Accounts are automatically selected after adding, editing, or deleting on PC. If you open a PC-only database that doesn't exist, it is removed from the dropdown list. Improved logging during HotSync. Added Troubleshooting section to documenation. Expanded FAQ section in documentation. January 13, 2002 Version 4.0.5 released! Several bug fixes.

Improved error messages during HotSync to indicate that you should run CryptInfo on the Palm and then HotSync again. Fixed a bug when creating the database on PalmOS 4.1.

January 6, 2002 Version 4.0 released! CryptInfo 4.0 was released!  New PC Version!! Allows full two-way synchronization to the desktop. Allows creation of standalone database for use only on the PC. Supports multiple databases by separate Palm users. Palm Changes: When running CryptInfo 4.0 with a 3.X database, it will upgrade the database to 4.0 by adding digests to each record. This could take several minutes, so a Please Wait dialog is shown. Digests on each record help detect tampering or database corruption. Sped up redrawing of record list. Modifying and deleting a record is now done in a way to allow HotSync to work more efficiently. When you run CryptInfo for the first time after performing a HotSync, any records that are new or were modified will be re-sorted. Eliminated maximum label size. Labels that are too long are shown with an ellipsis while editing and are wrapped onto multiple lines while viewing. Can now display records with up to 800 lines of data instead of 80. Added a "please wait" dialog when changing passphrase. Version number and registration status now displayed on password screen. Added a Cancel button when creating a new record or editing an existing record. Changed the hidden passphrase character to 'x' instead of the extended x-like character. The extended character was causing problems on Sony Clie devices and on international devices. Fixed a bug that could cause edits to get lost if the idle timer expires while editing a record, and then you quit CryptInfo. Fixed a bug where jumping to a record didn't work if you had over 256 records. Minor bug fixes. February 21, 2001 Version 3.1 released! CryptInfo 3.1 was released! 3.1 fixes several bugs. Here's a summary of what's changed: Migrated from gcc to Metrowerks CodeWarrior compiler. Fixed a bug that scrolled the list inappropriately after adding a record. Fixed a bug where the Quick Jump feature did not work reliably. Fixed a bug where we weren't scrolling through the records in the correct category. We now scroll through the records from the main category and not the category of the current record. Fixed a bug where using the next field and previous field graffiti codes caused the screen to not be positioned correctly while editing a record. Fixed a bug that allowed importing records without a Title. If you leave CryptInfo while editing a record, your changes are now saved. Added color and gray scale large and small icons. February 19, 2000 Version 3.0 released! CryptInfo 3.0 was released! 3.0 adds stronger encryption and easier data entry, among numerous other additions and bug fixes! Here's a summary of the new features: New Features Records are now encrypted with 168-bit 3DES encryption! Much stronger than the previous encryption! Created an add-on upgrade utility (CryptUpgrade) so that CryptInfo can be smaller. Please read the upgrade instructions! CryptUpgrade will upgrade a PassMan application even if the PassMan application does not exist. Data entry screen vastly improved. It will now resize lines when necessary and scroll if there is too much to fit on one screen. It now works very similarly to built-in Palm apps. Changed the icon Changed the * character on the password entry screen to a smaller *. Expanded the size of the passphrase entry to accomodate up to 128 character passphrases. Although longer passphrases are difficult to enter, they're more secure... Changed the layout of the change password screen. Expanded length of password entry fields and added a 'Cancel' button. Added support for different fonts when listing, viewing, and editing data. Look in the preferences screen. Font support while editing only works for the labels (not the text edit field) on PalmOS 2.0. Also, the largest font is not available on PalmOS 2.0. When creating a custom label, the text defaults to the existing label's name. When doing an import, you can now specify a category for the records to be placed in. Bug Fixes The Palm software keyboard is now allowed when entering a password as long as the "Hide Password" checkbox is not checked. (1/2/00) Pressing the hardware up and down keys will now cycle through records in the current category when viewing a record. Improved compatibility with third-party keyboards and graffiti enhancers (specifically LookDA/eLook) when entering the password. CryptInfo disables eLook when entering a hidden password. Fixed a bug when entering an empty label. Improved handling of long category names. Changed the order of the buttons on the view screen. The "Copy" or "Paste" notice now disappears after a few seconds, like it's supposed to. CryptInfo now refuses to run on PalmOS 1.0. PalmOS 1.0 was never supported.

Many users sent feedback to me, and I incorporated as much of their ideas as possible. Here's a summary of the changes: Tapping anywhere on the View screen now brings you to the edit screen. Added Edit menu with Cut, Copy, and Paste. Now you can share information between applications! Added Custom labels. Now you can use your own label names! Added Undo feature (Edit menu) for editing text fields Added Enlarge feature (Edit menu) for editing text fields that don't fit in their allocated space Typing past a text field's size limit automatically activates the Enlarge feature. The first data item (usually "Login") for each record is now displayed on the main list view. Rewrote the display screen to perform word wrapping on all of the fields. This screen is also now scrollable. March 23, 1999 Version 1.0.1 released! Whoops! Version 1.0 had a problem on anything besides the Palm III.
