Changes from 1.08 to 1.09:

New Features:

• Added option to permute passwords generated using a pattern (this allows generating passwords that follow complex rules).
• Added ability to specify custom character sets in password generation patterns.
• Implemented new URL opening method (as workaround for buggy Firefox file handler registration on some systems).
• Documents can now be opened using cmd:// URLs (shell execute).
• Added support for CF_CLIPBOARD_VIEWER_IGNORE clipboard format (clipboard viewers/extenders compliant with this format ignore data copied by KeePass).
• Improved window position/size/state handling (added support for Win+M / \'Show Desktop\' command, window managers, ...).
• Improved window positioning (PX=0/PY=0 works now).
• Added -readonly command line switch; if present, the database will be opened in read-only mode.
• Added ability to specify the characters a TAN can consist of.

• Added support for toggling items in option lists by pressing the Spacebar key.
• Installer can now associate .kdb files with KeePass.
• The password generator now remembers the last used settings (even if they are not saved manually as a profile).
• Network administrators: cascading configuration model now uses a separate enforced configuration file.
• Improved configuration saving/loading (improved behavior under Windows Vista when using the installer, improved out of the box support for installation by admin / usage by user, better limited user account handling, ...).
• Added pattern placeholder \'S\' to generate printable 7-bit ASCII characters.
• Added pattern placeholder \'b\' to generate brackets.
• Added quick key file accessibility test in the password dialog (shows helpful system message on error).
• Temporary files are now named randomly.
