PasswordSafe 3.63.0 Release May 2023

Bugs fixed in 3.63.0

[GH966] (https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe/issues/966) Default font sizes for hi-res displays corrected (Windows).
[SF1572] (https://sourceforge.net/p/passwordsafe/bugs/1572/) [GH959] (https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe/issues/959) Opening via system tray icon now focuses correctly on Windows 11. The fix was to change the trigger from double-click to a single click, which is consistent with other system tray icons, but is a change for PasswordSafe.
[SF1565] (https://sourceforge.net/p/passwordsafe/bugs/1565/) Dialog box texts in Czech are now rendered correctly (this should also apply to other non-Latin languages).
[GH946] (https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe/issues/946) Expiration dates are now the last second of the specified date, instead of the first minute. This resolves a minor inconsistency.
[GH945] (https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe/issues/945) Document passphrase parameters in pwsafe-cli.

Changes in 3.63.0

Installer executable now has the "PasswordSafe" icon instead of the default NSIS Icon.
Latvian is now supported, thanks to Jurcuks.

PasswordSafe 3.62.0 Release 2 February 2023

Bugs fixed in 3.62.0

[SF1570] (https://sourceforge.net/p/passwordsafe/bugs/1570/) PasswordSafe no longer crashes when adding a new entry in a filtered view.

Changes in 3.62.0

Text (CSV) import is more lenient in what it accepts, to ease importing data from other password managers.
When the password is shown, the "Confirm Password:" text is hidden, as the confirmation text box is used to display the length of the password. Hopefully this makes things less confusing.
SF890 "Recurring" checkbox is now set by default, as this seems to be the more common use-case when setting password expiration in days.
