Why KeePass Pro, not KeePass 2?

Hmm, what is "KeePass Pro Portable" named after? Why wasn't it named KeePass 2 Portable?

Unfortunately, I don't understand that. Sad

Version 3

The simple reason is... version 3. If I named the newer one KeePass2Portable, what happens when they up the version to 3 or 4? I think the old v1 should be called KeePass Classic and the newer one just KeePass, personally.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

propably a pro version

it's propably pro but no idea why. the old one is usually called classic.
the differences and what plus does the new version have is not communicated from the developer.
the main known difference is the extra needed software, i think .net or so.
many developers i stumble upon don't even use a changelog or publish release notes with changes.
you don't need write essays but a few points are not hard to write.

help were i can. maybe you can help me too. threads in account/track.
if you don't want to help don't post crap!

It's Spring. SpamBears start to wake up!

There is a full explanation about the 'Why' of the different versioning. If someone can't add something positive there is no need to say I don't know!

no words for this bullying

john gave only his opinion, but there or this is no facts based explantation, my feeling.
and based on possible upcoming versions, maybe maybe maybe...
and if i remember well, i read here, ask the developer only they know...
you try enduring to bully / bash!
handles like the username says!!!
it saves your day as it looks like!
