• Native master key transformations are now computed in two threads on 64-bit systems, too; on dual/multi core processors this results in almost twice the performance as before (by doubling the amount of rounds you'll get the same waiting time as in 2.18, but the protection against dictionary and guessing attacks is doubled).
• New XML configuration and translation deserializer to improve the startup performance.
• Added option to require a password repetition only when hiding using asterisks is enabled (enabled by default).

• Added workaround to support loading data from version information files even when they have incorrectly been decompressed by a web filter.
• Added workarounds for '°', '|' and '£' .NET SendKeys issues.
