Definitions:
* Database Key - Cryptographic hash used to perform encrypt/decrypt of the database.
* Database Credentials - User facing term to refer to the collection of Password, Key File, and/or Hardware Key used to derive the Database Key.
Changes:
* Remove the term "master" and "key" from the user's lexicon and clarify the code base based on the definitions above.
* Clean up wording in the UI to be clearer to the end user.
* Fix#4768
* MainWindow::updateTrayIcon() is called in MainWindow::applySettingsChanges() earlier in construction. Calling this function twice in a row causes issues with startup times on Linux.
* Added to the new view menu, show entry/group icons at 16px and reduce toolbar icons to 22px.
* Fix search widget being too large vertically (removed padding)
* Prevent double free due to QObject cleanup happening before/after the ExtraPage storing the QSharedPointer to FdoSecretsPlugin is deleted.
* Fixes#4877
Add a small delay between key polling to let the hardware interface settle. Prevents invalid serial numbers from being pulled messing up the KeePassXC workflow.
* Saving a database in unsafe mode retains the existing permissions on the kdbx file
* New databases (save as, save backup, new database) and new key files are saved with 0600 permissions (user read/write), fixes#2575
* Only clear password field when switching tabs or minimizing. This prevents the setting "Remember Key Files and Hardware Keys" from being useless with multiple databases.
* Convert key file field to Line Edit, simplifies usage. Fix clear field button as well.
* Removed need for clearForms to check if the database is being opened (was a solution to tab switching while unlocking, no longer a problem).
* Check every hour to see if another update check should be performed. Nothing actually happens unless 7 days has elapsed since the last update check.
* Fixes#3706
* Add support for 'ifDevice' feature, closes#2871
* Resolve placeholders for username and password to support references, fixes#2078
* Add support for open databases from an entry when the url starts with 'kdbx://'. Uses the same syntax as AutoOpen. Closes#1536.
* Move portable configuration files into a config subfolder from the executable. This prevents overwriting the stored config when the application is updated in-place.
* Use .portable file to signal a portable app
* Fix#4751
* Fixes#4060
* Also fix not emitting entryModified() when history is truncated. This possibly fixes other crashes with apply button when the history is truncated and then the history page is shown with a deleted entry.
* Fix issues when Config options were renamed
* Fix compile issues when using clang 10
* Rearrange database menu icons and import database menu icons
* Set minimum size of MainWindow to 800 to prevent search bar from hiding
* Fix not saving password generator options when closing the standalone generator
* Add headers to health check reports
* Don't show hidden content dots when notes are hidden but empty.
* Fix saving new database files in SMB shares on Windows, fixes#4809
* Gracefully handle duplicate attachments :
Instead of bailing out with an error, prepend a random string to the name of duplicate attachment records. This prevents data loss from other programs that mishandled KDBX XML writing. Fixes#2493
* Properly handle blocked import of signed KeeShare database, fixes#4413
