If Microsoft Edge has been uninstalled, it now no longer appears in the 'URL(s)' menu.
Added 'More Commands' item in the group and entry context menus (it shows the corresponding full menu).
Fatal error messages are now more detailed when running KeePass with the '-debug' command line option.

Improvements:
When clicking on a group in the group tree of the main window, all entries are deselected now.
If the currently selected entry does not have parameters for generating time-based one-time passwords, the Ctrl+T and Ctrl+Shift+T keyboard shortcuts are now ignored.
Improved icon handling in certain entry lists (significantly faster creation of such a list when there are many entries with custom icons, reduced memory usage, reduced number of GDI objects, ...).
In the master key prompt dialog, toggling the hiding of the password now does not change the state of the password check box anymore.
When generating passwords for the 'Preview'/'Generate' tab page of the password generator dialog takes too long, it is now aborted.
Replaced status indicators on the 'Preview'/'Generate' tab page of the password generator dialog.
Increased the number of preview passwords to 50.
UI improvements in the trigger editing dialog.
After showing a command/placeholder confirmation dialog (cmd:// URI, {CMD:...} placeholder, {REF@...} placeholder), KeePass now focuses the previously focused window.
Renamed 'entry view' to 'details view' (because it can now also display details of a group).
Removed the group/entry duplication commands from the context menus (they continue to be available in the main menu).
Various improvements in some import modules.
Improved UUID zero tests.
The revision component of the assembly version is now invariant.
On Windows 11 24H2 ARM64 and later, KeePass now runs natively, too (i.e. without x64 emulation).
Added KeePassLibN native support library, which provides native implementations of AES-KDF and Argon2 on Windows systems (x86, x64 and ARM64).
New C# AES-KDF implementation (about 30-50 times as fast as before, depending on the system; used when the native support library is unavailable or disabled).
New C# KeePass KDB import/export module, which now makes it possible to import/export KDB files on ARM64 systems and on Unix-like systems, too.
The KeePass KDB import/export module now supports importing and exporting the default user name and the database color.
When exporting a database to a KDB file, the root group is now exported, too.
The 'About KeePass' dialog now displays the architecture of the current process ('x86'/'x64'/'ARM64'/... instead of only '32-bit'/'64-bit').
Added support for opening URLs with Maxthon, SeaMonkey and Yandex in private mode.
On Unix-like systems, URLs in certain views are now linkified.
Some development snapshots can now load DLL plugins.
Added framework-specific solution and project files for Visual Studio 2022.
The option for using the native support library now also applies to Argon2.
Native support library settings are now respected when using KeePass as a library (e.g. KPScript or PowerShell script).
When clicking the [OK] button of the options dialog, volatile settings (such as the main window position/size) are now saved, too.
When an exception occurs while exporting data, it is now shown in the status logger dialog, if one is displayed.
Improved formatting of multiline messages in the status logger dialog.
The KeePass KDB import/export module now refuses to use a master key containing an XML key file (because KeePass 1.x does not support XML key files).
The KeePass KDB export module does not export unnecessary auto-type sequence definitions anymore.
Improved removal of dangling custom icon references.
KeePass is now built using Visual Studio 2022.
Increased target framework version.
Improved efficiency of some algorithms that use a set.
Improved creation of AES CSP objects.
Improved project cleanup script.
Removed KeePassLibC native support library (because it is not used by KeePass 2.x anymore; KeePassLibC continues to be available in the KeePass 1.x source code package); the installer deletes it when updating an existing KeePass installation.
Added option 'Search for group paths in quick searches' (in 'Tools' → 'Options' → tab 'Interface (1)', turned on by default).
Added optional main entry list columns 'Group Path' and 'Group Name' (both turned off by default, can be turned on in 'View' → 'Configure Columns').
In list views that support selecting multiple items, all items can now be selected by pressing Ctrl+A.
In list views that have a corresponding 'Delete' button, the selected items can now alternatively be deleted by pressing the Delete key.
Added empty state messages for list views.
The placeholder confirmation dialog now contains links to the help pages on placeholders and security.
If the global auto-type hot key is Ctrl+Alt+A and the new French Standard AZERTY keyboard layout (introduced in Windows 11 24H2) is active, KeePass now shows a warning dialog (telling the user that Ctrl+Alt+A is in conflict with a system key combination producing a character and where it can be changed).
Added 'More information' link in the Ctrl+Alt+A conflict warning dialog.
The clipboard clearing countdown bar now has a tooltip that shows the remaining number of seconds.
When the optimization for screen readers is active, quality progress bars can now be focused (using the Tab key).
Added support for importing Mozilla Firefox 143 passwords CSV files.
Bitwarden JSON import: if the value of a 'totp' field consists only of Base32 characters, it is now treated as a shared secret for time-based one-time password generation.
Added support for parsing Unix timestamps in milliseconds.
Added workaround for focus bug after returning from a secure desktop.
ShInstUtil: added support for generating native ARM64 images (NGen) on ARM64 systems.
When using the MSI file for installing KeePass, native images (NGen) are now generated and the start-up performance is optimized (as the regular installer does by default).
Improvements:
It is now possible to select an item in the drop-down list of the quick search box using the keyboard (the quick search box can be focused by pressing Ctrl+E, and the drop-down list can be opened by pressing Alt+↓).
Disabled auto-completion of the quick search box (because the auto-completion causes a bug when trying to search for a new text while the drop-down list is being displayed).
The commands 'Show HMAC-Based OTP' and 'Show Time-Based OTP' now display the generated OTP with a larger font (on Windows Vista and later).
In order to avoid selection/Ctrl+A problems, the entry string name auto-completion now does not append suggestions anymore; it only shows a list of suggestions (in which a suggestion can be selected manually).
In the entropy collection dialog, the number of bits generated using the mouse is now displayed on the quality progress bar.
The value of a 'File/URL' or 'Key file' field of a trigger event/condition/action may now optionally be enclosed in double quotation marks.
When shutting down the system, KeePass now saves the configuration immediately.

ShInstUtil: improved uninstallation of native images (NGen).
ShInstUtil: improved .NET check.
Upgraded installer.
MSI setup: when updating from KeePass 2.60 to a newer version, shortcuts created manually by users (e.g. pinned to the start menu or the taskbar) should not break anymore.
@...} placeholder), KeePass now focuses the previously focused window.
