firefox-pwgen 0.4.5 released
Hello there!
I know… it has been a long time since the last release and I know, many of you were awaiting for the bug fix identifed by Armin Juhlke @juhlke.de - I was able finally today to put some time aside and look at it – here is the new release….
This release includes some bug fixes and had underwent a medium code cleanup from the 0.4 branch including some XUL improvements and a new feature added.
Here is the raw changeLog
1. Bug reported by Armin Juhlke @juhlke.de
“The digit 0 is not excluded from generated password when specified in the list of excludec characters”2. Feature added – Password History added for current session.The user is now able to select whether or not they want to keep a history of the generated passwords… those passwords are not “saved” and only exist in memory; the user can then clean the buffer. That being said, the logged passwords do not survive a firefox restart.
3. JS Preference Code Cleanup – Optimization in metadata table
4. XUL Interface + CSS major improvements
5. Added support for Firefox 3.7a6pre
The addon was just uploaded, thus is available through https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/92313/pwgen-0.4.5-fx.xpi – Once it has been reviewed by Firefox AMO Editors, it will then be available on the addon’s main page.
Cheers,
Ali
Hi, Ali. Thank you for pwgen. It seems to work great. Just one change that I’d really appreciate. I don’t want a dedicated, always present status bar icon just for creating an occasional password. If at all possible, I’d like the option to simply have a selection in the Tools menu instead.
A perfect add-on for the Firefox browser. Thank you very much for creating it!
The only option I would add would be to have an icon in the top address/navigation bar, rather than the bottom corner, as I frequently work full-screen and moving down there causes either the task bar or my instant messenger application (Trillian Astra) top pop into view each time.
I hope you’re able to add that feature if you have time.
Thanks!
