PWGen full changelog

NEW FEATURES:
New option "Specify length" for the "Include words" setting, which allows selecting passphrases with a certain length or length range; if enabled, only passphrases with lengths in the specified range will be displayed or added to the password list
Check on start-up if an instance of PWGen is already running; if so, the user is asked to close the instance before starting a new one
New option "Change font" in the context menu of the "Quick help" window

NEW FEATURES:
Drag & drop support for the password boxes in the main window and in the "MP Password Generator" dialog, as well as for password lists: a drag & drop operation can be started by left-clicking on the password security bar below the password box and holding the mouse button; in the password list window, text can be directly dragged from the password list itself; the password(s) or a selection thereof) may be dropped to any application registered as a drop target; conversely, the password boxes can act as drop targets and receive text from other applications
New option "Position Automatically" in the "Quick Help" window (available in the context menu of the text box): if activated, the window is positioned below the "Quick Help (?)" button whenever it is made visible (this used to be the default setting); otherwise, the window position will not be changed, and will be saved in the configuration .ini file

most windows in the program can now be changed in size, settings are stored in the configuration file and are reloaded on start-up
for custom character sets ("Include words"), some placeholders may be either spelled in full or abbreviated, such as = , , , = , etc. (see manual for more details)
new option "Always on top" in the "Options" menu, which makes PWGen's main window and its subordinate windows the top-most windows on the screen

new "Advanced" password options "Each character/word must occur only once" for formatted passwords, this option can be activated by specifying an asterisk (*) symbol between the "%" character and the format specifier e.g., "%*16A" inserts 16 unique alphanumeric characters
in formatted passwords, a number range in the form "x-y" can be specified to insert a random number between x and y of random characters from a character set; e.g., "%5-10L" inserts at least 5 and at most 10 random letters
new "Provide Additional Entropy" window with a text box where you can enter or paste any text (preferably from volatile, non-static sources containing a certain amount of randomness), which is compressed to roughly estimate its entropy content and then added to the random pool

generation of unique password lists (i.e., lists where each entry must occur only once; activated by the option "Exclude duplicate entries" in the "Advanced Password Options") has been optimized for speed (at the expense of a roughly doubled memory requirement) and is much faster now even for very large password lists (>1 million entries)
when generating password lists to files with the "Exclude duplicates" option activated, checking for duplicates is performed in-memory now instead of searching the entire file contents; as a consequence, the amount of swords that can be generated in this case is limited by the memory available to a 32-bit application like PWGen (... but it's also much faster now); note that when the list is appended to an existing file, the file contents will NOT be searched anymore for already existing password entries, i.e., a new unique password list will be appended to the file

new character set "" in addition to "" for generating phonetic passwords consisting of mixed-case letters, i.e., each letter will be either lower-case or upper-case (chosen randomly); this effectively increases the password security by 1.0 bit per character

NEW FEATURES:
· full Unicode support throughout the entire application: passwords, translations, file names, word lists, text encryption, i.e., PWGen should be capable now of handling all theoretically possible 1,114,112 Unicode characters; yet PWGen should still run on Windows versions which are mostly ANSI-based (Windows 9x/Me)
· variable file encoding: PWGen is capable of reading and writing Unicode text files encoded as UTF-16 little-/big-endian, UTF-8 and (non-Unicode) ANSI (as identified by the byte-order mark at the beginning of the file); the desired encoding for writing Unicode text may be changed in the main menu via File / File Encoding
· generate phonetic (pronounceable) passwords: this feature has been residing on my infamous to-do list for a long, long time, but has now been realized, at last!

· new quot;Create Random Data Filequot; dialog: should be more convenient than the
· handling before
· font of the generated password in the main window can be changed now (quot;Change Fontquot; option accessible in the context menu of the box)
· problem was that the font quot;Fixedsysquot;, which was used as fixed default before, could not display characters like the quot;Euroquot; symbol (€)
· some obligatory bug fixes, code cleanup
