displayed when Password Safe is initially started and when there's no open database
has been removed. The standard PasswordSafe brown icon will be used.
[] Use the Add/Edit font in preference to the Tree/List font outside
the actual Tree/List views (since the Tree/List fonts may be too large).

New Features for 3.44.0
=======================
[] When exporting a group or the results of a filter, if any additional entries have
been exported (e.g. base entries of aliases or shortcuts already exported),
they will be noted in the Export report.
[844] The default font for the password field is now 12pt Consolas.
[843] The default font for Tree/List views, Add/Edit fields and an
entry's Notes is now 10pt Segoe UI.
[842] A new symbol (paperclip - Unicode U+01F4CE) to indicate that an entry has
an attachment (V4 databases only) has been implemented but, if the currently
selected Tree/List font does not support it and the user is not running
Windows 10, then the old symbol ('+') will be used.
[841] Close/exit is now allowed via System Tray icon when the database is open in read-only mode.
[839] The list of expired entries now shows protected entries in
italics, indicating that they must be unprotected before they can be
updated.

Manage->Options->Display.

Bugs fixed in 3.43.0
====================

"Save database immediately after any change" is disabled.
[1403] Help has been updated to document that an entry's Notes field has a
size limit of 30,000 characters.
[1402] Group image is now correct after dragging an empty sub-group to the next
higher level.

selected. If not present, then the previous entry (if present) will be selected.

[1399] A disabled image is now shown when no characters to copy are available.
This has also been implemented wherever the "Copy Password" button is used outside
the Toolbar.

new PasswordSafe database.
[832] If many databases are open at the same time, after opening a database, the user
can specify a database ID (1-99) that will be superimposed on the System Tray icon
to aid identification. In addition, the System Tray icon tooltip has been enhanced
to show more of the database name.
[833] Right-clicking on a base entry now allows you to select any one
of its dependants, i.e. alias or shortcut.
[834] We've added the option of displaying the safe combination when
entering during database creation, opening and change of combination.

and not just after an edit or addition of an entry. It is STRONGLY recommended
that, if enabled, then the option to "Create intermediate backups" is also
enabled. Note, changes made via the Compare database results dialog will not
cause a database save for each action but will after the compare results dialog
has been closed.
[] The last sort direction in List View (ascending or descending) on closing
a database is now stored in the application configuration file and is no longer
stored in the database header.

now no longer includes any trailing spaces.  This is different to the
standard Microsoft processing in their products.
