Added Argon2id key derivation function.
    • Added support for importing Dashlane 6.2039.0 JSON files.
    • Dashlane and RoboForm import: domains are now mapped to HTTPS URLs (instead of HTTP URLs).

    • The local configuration file is now loaded only if necessary.
    • Improved performance of configuration saving.
    • Changed default key file extension from 'key' to 'keyx'.
    • Most key file dialogs now only show '*.keyx' and '*.key' files by default.
    • When clicking the key file 'Browse' button in the master key creation dialog and selecting a file that is not an XML key file, KeePass now asks whether to use the file as key file anyway.
    • Improved key file loading/saving error messages.
    • Various user interface improvements in the import/export dialog.

    • Upgraded installer.
    • Various UI text improvements.
    • Various code optimizations.
    • Minor other improvements.
    Bugfixes:
    • Search: regular expressions starting with a '-' are not treated as exclusions anymore.

    • Added command 'Move to Previous Parent Group' (in the 'Rearrange' popup menu; if the command will move all selected entries/groups out of the recycle bin, a '(Restore)' suffix is appended to the command name; if at least one entry/group will be moved into/within the recycle bin, a confirmation dialog is displayed).
    • Renaming a list view item (if supported, e.g. a file attached to an entry) can now be initiated by pressing the F2 key.
    • Each custom icon may now have a name, and its last modification time is remembered (KDBX 4.1).

    • In the icon picker dialog, the dimensions and the size of a custom icon are now displayed in a tooltip.

    • Added built-in URL override for associating the 'ssh' URL scheme with 'SSH.exe' (OpenSSH, included in Windows 10; activatable/deactivatable in 'Tools' → 'Options' → tab 'Integration' → button 'URL Overrides').
    • Added support for loading images with Exif orientation tags.
    • Enhanced the LastPass import module to support CSV files created by the latest versions.
    • Enhanced the nPassword import module to import group tags.
    • The last modification time of a database-specific custom data item (by a plugin/port) is now saved (KDBX 4.1).

    • Added support for loading KDBX 4 files created by other applications that do not perform a binary content deduplication.
    • Added workaround for .NET/Windows TopMost/WS_EX_TOPMOST desynchronization bug.

    • Tags are sorted naturally now.
    • Improved tag handling performance.
