14 DAY TRIAL // Since its initial debut on May 19, 2006, 1Password has been updated 112 times with a total of 1,223 changes, according to Agile Web Solutions – “A clear testament to the Agile team's love of 1Password,” the company says. The most recent update, 1Password 2.11.0, is a maintenance release with several changes and improvements. Continue to read below for more details.
“In case you missed the recent update message, a new Upgrade to Agile Keychain window will open on first launch for those still using the OS X Keychain,” a message on the Agile website reads. “It is recommended that you proceed with the upgrade to the new Agile Keychain if you are prompted. The Agile Keychain is required by 1Password 3 to support the new features and it is important that this upgrade happen before downloading 1Password 3 or you will experience issues with OS X Keychain permissions. For details, please see Automatically Upgrading Your Keychain,” Agile Web Solutions advises users of its flagship app.
Noting that 1Password 2.11.0 is recommended for all users and is free for all paid-license holders, Agile proceeds with posting the full changelog for this release. New in this version are improved Fill Credit Card and Fill Identity form fillers to support RFC 4112, as well as improvements to the OS X to the Agile keychain conversion process to work better on Snow Leopard. Agile was also able to improve the diagnostics report to include more information about the 1PasswordAgent plus a Summary section. Additionally, the diagnostics script now “gracefully” reports any exceptions that may occur, the developer says. Other changes include:
- Making backup preferences more robust by disallowing removable or unwritable locations for automated backups. Also, it is no longer possible to choose a folder inside the current .agilekeychain for the backups. - Improved instructions on the Agile Keychain Migration screen to explain that if you are prompted by the OS X Keychain Service during the migration, click Allow. - Fixed problem where Wi-Fi sync authorization would fail if 1Password trial had expired. - Fixed an issue on PPC machines that would prevent the 1PasswordAgent from launching. - Fixed a rare crash that could happen on unlock.
