· Auto Close Feature - Optionally set program to auto close all open databases when there is no activity for some time. When used with the Encryption Password Caching option, this means any encrypted databases would also be reencrypted and then closed.
· 128 bit encryption - Now encrypts with 128 bit Safer-SK encryption for increased security and tamper proofing.
· Second prompt when setting password - Now when you have the password prompt set to hide the password, it will confirm your password before accepting.
· Memory Card Databases syncing - Support for syncing databases stored in memory cards within HanDBase Conduit.
· Microsoft Vista support - for syncing with Vista's Mobile Device Center
· Category support - for databases stored on memory cards.
· Scroll Bar in List View - for faster navigation of large databases
