    Changes from 2.53.1 to 2.54:

    New Features:

    • Triggers, global URL overrides, password generator profiles and a few more settings are now stored in the enforced configuration file.
    • Added dialog 'Enforce Options (All Users)' (menu 'Tools' → 'Advanced Tools' → 'Enforce Options'), which facilitates storing certain options in the enforced configuration file.
    • Export confirmation dialog banners now have a yellow-orange background.
    • In export confirmation dialogs, the text of the 'OK' button is now changed to 'Confirm Export'.
    • In report dialogs, passwords (and other sensitive data) are now hidden using asterisks by default (if hiding is activated in the main window); the hiding can be toggled using the new '***' button in the toolbar.
    • The 'Print' command in most report dialogs now requires the 'Print' application policy flag, and the master key must be entered if the 'Print - No Key Repeat' application policy flag is deactivated.
    • The 'Export' command in most report dialogs now requires the 'Export' application policy flag, and the master key must be entered.
    • Single line edit dialogs now support hiding the value using asterisks.
    • On Unix-like systems, commands that require elevation now have a shield icon (like on Windows).
    • TrlUtil: added 'Move Selected Unused Text to Dialog Control' command.

    Improvements:

    • Improved process memory protection of secure edit controls (CVE-2023-32784).
    • The content mode of the configuration elements '/Configuration/Application/TriggerSystem', '/Configuration/Integration/UrlSchemeOverrides' and '/Configuration/PasswordGenerator/UserProfiles' is now 'Replace' by default.
    • The built-in override for the 'ssh' URI scheme is now deactivated by default (it can be activated in the 'URL Overrides' dialog).
    • When opening the password generator dialog without a derived profile, the '(Automatically generated passwords for new entries)' profile is now selected by default, if profiles are enabled (otherwise the default profile is used).
    • Improved UI update performance in the password generator dialog.
    • Improved and renamed dialog banner styles.
    • The separator line of light dialog banners is gray now.
    • Improved serialization/deserialization of custom configuration settings (used by plugins).
    • Improved reporting of unknown database header fields.
    • On Unix-like systems, the clipboard workarounds are now disabled by default (they are not needed anymore on most systems).
    • Improved clipboard clearing on Unix-like systems.
    • Improved starting of an elevated process on Unix-like systems.
    • TrlUtil: improved keyboard shortcut assignment and toolbar construction.
    • Installer: the desktop shortcut is now created for all users (if the option 'Create a desktop shortcut' is activated).
    • Installer: removed the Quick Launch shortcut option.
    • Upgraded installer.
    • Various UI text improvements.
    • Various code optimizations.
    • Minor other improvements.

    Bugfixes:

    • In report dialogs, the 'Print' and 'Export' commands now always use the actual data (in previous versions, asterisks were printed/exported when the application policy flag 'Unhide Passwords' was turned off).
    • The icon of the custom algorithm options button in the password generator dialog is not cut off anymore.
