KeeFox

You can now download version 0.9b from the development channel at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keefox/ Users already subscribed to the development channel (i.e. running 0.8.22b at the moment) will be upgraded automatically. You ... [More] can easily swap back to 0.8.21 if you find a problem with 0.9 so please try it out and post in the forum if you do find any new issues. Assuming a successful beta testing period, this version will be rolled out to all 0.8.21 users in a couple of weeks. This version is suitable for widespread use but may still contain a few bugs. This version has a few improvements to the features added in 0.8.22, updates the default version of KeePass to 2.16 and adds the first two (incomplete) translations: Swedish Russian The previously unannounced version 0.8.22 also changes: FIXED: Editing passwords with KeePassRPC GUI sometimes showed an empty password Master key entry dialog focuses correctly on all versions of Windows (most of the time) Improved form filling for some types of form Note that earlier versions of Firefox 6 had a bug which prevented KeeFox from working. FF6b3+ should work fine, as should Firefox 7a*. A full record of changes is available in the changelog as usual: http://keefox.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/keefox/trunk/Firefox%20addon/CHANGELOG.txt Before releasing version 1.0 I will improve documentation / help, add as many translations as possible and of course fix any bugs that I can.

You can now download version 0.8.21 from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keefox/ This is a required upgrade for all users. You must upgrade before the end of June 2011 or KeeFox will stop working. Firefox should automatically prompt ... [More] you to install a new version soon and future versions of KeeFox will keep up to date automatically through the official Firefox add-ons site. Apart from the switch to an automatic update system, there are a few other minor improvements too. Full details are available in the changelog as usual: http://keefox.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/keefox/trunk/Firefox%20addon/CHANGELOG.txt [Less]

I’m pleased to announce that KeeFox has recently been accepted into the official Firefox add-ons directory and can now be found at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keefox/ After the 30th of June 2011 versions of KeeFox previously ... [More] downloaded from this website will cease to function so you will need to install the version from the Firefox add-ons directory sometime in the next month. This expiry time is simply to ensure that no-one gets stuck using potentially insecure old versions of KeeFox; all future updates will be delivered automatically in the same way as most Firefox add-ons you have installed (so a fixed expiry time is no longer required). Version 0.8.20 is currently available and can be installed from the Mozilla add-ons website even if you have already installed version 0.8.20 from this website. Since future updates will be installed automatically it shouldn’t make a big difference whether you install KeeFox from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keefox/ now or when the next update is announced. Note that this does not change the beta status of KeeFox. I still think it is nearly ready for an official “1.0” release and the Mozilla add-ons review team think that it is “good enough” to be included in the official directory but there is still work to be done, especially with respect to documentation.

The interactive tutorial at http://tutorial.keefox.org has been upgraded. Please complete it if you’re unsure about any KeeFox features, particularly before asking for help in the forum. These are the main improvements since the initial tutorial was ... [More] launched: Added some troubleshooting tips on the first page Created a demonstration of customising KeeFox auto-fill and auto-submit behaviour per entry Added an example of recording a non-text field (specifically, a radio button) Uploaded some new and updated screenshots The last two steps have been marked as “advanced” - they are still useful for some people but probably not as important as the first 4 steps. Streamlined the path through the 6 steps Clearer form layouts Please use KeeFox version 0.8.20 or higher to complete the tutorial. Earlier ones will probably work but that’s not been tested. [Less]

Version 0.8.20 has just been released - download it now. There may still be a few bugs here and there but I think the long list of improvements since version 0.8.10 warrants a release now. There have been over 15 bug fixes along with some new ... [More] features, the most notable being: Several username/password field matching improvements HTTP Auth dialogs now prompt to save password All feedback is welcome, as always. Please submit support or bug requests to the forum: http://keefox.org/help/forum [Less]

0.8.19 was released shortly after 0.8.17 in order to fix a few bugs that crept into version 0.8.17. All experimental users should upgrade to this new version. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Another release candidate candidate is available for download. This version now works with websites that have HTML5 form elements, has more accurate HTTP Auth dialog entry matching, handles protected password fields correctly and works with password ... [More] database paths that contain Unicode characters. Please could all experimental version users upgrade to this version because: 1) You might not know if your form filling accuracy is affected by some of the bugs fixed in 0.8.17 2) It will help give me confidence to release 0.8.17 to the wider group of KeeFox users and stop having to write “release candidate candidate” Please let me know what you think of the latest version!

A new experimental version is available at http://keefox.org/download/experimental-version. There are a couple of important bug fixes including one where some other parts of Firefox stopped working when KeeFox was installed so I recommend all users ... [More] of 0.8.12-14 should upgrade. Users of 0.8.10 should not be affected by this bug. The other improvements since 0.8.12 are: Improved password field matching HTTP Auth dialogs now respect global and site-specific “offer to save passwords” settings [Less]

This new version is a release candidate candidate. Please help to test it so that I do not have to say that too many times! KeeFox is now “feature complete” as far as version 1.0 is concerned - there are still many features I want to add later in ... [More] the year but for the next few months I will be concentrating on fixing bugs and ensuring that the documentation and help resources are up to scratch before the release of version 1.0. There may still be the occasional new feature but only if it’s a low-risk with a high benefit to the “average” user. Further details on future releases with new features will follow in the coming months but in the mean time please help me test this version so that I can have confidence in its suitability for a final release and hence get started on the “post 1.0” feature requests as soon as possible. Key changes in this release (since 0.8.10) are: HTTP Auth dialogs now prompt to save passwords A few other HTTP Auth dialog improvements Setup process displays a warning to close KeePass if an existing KeePass installation is detected on the PC A few improvements to the insert process of KeeFox sample entries Improvements to the detection of which form fields should be filled in with which bits of KeePass data Fixed: older “Alternative URLs” did not always appear in the “URLs” tab in the “edit entry” KeePass entry tab Improvement to detection of matching entries: hostname matching is now case-insensitive [Less]
