 VisualHash 1.0 released
A new version of VisualHash has been released! The new version is developed in C#.NET (you need the .NET framework 1.1 or higher). VisualHash now supports many more algorithms than before: Adler-32, Cksum-32, CRC-16, CRC-16-CCITT, CRC-16-XModem, CRC-32, CRC-32-MPEG2, CRC-64, ELF-32, FCS-16, FNV-32, FNV-64, GOST, MD2, MD4, MD5, PJW-32, SDBM-32, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, Size-64, Sum-32 and XUM-32. The program is GPL-licensed and built with the SharpDevelop IDE.

You can get the new version from the Open-Source page.

The old version (1.3 for Windows), which doesn't require the .NET framework, is still available, too.

 KeeCryptLib 1.0 released
KeeCryptLib 1.0 has been released. With this library, you can securely encrypt and decrypt files. Its API is pretty easy to use and you are allowed to use this library in your project. Download it from the Open-Source page. And no, this library doesn't have anything to do with the KeePass Password Safe project.

 KeePass nearing the 1.0 release
About 1 year ago, I've posted that KeePass is spreading around the world. The whole last 12 months, KeePass was (and is) the primary project I'm working on. I've constantly released new versions with new features and bugfixes. Soon, you'll finally get the long-awaited 1.0 release. But no fear, the development won't stop here. Just see it as a stable milestone. Just for the fun of it, let's compare the projects full-time statistics of May 2004 (6 months lifetime, v0.94a) and 2005 (18 months lifetime, v0.99c):

Oh yes and not to mention, KeePass currently is in the top 10 of the most active projects at SourceForge.net :)

Here are some nice statistic charts, created by SourceForge.net (click to enlarge):

Update 2005-06-04: KeePass 1.0 has been released! Grab it while it's hot from http://keepass.info.

 Year 2005 updates
I have improved many of my programs from time to time over the last year, but for almost every program there were too few changes to justify a new release. Anyway, as I'm now primarily working on my KeePass Password Safe project and therefore don't have that much time for the other projects, I've repackaged and released them today.

 CSHA1 v1.4 released
The CSHA1 class has been updated to compile with GCC 3.3 under MacOS X (thanks to Larry Hastings).

Get the latest version here: CSHA1 download page.

 Print links
I've added "Print version" links to all articles. The print versions of the articles are exactly the same as the normal ones, just without the menus.

 KeePass is spreading around the world
At this point I want to thank all people who have and are spending their time translating, publishing and, of course, using KeePass. In only 6 months about 240.000 people have already visited the KeePass homepage, 30.000 official downloads, of course tendency growing! When searching for KeePass on Google, it already shows 18.400 results.

Many thanks go to the 10 translators who have spent hours translating the whole program. Special thanks to Doncho Angelov, who has written the official PocketPC port. Special thanks to Lubos Stanek, who has spend a lot of time helping me to improve the program, especially the language handling.

Update 2008-04-08: The latest version of the PocketPC edition is available here: KeePass for Smart Devices.

 New homepage
Finally I got a new homepage! www.dominik-reichl.de (where you are now) will hopefully my permanent home from on now...

The site is hosted by domainfactory.de. Up to now I can only recommend this hoster: excellent service (you even get an answer on sunday within a few minutes), simple registration, some nice features (SSI, etc.) and really good site access times. Keep up the good work!

 New project: KeePass 0.84 released!
Have a look at my latest project: KeePass Password Safe.

KeePass is a free, open-source, light-weight and easy-to-use password safe for Windows.

Links: features, screenshots, download, translations.

 GdSim Iterated Prisoners Dilemma Simulator released!
GdSim is a free iterated prisoners dilemma simulator. Develop your own strategies, compile them to DLLs and test it!

To create a new strategy you have to make a DLL which exports several functions. The sample strategies are coded in C++ with Dev-C++.

The simulator logs all moves into a history. You can look at this history to see if your strategy works as expected.

The results list can be exported as HTML, XML, table (Excel paste-compatible) and TXT.

 ReHash v1.0.0 released!
