Oubliette Changelog

What's new in Oubliette 1.9.5.159

Apr 13, 2011
  • Fixed a bug which prevented Oubliette from opening .OUB files in some circumstances. I don't quite understand what caused the bug, except that SHGetFileInfo API function doesn't seem to work as documented on every version of Windows.
  • Updated German translation.

New in Oubliette 1.9.4 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • Fixed a bug where Oubliette would start "invisible" on Windows XP. Because I do not have Windows XP, I could neither verify the bug, nor test the fix. It should work, but if the problem persists, please let me know.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented Oubliette from opening files passed through the command line.
  • Oubliette should now correctly associates the .OUB extension with itself. If you do not want this to happens automatically, edit the AutoRegisterFileType setting in oubliette.ini. You can also force Oubliette to rebuild the file type association by starting Oubliette with the -reg command line switch.
  • Added support for Opera 7 (Search|Find by Browser Location command).

New in Oubliette 1.9.2 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • Added French language pack.
  • Fixed a bug that would prevent Oubliette from successfully finding text that has been found previously using the Find (Ctrl+F ) function.
  • Fixed a bug with screen refresh after deleting an account.

New in Oubliette 1.9 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • This version is identical to 1.8, except that it has built-in support for translations into other languages. Two sample language packs are distributed with Oubliette: US English and Polish. For details on using language packs and making your own translations, please see the file "language packs.txt" in subfolder "Locale". For more information, please see the Localization forum. More language packs will be made available as soon as I receive translations. The latest language pack will be available at http://www.tranglos.com/free/files/oub_langpack.zip.

New in Oubliette 1.8 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • Added QuickFind toolbar.
  • All toolbars can now be repositioned or hidden.
  • F3 key behavior changed: it still repeats the last search as before, but takes into account the last type of search performed. That it, whether you used the Find dialog box (Ctrl+F) or the QuickFind toolbar, you can repeat the last search by pressing F3.
  • The Find dialog box now maintains a history of search patterns. However, this is a potential security problem (e.g. if you happen to search for passwords), so the history is automatically cleared when Oubliette exits, unless you manually override this in the configuration file (see below)
  • Fixed access violation error in the Browse accounts dialog box.
  • Fixed the semicolon bug in the CSV import procedure.
  • In the Encrypt file dialog box, added an option to delete the original file after successful encryption. A simple delete is used - this is NOT secure file wiping.
  • New configuration option in the INI file (not settable through the main Options dialog box):
  • PASSWINONTOP : keeps the file password dialog box on top of all other windows. (Default: YES)
  • HISTORYCLEARONEXIT : clears searcthe history of search patterns when Oubliette quits. (Default: YES)
  • HISTORYCOUNT : the number of search history patterns to maintain. (Default: 16)
  • Several minor or cosmetic bugs fixed.
  • Some dialog boxes have been redesigned, more of this to come.
  • Oubliette is now ready for translation. This version 1.8 does not allow this yet, but a separate version (1.9) will be released very soon, which can be translated. More information will be forthcoming.

New in Oubliette 1.7 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • The memo has been replaced with an RTF editor working in plain-text mode. (Formatted text will be supported eventually, but not in this version). Hyperlinks in memos are now highlighted and clickable.
  • Several sorting methods added: accounts can be sorted by name, username, date created, expiry date, or category (see sort commands under the View menu).
  • Oubliette now allows more than one account to have the same name (previously, Oubliette enforced unique names). Accounts can now be renamed in the main "Edit Account" dialog box. Oubliette still emits a warning if a duplicate name is assigned, but permits the assignment.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented an account from being renamed if the new name differed only in letter case (e.g. renaming "foo" to "Foo" was not possible).
  • Maximized state of the main program window and the Browse dialog box is now preserved.
  • The Browser view now also displays category names.
  • The Browser view now displays accounts using the current filter.
  • Fixed problem with opening Oubliette files by double-clicking them when Oubliette was already running.

New in Oubliette 1.6.5 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • Added ability to import data from CSV files (a number of popular password managers can export data in CSV format, which allows you to transfer information from those programs to Oubliette). Please see the Help file for detailed information on importing data.
  • The Export feature was tweaked to emit correct CSV data so that Oubliette can import the files it has itself exported.
  • In the Edit Account dialog box, the F7 key toggles between showing the passphrase and obscuring it with asterisks. (For consistency with the main program window.)
  • Several minor corrections.

