  • Bug Fixes:
  • OSX now properly unmounts temporary mounts and ejects ramdisks.
  • All BSDs now have cleaner temporary files.
  • Temporary files for `pass edit` now end in .txt so vim does the right thing.

  • keepassx2pass conversion script now handles empty strings.

New in pass 1.6.2 (May 27, 2014)

  • Features:
  • generate now has an --in-place option to replace only the first line of a file with a new password
  • generate now uses pretty ansi colors

  • Lots of general code cleanups and restructurings
  • Bug Fixes:

  • use install -d instead of mkdir -p in makefile
  • do not rely on bash inside of makefile
  • cleaner tmpdir cleanup logic
  • use portable sed in zsh completion

New in pass 1.6.1 (Apr 26, 2014)

  • Bug fixes:
  • OS X and BSD does not support the -D option in the install, which was causing some major problems in 'make install'. Work around this while also introducing BASHCOMP_PATH and related arguments.

New in pass 1.6 (Apr 26, 2014)

  • Features:
  • `pass find` allows searching for filenames or directory names within the password store. It makes use of tree 1.7.0 features that the pass community developed.
  • `pass grep` allows searching inside of encrypted files.
  • `pass mv` and `pass cp` allow moving and copying password files around, and automatically reencrypt them if the source folder requires a different gpg-id.
  • The --reencrypt/-e switch is now gone from init. All comands that change gpg-id or move password files around (such as mv and cp) automatically reencrypt passwords *as needed*, if the source has a different gpg-id or if the gpg-id for a given directory has changed.
  • `make test` will now run an ever-growing test suite of automated unit tests to ensure that we remain bug-free.
  • pass init allows deinitializing sub-gpg-id files by an empty string key argument.
  • If stdin is not a tty, no interactive questions are asked.
  • Empty folders are pruned on removing or moving entries.
  • Sneaky paths are checked and prevented.
  • Platform files run before installation too now.
  • Support for Windows/Cygwin.
  • We detect gpg-agent and display a warning if it's not running before mass-reencryption operations.
  • Makefile now automatically detects bash/zsh/fish completion support.
  • Complete reorganization of codebase for improved maintainability.
  • Revelation2pass converstion script supports xml.
  • Keepassx2pass conversion script handles new lines and slashes.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Bash completion is installed to correct place
  • Better error messages.
  • Clarification of secure tmpdir on FreeBSD.
  • Platform installation supports GNU sed.
  • Zsh completion supports trailing slashes.
  • Typos.
  • New Additions from Contributors:
  • 1Password importer
  • Pass now supports Emacs

  • On insert, no-echo mode is now default, with the --echo mode to turn on echoing of passwords.
  • Cosmetic changes with the tree display
  • Addition of lastpass2pass.rb importer
  • Man page typos
  • Bug fix for backslashes when reading passwords

New in pass 1.3 (Sep 14, 2012)

  • New features:
  • Let PASSWORD_STORE_DIR override the password store directory location
  • Use GNU getopt to allow arguments to be anywhere
  • Confirm before overwriting on insert (use --force to revert behavior)
  • Use GNU readline when reading passwords in the default insert mode
  • Skip directories and add edit mode to ZSH completion file
  • Make GPG output quieter
  • Support ramdisk on OSX via out-of-tree patch
  • Add --version switch
  • Bug fixes:

New in pass 1.2.1 (Sep 12, 2012)
