# New Features:

  * Added powerful [trigger system](http://keepass.info/help/v2/triggers.html) (when events occur, check some conditions and execute a list of actions; see options dialog in 'Advanced'; more events / conditions / actions can be added later based on user requests, and can also be provided by plugins).
  * Native master key transformations (rounds) are now computed by the native KeePassLibC support library (which contains the new, highly optimized transformation code used by KeePass 1.15, in two threads); on dual/multi core processors this results in almost triple the performance as before (by tripling the amount of rounds you'll get the same waiting time as in 2.06, but the [protection against dictionary and guessing attacks](http://keepass.info/help/base/security.html#secdictprotect) is tripled).
  * Added recycle bin (enabled by default, it can be disabled in the database settings dialog).
  * Added Salsa20 stream cipher for `CryptoRandomStream` (this algorithm is not only more secure than ArcFour, but also achieves a higher performance; CryptoRandomStream defaults to Salsa20 now; port developers: KeePass uses Salsa20 for the inner random stream in KDBX files).
  * KeePass is now storing file paths (last used file, MRU list) in relative form in the [configuration](http://keepass.info/help/base/configuration.html) file.
  * Added support for importing 1Password Pro CSV files.
  * Added support for importing KeePass 1.x XML files.
  * Windows XP and higher: added support for double-buffering in all list views (including entry lists).
  * Windows Vista and higher: added support for alpha-blended marquee selection in all list views (including entry lists).
  * Added '`EditEntry`', '`DeleteEntry`', '`AddEntries`' and '`DeleteAllEntries`' commands in [KPScript](http://keepass.info/help/v2_dev/scr_index.html) scripting tool.
  * Added support for importing special ICO files.
  * Added option to exit instead of locking the workspace after the specified time of inactivity.
  * Added option to minimize the main window after locking the KeePass workspace.
  * Added option to minimize the main window after opening a database.
  * Added support for exporting to KDBX files.
  * Added command to remove deleted objects information.
  * TrlUtil now checks for duplicate accelerator keys in dialogs.
  * Added controls in the entry editing dialog to specify a custom text foreground color for entries.
  * KeePass now retrieves the default auto-type sequence from parent groups when adding new entries.
  * The password character picking dialog can now be invoked multiple times when auto-typing (use `{PICKPASSWORDCHARS}`, `{PICKPASSWORDCHARS2}`, `{PICKPASSWORDCHARS3}`, etc.).
  * Added '`-set-urloverride`', '`-clear-urloverride`' and '`-get-urloverride`' [command line](http://keepass.info/help/base/cmdline.html) options.
  * Added '`-set-translation`' command line option.
  * Added option to print custom string fields in details mode.
  * Various entry listings now support custom foreground and background colors for entry items.
  * Added 'click through' behavior for menus and toolbars.
  * File association methods are now UAC aware.
