This release has some bug fixes, but is mostly focused on improvements, especially to the new command line interface.<\/p>\n<p>Initially I had planned to make the previous beta the last one before the first stable release, but then I realised that the command line interface really does need support for a configuration file before it&#8217;s ready for prime-time, so this beta is focused around the addition of what I am calling <code>hsxkpasswdrc<\/code> files.<\/p>\n<p><code>hsxkpasswdrc<\/code> files allow custom presets to be stored for re-use, and for defaults to be set for many of the command line options, making it much easier to customise the command line interface&#8217;s behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>By default the command line interface now looks for a <code>hsxkpasswdrc<\/code> file at <code>~\/.hsxkpasswdrc<\/code>. You can specify a different path with the new <code>--rcfile<\/code> option, and you can use the new <code>--test-rcfile<\/code> option to help you debug your <code>hsxkpasswdrc<\/code> files.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an interest in this module, please install the beta and report any problems you find by <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/bbusschots\/xkpasswd.pm\/issues\" target=\"_blank\">opening issues on the project&#8217;s GitHub page<\/a>. Or better still if you&#8217;re a developer, fixing the bug and sending me a pull request \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I&#8217;m still looking for help in the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Native German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese speakers to sanitise the dictionary files for those languages, leaving only a few thousand common words &#8211; these dictionary files are simply too big at the moment, and they must be full of really obscure words to be this large!<\/li>\n<li>People who are good at technical writing to help me give the documentation some spit and polish. I think all the relevant information is there, and I have run it all though a spell checker, but it could definitely do with some TLC from a copy editor!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Oh, and finally finally, if you find this module useful, please consider donating with the button below &#8211; I have literally put hundreds of hours into this code in the last few months, and given it all away for free.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><!-- Begin PayPal Donations by https:\/\/www.tipsandtricks-hq.com\/paypal-donations-widgets-plugin -->\n\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\">\n    <div class=\"paypal-donations\">\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_donations\" \/>\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"bn\" value=\"TipsandTricks_SP\" \/>\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"business\" value=\"bart@bartificer.net\" \/>\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"item_name\" value=\"XKPasswd\" \/>\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"item_number\" value=\"XKPasswd\" \/>\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"rm\" value=\"0\" \/>\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"EUR\" \/>\n        <input type=\"image\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_donate_LG.gif\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.\" \/>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n<\/form>\n<!-- End PayPal Donations -->\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;font-weight:bold;font-size:16pt\">*<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/bbusschots\/xkpasswd.pm\/releases\/tag\/v3.3.1\" title=\"XKPasswd.pm GitHub Releases\" target=\"_blank\">Download Beta 3 of <code>Crypt::HSXKPasswd<\/code> via GitHub<\/a>*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve just released what I hope will be the last beta release before the first stable release of Crypt::HSXKPasswd.
