Password Corral Changelog

What's new in Password Corral 4.0.6.158

Jan 5, 2015
  • The auto-export feature now exports using the same file name as the user account that is logged in, instead of the last used auto-export file name. File names are no longer stored as part of the auto-export path.
  • The Search Text field is now cleared in the Find dialog box when switching between user accounts.
  • The New Password and Modify Password dialog boxes are now wider and taller.
  • The password expiration fields now allow for 4 digit numbers instead of 3 digit numbers.

New in Password Corral 4.0.4.154 (Feb 2, 2010)

  • A New plain text CSV export option has been added. Note that you CANNOT import a CSV file back into Password Corral. You must still use one of the encrypted export options if you plan on importing the data back into Password Corral.

New in Password Corral 4.0.3.149 (Feb 2, 2010)

  • When importing and selecting the option to replace your entire password list with the import file data, Password Corral would reject the master password used to create the import file as incorrect, but accept the current master password for the import. This would result in corruption of all data being imported unless the current master password was the same as the master password used to create the import file. This bug has been fixed.

New in Password Corral 4.0.0.142 (Feb 2, 2010)

  • Ground-up recode - this major release was started from scratch.
  • Data storage moved to the file system instead of the Windows
  • registry. All program options and user preferences are now stored in
  • an INI file in the program directory. The registry is no longer used
  • by Password Corral.
  • Passwords are now stored in custom groups you create. Groups can
  • have any name and may be nested within one another.
  • Blowfish encryption is now available in addition to Diamond2.
  • A Find feature is now available to let you search your password list
  • for text that you specify.
  • Password Corral now includes a random password generator.
  • Passwords now include a URL and e-mail field, both of which can be
  • launched from the toolbar.
  • A new Lock Account feature has been added that replaces the old 3.0
  • option to require master password entry before changing options.
  • Printing has been enhanced to allow you to print just the selected
  • passwords, all passwords in the selected group, or your entire
  • password list.
  • The password expiration warning box has been enhanced to allow you
  • to change the passwords immediately instead of from the main
  • interface window.

New in Password Corral 3.4.1.75 (Feb 2, 2010)

  • You can now set Password Corral to time out to the system tray
  • after a given period of time. With the tray password protection
  • feature enabled, this will give you added protection if you should
  • forget that Password Corral is running and walk away from your PC.
  • Gridlines in the main password window are now turned on by default
  • for new user accounts.
  • Note fields on both the New Password and Edit Password dialogs have
  • been expanded slightly to display a full five lines of text.
  • The new feature introduced in v3.4.0.56 to check the Internet for a
  • more recent version of Password Corral had a bug which would
  • prevent Windows 2000 (and possibly Win9x) from shutting down if
  • Password Corral was running. This is a bug in a component in the
  • compiler, and unfortunately it can't be solved by us. The feature
  • was removed and we hope to bring it back in the near future when it
  • can be made to work properly.
  • There were some serious display problems with new code introduced
  • in v3.4.0.56 to underline and activate FILE:// hyperlinks in the
  • Notes field that used long filenames. As a result this code has
  • been removed. The problem is being looked at, but in the meantime
  • FILE:// links with long filenames are no longer supported at this
  • time. When it rains, it pours! Sorry for the inconvenience.
  • If the "Remember last used username when logging on" feature was
  • disabled, the cursor would appear in the password text box at logon
  • instead of the username text box. This bug has been fixed.
  • The bug mentioned in the README.TXT file that, under certain
  • circumstances, could prevent Password Corral from being minimized,
  • has been fixed.
  • Updated on-line and What's This help.
  • Minor update to the README.TXT file.

New in Password Corral 3.3.0.41 (Feb 2, 2010)

  • Password Corral can now be minimized to the system tray. New
  • options have been provided to require entry of your master password
  • before the program can be "restored" for normal use.
  • Hyperlinks in the Notes field are now "clickable", and will start
  • the default browser on your system. Works for any text that starts
  • with "http", "www" or "ftp". You can also right-click on any word
  • and choose to launch it in the Web browser - great for links that
  • don't start with the more common prefixes.
  • You can now paste text on the Windows clipboard as a new password
  • into Password Corral. A new paste menu item and toolbar button have
  • been added.
  • There is a new menu item in the Edit menu to immediately clear the
  • Windows clipboard.
  • The selected password now remains highlighted even after clicking
  • in the Notes field.
  • If AutoExport was enabled, and there were no passwords in the
  • password list, Password Corral would display the progress bar and
  • freeze when exiting. This bug has been fixed.
  • The cowboy is back on the logon screen!
  • Updated README.TXT file.
  • Updated on-line and What's This help.

New in Password Corral 3.2.0.21 (Feb 2, 2010)

  • password, or a new view called "List" which only displays the
  • description (double-click to see the information).
  • Added a "Fonts" tab to the Options dialog box.
  • You can now select a custom font for both the password list and the
  • comments box.
  • You can now set Password Corral to remember the last used username

  • in the Options dialog.
  • The "Delete All" button has been removed from the toolbar. It can
  • still be accessed from the Edit menu.
  • When selecting "Delete All" from the Edit menu, the warning dialog
  • box now has the "No" button selected by default.
  • A "New User" button has been added to the plain logon dialog box.
  • Right-clicking on a different password from a previously selected
  • one in the password list would fail to update the "Comments" field.
  • This bug has been fixed.
  • The TAB order was out of sequence for the 'Security' tab in the
  • Options dialog box. This bug has been fixed.

New in Password Corral 3.0.0.12 (Feb 2, 2010)

  • Description and Comments information is now encrypted along with
  • your username and password data. Upon starting this new version,
  • Password Corral will update your existing password info by

  • copy password or username information to the clipboard.
  • New 'Security' tab added to the Options dialog box.

  • text when toggling the 'Show Passwords' option. This will allow you
  • to keep Password Corral running when you're away from your
  • computer, and still maintain security of your information.
  • Options in the 'Security' tab allow you to view description and
  • comment information in plain text, even when the 'Show Passwords'
  • option is toggled off.

  • in the main menu.
  • The Auto-Export Path now defaults to "PASSWORDS.TXT" instead of
  • "PASSWORD.TXT".
  • Minor changes to the logon screen.
  • When the PC running Password Corral was set to use large system
  • fonts, the Options dialog would resize itself incorrectly when
  • displayed, covering up the 'Done' and 'Cancel' buttons, as well as
  • the path-browse button for the Auto Export feature. This bug has
  • been fixed. See BUGS.TXT for more information.
  • Clicking or right-clicking on open space in the password list,
  • after first having clicked on a password in the list, would leave
  • the cut, copy and delete toolbar buttons enabled. If they were then
  • used without a password being selected an error would occur. This
  • bug has been fixed.
  • When focus was on the Comments field on the main password window,
  • whether text in the Comments box was selected or not, the Cut and
  • Delete toolbar buttons would remain enabled. This bug has been
  • fixed.
  • Changes to the README.TXT file.
  • Updated on-line and What's This help.

  • Uninstalling Password Corral will now remove all existing user
  • accounts and password lists from the registry.

  • the password list would allow you to select a new password, but

  • has been fixed.
  • Selecting the File menu when there were no passwords in the
  • password list left the "Import Passwords" item grayed out and
