Releases: kee-org/KeeFox
1.4.104a1
New feature since 1.4.103a1: Update existing password entries.
Experimental build to enable support for e10s (Firefox multi-process).
If you don't know what that means or whether you've got it enabled in your Firefox version, steer clear until we've got some more rough edges ironed out.
For those that do know the reason for this release, please be careful. I'm running it myself at the moment but am in a better place than most to be able to recover from any problems that occur from using this version. There are a few known bugs and missing features so this is not yet to the same quality as a beta release.
Keep lots of backup versions of your database, review or delete any persisted debug log files and be prepared for fundamental features to behave a little differently than in the previous version (hopefully mostly in a good way but that won't hold in 100% of cases).
Note that there may be a bug where downgrading to an earlier version of KeePassRPC causes duplicate UUIDs to be added to your KeePass database. They relate only to the KeeFox tutorial samples so the KeePass repair feature in v2.29 can't do any serious damage but it's something to be aware of. I'll try to understand the scope of this issue and address it before a beta release if appropriate.

For those that do know the reason for this release, please be careful. I'm running it myself at the moment but am in a better place than most to be able to recover from any problems that occur from using this version. There are known bugs and some fairly important features that are yet to be developed so this is not yet to the same quality as a beta release.

1.4.7
- Slovenian language added
- Performance change: You should upgrade to KeeFox 1.4.7 before upgrading Firefox to version 37, although many people will not notice a difference either way. More details are below.
Some complex changes to Firefox over the recent versions leading up to Firefox 37 will cause some aspects of KeeFox version 1.4.6 and older to be much slower for users with large password databases and/or slow computers.
This new version speeds things up (now faster than ever before) but it will be slightly slower for users of Firefox 36 and below. I recommend upgrading since it is unlikely you will notice the slow down but if your specific situation does result in worse performance, please just remember to upgrade KeeFox before you upgrade to Firefox 37.
Firefox 37 is due for release on the 7th of April 2015.
There are more technical details about the change here: #356
1.4.7 Beta 3
Since beta 2: Updated translations.
1.4.7 Beta 2
Since beta 1: Added Slovenian and Hindi locales, updated others; removed unused file from XPI package
1.4.7 Beta 1
Cryptography change: The previous AES encryption routines have been replaced with a newer approach based on the WebCrypto API. I've been forced into this change earlier than expected but there should be no notable change to the security of the communication between KeePass and Firefox, merely an implementation change. In fact, the functionality I am now using has only been available to Firefox addons for 2 weeks so this is very cutting edge stuff, hence why I want to call it out specifically to all technical followers and beta testers. I don't intend to announce this implementation change to all users, but I will note the impact on performance as per below. On the off-chance that I find enough time I might post about some of the technical details merely as an interesting guide for other developers - please shout if you're interested in that.
You can see the exact code changes in PR #362 - feel free to comment in there or in the associated issue #356
