SplashID 5 has arrived

This is a late announcement, but we wanted to let you know that SplashID 5 has been released for iPhone, Mac and Windows. There have been a ton of enhancements, as you will see below. A couple of important points:

• Please backup before you upgrade (File > Backup)
• Download the iPhone update on the App Store
• Download the SplashID iPhone Desktop here

New Desktop Features:

• Security Enhancements:
  • AES. This US government approved encryption standard
    has been added on top of the already powerful Blowfish
    algorithm.
  • Password Hint Question. Password hints can be a little
    too easy sometimes, so first you’ll have to answer one
    of the security questions of your choosing before the
    hint is revealed.
  • Password Strength Indicator. Added to the Set Password
    dialog and the Password Generator. Don’t feel bad if
    you like short passwords. We all do.
  • Clear Clipboard on Exit. This default option is found
    in the Options dialog. It plainly makes sense.
• Browser Plug-In. SplashID in your browser! A search
  box and Web Login picker is added to Safari/Internet
  Explorer if you install it. This replicates the web
  autofill functionality from the SplashID desktop, but
  as an installed plugin for Internet Explorer (Windows)
  and Safari (Mac). Sorry, but Firefox and other browsers
  will not be supported at this time. To install the plugin,
  go to File > Plugin for Safari/Internet Explorer > Install.
• Install to Removable Device. Now you can take SplashID
  on a thumb drive (or whatever) anywhere you go. Copies
  the application and database files to <Removable Disk>/SplashID
  folder.
• Add Attachments. A new field has been added to the database
  so you can add a file (up to 1mb) to the record for
  association and safe keeping.
• Add Icons. Just click Add Icons in the Icon Picker,
  so your record and type icons can be whatever you like.
  You will also notice we updated some of the old rickety
  icons.
• Smart Types. In the lower left of the Detail View, you
  will find 3 Smart Types containing the latest 10: Most
  Viewed, Recently Modified, and Recently Viewed. These
  help you get to your most popular records faster.
• Scrollable Detail Pane. If your Notes are longer than
  the provided space in the Detail Pane, you will have
  a scroll bar so you can view the full notes without
  having to open the Edit dialog.
• Resizable Edit Dialog. You can now vertically resize
  the Edit Dialog so you can get more out of that notes
  field.
• Better Keyboard Support. You can tab between windows
  and UI elements better now to avoid that annoying mouse
  click.
• Enhanced Database Sync Logic. When using the database
  sync feature introduced in version 4, you should no
  longer have lost or duplicated records.
• Drag and Drop Records into Types. Need to change the
  type assignment for a record? Select it, then click
  it, the drag it into the destination type (Panel View).
• DeDupe Tool. Scans the database for records containing
  the same data and offers to delete them. Found in the
  File menu.
• Event Viewer. Logs your activity in SplashID so we can
  provide you with the Smart Types. This may also be useful
  in technical support scenarios. Found in the View menu.
  The log file only contains record names – none of the
  other fields. You can file this file:
  • Mac OS: ~/Documents/SplashID/SplashIDLogFile.plist
  • Windows: C:Users<user>DocumentsSplashDataSplashIDPreferencesEventsLog.xml
• Better Print support. For record list, text is wrapped,
  and there is an option to print notes. For individual
  records, nice new layout.
• Minimize to System Tray. On Windows, you have the
  option of minimizing to the System Tray (bottom right)
  instead of the Task Bar. To enable this, go to Options > Minimize
  Options.
• Sequential Backup System. Auto backup now saves multiple
  backup files so you don’t lose your data if you have
  a database meltdown, then quit SplashID and overwrite
  the backup file on exit (as in previous versions). Now
  backups have sequential filenames, Backup 0, Backup
  1, Backup 2, Backup 3, etc. When Backup 9 is reached,
  the next save replaces Backup 0, so you don’t spiral
  into infinitely diminishing hard disk space.

New iPhone Features

• Compatibility with SplashID 5 Desktop. Sync with all
  the cool features from the new desktop application above.
• Manual IP Address Synchronization. Finally, you can enter
  your desktop IP address if you can’t discover it automatically
  for some reason.
• Custom Icons. Take a photo or choose an existing one to
  make a custom icon for a record or type.
• File Attachments. Take a photo or attach an existing one
  to a record for future reference. You can add any type
  of file on the desktop and if the iPhone can view it,
  you can view it in the SplashID record.
• User Interface Overhaul. Too many improvements here
  to list, but you’ll see. You can also choose between
  different “Views” and “Themes” so you can really customize your SplashID experience.
• Most Viewed Perspective. A new tab shows you the
  records that you view more often for quick access.
