Release v1.7.0 (pass)

This is the latest pass release, before forking it into passh.

Changes

Features

  • Extensions: pass can now load user-defined extensions from a system
    directory or a user directory. There's already a nice ecosystem of
    extensions being built, even at this early stage. See the pass man page for
    more information.

  • Signatures: there is now an option to enforce signatures of the .gpg-id file
    and extensions using an environment variable.

  • QRCodes: generate and show have now learned the --qrcode/-q switch. Note to
    package maintainers: this adds a dependency on the popular qrencode package.

  • Password generation: rather than use pwgen, we now use /dev/urandom more
    directly, which results in more assured password security, as well as
    customizable character sets, via an environment variable. See the pass man
    page for more information on this customization. Package maintainers: you
    may now drop the dependency on pwgen.

  • Importers: there now are several more importers. More and more folks are
    moving to pass!

  • Selectable clipping: you can now specify which line you wish to copy to the
    clipboard or display with a qrcode when using -c or -q.

  • Git discovery: The PASSWORD_STORE_GIT environment variable has been removed,
    and instead pass will automatically choose the git repository closest to the
    file being modified (but not out of the actual password store itself). This
    should help people who like to nest git repos for different organizations.

Bug fixes

Too many to count.

Installing

Debian/Ubuntu

From repository

Pass repository: wget -O pass-1.7.0.tar.gz https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/snapshot/password-store-1.7.tar.gz

This repository: wget -O pass-1.7.0.tar.gz https://github.com/HacKanCuBa/passh/archive/1.7.0.tar.gz

Run make install as a privileged user:

tar -xf pass-*.tar.gz
cd pass-*
sudo make install

If you don't want to sudo make install, you can simply copy src/password-store.sh to /usr/bin/pass. Optionally, check completion helpers in src/completion and man page at man/pass.1.

Note To Distros

  • Drop the dependency of pwgen.
  • Add the dependency of qrencode.
  • The Makefile now does the right thing with DESTDIR, so you might want to
    double check that your package recipe does the right thing.
  • The semantics for auto-detection of bash completion has changed, with new
    environment variables for such things. See INSTALL for details.
