After one year and more than 300 commits, PPassKeeper 1.0 beta 2 has finally been released !

What is PPassKeeper ?

PPasskeeper is my main personal project. It is a library that intends to create a portable way of storing sensitive information, such as passwords or private keys, into a safe place. In order to be portable and flexible, the library allows third-party developers to improve it by creating more plugins that can be free (as in freedom) or proprietary.

The goals of this project is to :

  • Provide a common interface for desktops and operating systems to access secure password storages
  • Be modular
  • Allow third-party developers to easily create new modules
  • Be backwards compatible

This project is developed under the LGPL v2.0 or later license.

What has changed since the beta 1 ?

Well, a lot of things have changed. As a summary, I can tell that it is way more mature, it is now thread-safe, has a better API/ABI, supports blobs, has support for the Gnome-Keyring, initial support for modules parameters, created unit tests, switched to CMake and fixes a lot of bugs !
