Patra Description

Free and open source password tracker Patra is an application that will help you keep your passwords in an encrypted file on disk, protected by a pass phrase so that they are safe. Even if the file containing your passwords falls in the wrong hands, the pass phrase is needed to decrypt it. The application uses the unpatented Blowfish encryption algorithm which was invented by Bruce Schneier. The encryption is reasonably safe. The application is based on the Password Safe application from Bruce Schneier, it aims to be compatible with it. What's New in This Release: Functional changes: · The right-click-option menu now contains a list of URL’s that are scraped from the notes. This makes it easy for the user to quickly go to the associated website. · A ?stay on top” option was added, this keeps the password tracker on top of the window stack. If enabled, the user does not have to go hunting for the password tracker window during a uid-copy-paste pwd-copy-paste sequence. · The searchpattern will hilight parts of the entries in the table, so you can see immediately why where exactly the entry matches the search string. Cosmetic changes: · The old-fashioned Sun icon set was replaced by a new one. · The password tracker logo was improved, the looks of the application as well. · The graphics in the embedded help are improved, they were ugly, I tried to remedy this. · A list of shortcuts was added to the help files. · The new features are documented. Packaging changes: · Install4J has become too expensive for me to use it to create the installers. The previous version of Install4J does not create installers that work well under Windows Vista. The Install4J does not offer enough additional value anymore. Therefore I changed the packaging policy of the application. · I will distribute the password tracker application in three versions: The first one will be a simple, runnable jar. A knowledgeable user can download this jar, make sure there is a JVM and run the jar. This will be the cross-platform version of the application. · The second package will be a windows installer and executable, windows-only. The functionality will be the same on all platforms. · The third one will be an OSX specific installer. Bug fixes: · The -A was assigned to two actions, namely ?save as” and ?add new entry”. This was remedied by assigning a new -E to the latter action.
