Release notes

New Features:
- Added option 'Prevent certain screen captures' (in 'Tools' → 'Options' → tab 'Security', turned off by default); note that this may also prevent legitimate other software (remote desktop solutions, accessibility tools such as screen magnifiers, etc.) from seeing KeePass windows.
- Added the new option 'Prevent certain screen captures' in the 'Enforce Options (All Users)' dialog (in 'Tools' → 'Advanced Tools' → 'Enforce Options').
- Key files can be created on the secure desktop now.
- Added shortcut keys for the 'Copy Group (Encrypted)' (Ctrl+Shift+C) and 'Paste Group' (Ctrl+Shift+V) commands.
- Ctrl+Shift+V can now be used for pasting entries while the group tree has the input focus and vice versa.
- Added 'More' button in the icon picker dialog, which shows a menu that provides two commands: 'Rename' and 'Export'; the menu is also shown as context menu of the custom icons list.
- When importing an icon, the file name without extension is now used as icon name.
- Added option 'Remember password hiding setting' in the main window column configuration dialog (turned off by default).
- Added support for long paths when running on .NET 4.6.2 or higher.
- Some error messages now contain the type and the HResult of the exception that occured.
- Some error messages are now more detailed when running KeePass with the '-debug' command line option.
- Bitwarden JSON import: two-digit years are now converted to four-digit years.
- Added UIFlags bit for automatically adjusting weak key transformation settings to the current default values (without a confirmation dialog).
- Added DPI detection on Unix-like systems.
- For applications using KeePass as a library: added a new common initialization method ('CommonInitialize') that allows a custom error handling/reporting.
Improvements:
- Databases are now always saved in the KDBX 4/4.1 file format; if you need a KDBX 3.1 file (e.g. for compatibility with an old app), perform an export: main menu 'File' → 'Export' → format 'KeePass KDBX (2.34, Old Format)'.
- Auto-Type: improved compatibility with Remote Desktop Client (WSL).
- In an auto-type error dialog, the sequence is now only displayed if KeePass has been started with the '-debug' command line option.
- Increased maximum length of the main window title.
- Improved handling of shortcut keys in the main window.
- Improved entry data exchange menu update performance.
- After moving a group, KeePass now ensures that the group is visible.
- Improved database save confirmation dialog text.
- When showing the master key creation/change dialog on the secure desktop, trying to perform an operation that is not supported on the secure desktop now results in a simple error message, i.e. it is not possible anymore to choose to cancel the dialog and perform the operation on the normal desktop; this avoids certain accidental data loss scenarios.
- Various improvements in the simple file browser dialog (for the secure desktop).
- While a hot key control of the options dialog is focused, dialog-specific keyboard shortcuts are now disabled.
- Changed the 'MAC Address' password generator profile such that it always generates a unicast, locally administered MAC address in the SLAP administratively assigned quadrant.
- In the icon picker dialog: moved the 'Export' command into the 'More'/context menu of the custom icons list.
- When running on .NET 4.7 or higher, KeePass now supports all TLS/SSL protocol versions that are supported/enabled by the framework/system.
- Improved error messages for exception chains.
- Improved serialization, deserialization and conversion of nullable booleans.
- Improved deserialization of variant dictionaries.
- Improved application context initialization.
- Improved termination of the program in case of a fatal exception.
- Various UI text improvements.
- Various code optimizations.
- Minor other improvements.
Bugfixes:
- (None).
