the database can now be undone and redone, as long as the database is
open. This is similar to the undo/redo feature available in most word
processors, and is activated the same way (Ctrl-Z for undo, Ctrl-Y for
redo, or via the Edit menu).
[] New Synchronize feature (subset of the current Merge function) to
allow changes in the fields of entries of two databases to be
synchronised.  Entries with identical Group names, Titles and User

mode i.e. Synchronisation is uni-directional and only entries in the
currently open database can be modified.
