# New Features:

  * Added option to use file transactions when writing databases (enabled by default; writing to a temporary file and replacing the actual file afterwards avoids data loss when KeePass is prevented from saving the database completely).

  * Enhanced database synchronization by structure merging (relocation/moving and reordering groups and entries).

  * Synchronization / import: added merging of entry histories.
  * Synchronization / import: backups of current entries are created automatically, if their data would be lost in the merging process.
  * Database name, description, default user name, entry templates group and the recycle bin settings are now synchronized.
  * Added `[{NEWPASSWORD}`](http://keepass.info/help/base/placeholders.html#newpassword) placeholder, which generates a new password for the current entry, based on the "Automatically generated passwords for new entries" [generator profile](http://keepass.info/help/base/pwgenerator.html#profiles); this placeholder is replaced once in an auto-type process, i.e. for a typical 'Old Password'-'New Password'-'Repeat New Password' dialog you can use `{PASSWORD}{TAB}{NEWPASSWORD}{TAB}{NEWPASSWORD}{ENTER}`.
  * Added scheme-specific URL overrides (this way you can for example tell KeePass to open all http- and https-URLs with Firefox or Opera instead of the system default browser; PuTTY is set as handler for ssh-URLs by default; see Options -> Integration).
  * Added option to drop to the background when copying data to the clipboard.
  * Added option to use alternating item background colors in the main entry list (option enabled by default).
  * The Ctrl+E shortcut key now jumps to the quick search box.

  * File transactions are used when writing configuration files.
  * [KPScript](http://keepass.info/help/v2_dev/scr_index.html): added 'ChangeMasterKey' command.
  * ShInstUtil: added check for the presence of .NET.
  * TrlUtil: added command under 'Import' that loads 2.x LNGX files without checking base hashes.
  * TrlUtil: added control docking support.
  * Plugin developers: added static window addition and removal events to the `GlobalWindowManager` class.
  * Plugin developers: added ability to write custom dialog banner generators (`CustomGenerator` of `BannerFactory`).
  * Plugin developers: the `IOConnectionInfo` of the database is now accessible through the key provider query context.

  * Plugin developers: added `UIStateUpdated` main window event.

  * 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).
