jocxfin/pwgen v1.5.0

v1.5.0 - Environment Variable Configuration for Password/Passphrase Defaults

on GitHub

Added:

• Environment Variable Configuration for Password/Passphrase Defaults: Implemented functionality to allow users to define default settings for password and passphrase generation using environment variables. This feature enhances automation and standardization across different deployments, particularly benefiting self-hosted environments.

Fixed:

• Fixed homoglyphic excluding option

Changes:

• Modified password and passphrase generation routes to use environment-provided defaults when explicit parameters are not specified in the request.
• Updated the UI to indicate which settings are being applied, based on the environment variables.
• Added validation for environment variable values to ensure they meet expected formats and constraints.
• Updated documentation to include details on the new environment variables, their expected values, and usage examples.

Technical Improvements:

• Implemented logic to read environment variables for password and passphrase settings at application startup.
• Enhanced backend logic to dynamically adjust default settings based on environment-provided values.
• Added error handling for invalid environment variable values to maintain application stability.

Other:

• Thank you everyone for your support to this hobby project of mine. This release will be a release version 1.5.0 and it will follow semantic versioning from here onwards.
