We have just released a new version of Clipperz password manager that fixes a bug related to native JSON support. The bug was affecting only those using Firefox 3.1. Beta 1 or Beta 2.
Firefox 3.1 includes TraceMonkey, the new Javascript engine. It’s an evolution of SpiderMonkey that uses a new kind of Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler to boost Javascript performance by an order of magnitude or more.
Unfortunately Firefox 3.1 also introduced a DOM binding (the global object JSON) for the native JSON parser; the DOM binding “shadows” the JSON object from the json2.js library currently used by Clipperz for JSON de/serialization. The native parser doesn’t yet support de/serialization of primitive (string, number, boolean) objects (only object literals and arrays) hence the card creation process results in being broken in Firefox 3.1 Beta.
As soon as Firefox 3.1 will provide full support for JSON de/serialiazation (planned for Beta 3) we will switch to the native JSON parser, taking full advantage of speed improvements.

Marco e Giulio, sono felice di vedervi di nuovo attivi. Tante belle cose e un grande futuro a tutti :-)
Firefox 3.5b4
Looks like they fixed this native JSON parser bug in the latest Firefox 3.5b4. I’m sure you know this already, but just in case anyone else was wondering…
Re: Firefox 3.5b4
Hi Jason, you are right, the bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459161 has been resolved as of the release of Firefox 3.1b3 (and hence Firefox 3.5b4 and 3.6a1). As we have been focused on the release of the new (gamma) version we didn’t put the new JSON parser through thorough testing. We are going to do a few more tests and switch back to the standard JSON DOM binding pretty much soon.
Thank you for your attention and interest in Clipperz, we appreciate it very much :)

Latest Version available as Community Edition?
I know this is very late, but, I came across Clipperz, and expected that the community edition would be dated around 2009, as per this story saying ‘New release’… But the version on Sourceforge is from 2008.
Is that the most current version available for now in the community edition?
Thanks for making this thing open source though. :)
Re: Latest Version available as Community Edition?
The version on SourceForge is on sync with the latest code run on the online edition.
There is a small change on the PHP code that is only available on the SVN repository, that has not been included in the tarball.
Since 2008 we have done only some fixes on the server side code, or on part not relevant for the Community Edition (eg: the code to recognize Chrome browser is not relevant in the Community Edition, where the list of past login sessions is missing, due to limits on the PHP code in the backend).
All new efforts have been focused on the completely new version of the application (code /gamma), that is still not complete.

Any update on this new version? Maybe a roadmap?