New in Oubliette 1.6 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • Help file is finally available. It is not complete, but it does document in detail all the new features mentioned below, as well as the functions of all menu commands and configuration options.
  • Added function to display the account whose URL matches the URL of the active web browser (F9). Note this will not work correctly if the browser has any modal dialog box open, including password prompts, since browsers do not return the location via DDE while they are in this state.
  • Added ability to fill in username/password in HTML forms in web browsers (activated by configurable hotkeys). The following browsers are supported: Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Netscape Navigator and Opera. Please see the new Help file for detailed information.
  • In the "Edit account" dialog box, press F9 to get the current URL from web browser.
  • The Access Passphrase dialog box now restores its last position.
  • The random passphrase generator has been moved to the Edit Account dialog box, so that all its options are accessible directly.
  • Optional "balloon alerts" for silent, non-intrusive notifications (Windows 2000/XP only)
  • Double-clicking on URL and Email fields launches the browser or email client, respectively. (If "Double click to copy" option is ON, must hold down Ctrl key while double-clicking to launch URL/Email instead of copying data.)
  • Double-clicking the first statusbar panel shows the "File information" dialog box; double-clicking panels 2 and 3 shows the "Change passphrase" dialog box; double-clicking other panels shows the "Edit account" dialog box.
  • Category name for the current account is now displayed in the main window.
  • You can now customize not only the names, but also the icons for all categories. Please see the Help file for detailed information. Note that if you change the standard icons, all category names and icons will be stored in the OUB file, in encrypted form.
  • Added "Filter by categories" button to the toolbar. (Amazing how many requests I've had for this simple thing!)
  • Automatic reopening a file that was previously auto-closed (e.g. on inactivity timeout) is now optional.
  • Fixed a possible problem with invalid filename on auto-reopen attempt.
  • Minor changes made to "File information" dialog box
  • The Options dialog box is now called Preferences and has been reorganized.

New in Oubliette 1.5.5 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • Drag-and-drop for all edit fields. Hold down the Shift key to begin dragging text. This method is an alternative to copying data to clipboard.
  • The "Copy" button on the toolbar, and the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut, now copy the text in whatever edit field is currently active. If no text is selected in the field, ALL of the field's text is copied to clipboard. If no field is currently active (focused), the Passphrase field is copied.
  • The "Copy" button on the toolbar now has a submenu of special copy-related commands, which can be used to copy specific fields, e.g. Username, Passphrase, both username and passphrase, URL, email, note, memo or all the fields together.
  • When all fields are copied ("Copy All" command, Ctrl+Y), each field is preceded by its name, eg. 'Username: John Doe".
  • several clipboard protection methods:
  • ALL fields, including Memo, are now protected (previously only the Passphrase and Memo fields were protected)
  • sets CF_CLIPBOARD_VIEWER_IGNORE flag on copy. The flag informs applications which may be monitoring clipboard that they should ignore this piece of data and not intercept it.
  • Optionally break clipboard chain to prevent clipboard extenders not-compliant with the above proposal from capturing copied data This is a rather aggressive tactics, but it is also quite effective. (Note: works ONLY if Oubliette was started AFTER the clipboard extender program.)
  • "Copy on double click" function is now optional.
  • Option to obscure the Username field with asterisks
  • The "Filter by categories" dialog box now uses checkboxes to select or deselect categories (instead of multiselection). The dialog box is now resizable and remembers its last size and position.
  • Clipboard is not automatically cleared if another application has modified clipboard contents after Oubliette copied data but before the predefined time elapsed. (That is, Oubliette only clears the text it has itself placed in clipboard, but does not accidentally erase data copied from another application.)
  • Activation hotkey (Shift+Ctrl+F6 by default) can now be disabled or changed without restarting Oubliette.
  • The "Notes" memo in Edit Account dialog box now has the same context menu as the memo in the main screen.
  • 5 new category icons added
  • "Edit Account" keyboard shortcut changed from Ctrl+F2 to F2.
  • Fixed control tab order in edit window.

New in Oubliette 1.5.2 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • Fixed a bug which caused Oubliette to fail to launch the correct browser if the browser path specified in Options contained spaces.
