FIXED BUGS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Password Corral Not Year 2000 Compatible
Versions 2.0.4.12 and earlier of Password Corral were not ready for the year
2000 problem. While previous versions should still work, and password
information isn't compromised, password expiration notices won't function
correctly.
This bug was fixed as of version 2.0.5.13. If you're using a date format other
than the standard US format (m/d/yy), the first time you start Password Corral
it will not warn you if any of your passwords have expired and won't update the
number of days till expiration. Understand that this will only happen the first
time you launch v2.0.5.13 or later. Once your registry has been updated to the
new date format that Password Corral uses, future launches of the program will
update and report password expiration information as normal. If you're using a
non-US date format and are having trouble with v2.0.5.13 or later, please
contact us right away.
Because of the complexity of Year 2000 compliance, Cygnus Productions cannot
make any guarantees as to being 100% compliant. We've made every effort to make
sure Password Corral is up to code, but because we rely on other software
vendor's tools to create Password Corral, unforeseen Y2K issues could affect
the program beyond our control. If you have any concerns, please contact us.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Password Corral Would Not Import Some Password Export Files
Versions 2.0.2.9 and earlier of Password Corral would not properly import a
password export file. Symptoms include early termination of the import with an
error, a complete import with bad data or restarting Password Corral after an
import with an error similar to "xxx is not a valid integer."
The problem centered around carriage returns in the "Notes" field for each
password. If a carriage return (pressing the ENTER key) was contained in the
"Notes" field for any or all of the passwords in the export file, the import
would not function properly.
This bug was fixed as of version 2.0.3.10. After upgrading to the new version
of Password Corral, generate a new export file. Export files generated with
this new version, and all future versions, will import correctly, whether or
not the "Notes" field has multiple lines. Note that versions 2.0.2.9 and
earlier cannot import these new password export files as the file format has
changed.
There is a workaround if your original install of Password Corral has been
deleted or is no longer functioning due to an import of a faulty export file.
1) Create a backup copy of the faulty export file.
2) Open the export file in Notepad, or any other text editor.
3) Scroll through the file and locate note entries for each of the password
entries. For each entry, make sure all note text appears on a single line.
There should be no carriage returns/blank lines separating the note text.
4) Save the file.
5) Make sure version 2.0.3.10 or later of Password Corral is installed on your
PC. Start Password Corral and create a new user account. Import the
password export file into this new account.
Your password list should now be imported properly and visible to you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Username Information Corrupt After Importing a Password Export File
Versions 2.0.2.9 and earlier of Password Corral would corrupt username
information on a import.
The problem occurred when the current master password was different from the
password that was used to generate the password export file.
This bug was fixed as of version 2.0.3.10. Importing a password export file,
even one generated by a previous version, should no longer corrupt username
information if the master password is different from the password that created
the export file.

KNOWN BUGS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Toolbar Icons are Corrupt with Some Video Boards
Versions 1.5.x and later of Password Corral will display corrupt toolbar icons
with certain video boards.
The problem has been noticed with Diamond Multimedia's Viper V330 video board.
This is a known issue and is not a problem with Password Corral, but the
compiler used to create it. We've contacted the vendor, but cannot fix the
problem until they fix their compiler. As soon as they do, we'll issue a fix
for Password Corral.
If you're seeing corruption of the toolbar icons with another video board
other than Diamond's Viper V330 we would appreciate it if you let us know.
