Changelog
Version 1.05
This release is apparently a monument to my backwards-compatibility fetish. Nobody still uses Windows 98 anymore, do they?
- Fixed: Config directory issue caused start-time crash on Windows 98.
- Fixed: Main menu unnecessarily appeared in the Users dialog on Windows (all versions).
- Improve: Directory last used persists as initial directory for next file dialog.
- New: First version released for Linux/X11.
- New: First version released as a Universal IA32/IA64 app on Mac OS X.
(Released 2011-11-12.)
Version 1.04
- New: Preferences dialog.
- New: Added new password formats: Obtuse (stronger), Numbers (useful for PIN-type numbers on some
devices), Director Insists (weaker than Manager Insists) and CEO Insists (face-palm level weak).
- New: Bundled internal words library from FreeBSD's Dict.
- New: Add any number of supplementary words files from any location.
- New: Currently active Password strength listed in the status bar, as a blue link. Click it to open Preferences to change it.
- New: Links to online Walkthrough, FAQ and License in the Help Menu.
- New: New icon for Windows version. Matches the higher res Mac version now.
- Change: Removed the old 'Manager Insists' Info dialog. The general info is covered in the online FAQ, while the old Words file setup info no
longer applies.
- Change: Despite the inclusion of an internal dictionary, the distributable for Windows is down from 2.9M to 2.3M. (The exe
responds better to compression now, so it's worth making it a zip.)
- Known issue: CEO Insists mode may occasionally select a words along the way that make the password a
letter short. When this happens, a random capital letter will be added to bring it to the required length.
