Fusebox Conference

The annual FuseBox Conference is coming up September 18 & 19. Once again, I will be attending. I'd hoped to go to CFUN as well, but that didn't work out. Should be an informative and enjoyable couple days, including the release of FB4.1, and the announcement of Team Fusebox (whatever that is ; ).

New PasswordSafe Coming

I got an email from a user of PasswordSafe this morning saying that he'd made some very nice improvements to the project, and wanted to contribute them back to the code. A new encryption algorithm, some enhancements to the UI (tooltips and shortcut keys), a new icon set, and the ability to print out the data file.

The new encryption algorithm will create a version incompatibilty, and likely necessitate an export/import of the datafile when upgrading. However, that's a one-time cost. There will be at least one more version using the current (Blowfish-based) codebase that will add the ability to export to and import from a text file.

I'm going to start on the import/export functionality tonight (hopefully), so that should be coming out soon. Not sure when the new version will be released, but hopefully sooner than later, as I want the enhanced version for my own personal use as well.

Note, I actually have no idea if Raif (the other developer) is a he or a she, as the name isn't familiar to me. I've used "he" because it's one less character. Hopefully I don't offend. ; )
