KeePass 1.37

New Features:
Added option 'Do not store data in the Windows clipboard history and the cloud clipboard' (the option is turned on by default; for entry clipboard commands in the main window).
Enhanced installer (added user directory checks, the plugins web page option can be translated now, ...).

Improvements:
In order to avoid selection/Ctrl+A problems, the user name auto-completion now does not append suggestions anymore; it only shows a list of suggestions (in which a suggestion can be selected manually).
Improved reliability of clipboard operations.
The data for the 'Clipboard Viewer Ignore' clipboard format is now stored in UTF-16 on Windows 2000 and higher.
Moved the option 'Clear clipboard when closing/locking the database' from the 'Advanced' tab to the 'Memory' tab.
Upgraded to Boost libraries version 1.69.0.
Various code optimizations.
Minor other improvements.

Bugfixes:
(None).

New Features:
KeePass now uses Transactional NTFS (TxF) for writing database files, if possible; this improves the compatibility with other programs that are watching these files (e.g. file synchronization services).
Added automatic completion support for the user name box in the entry editing dialog (suggesting user names that are used in other entries).
Added option 'Search for passwords in quick searches' (turned off by default).
The KP1_CFG_LOCAL environment variable now supports paths relative to the current working directory.

Improvements:
File transactions now preserve access control list (ACL) entries.
File transactions are not used anymore when attempting to write to a local file that does not exist yet (to ensure a correct default ACL).
File transactions are not used anymore for files that have a reparse point (e.g. symbolic links).
The configuration system does not create a KeePass folder in the user's application data folder anymore when the target configuration file location is outside this folder.
