Changes¶

0.9 (2016-09-14)¶

Added –dice-sides option to tell how many sides used dices provide.
Changed API interface of get_config_dict() to allow more flexible handling of config files.
Support different verbosity levels.
Added new wordlist en_eff. It is a 7776-terms list provided by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. See https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-passphrases for details. Thanks to George V. Reilly for hinting!
Fixed #27. Allow dashes in numbered wordlists. Yet, these looked like 1234 myterm. We now also accept 1-2-3-4 myterm.

Closed #23. @dwcoder provided a fix that allows use of whitespace-only values in diceware confg files if they are enclosed in quotes.
Fixed #21. @dwcoder revealed and fixed (again!). This time –caps and –no-caps settings did not work properly when set in CLI or in .diceware.ini config file.
Shortened real-dice randomness source.
Added logger as common interface to send messages to users.
New dependency: sphinx_rtd_theme for generating docs. This theme was formerly a dependency of Sphinx.

Fixed #19. @dwcoder revealed and fixed a nasty bug in the real-dice randomness-source. Thanks a lot!

Added sample .diceware.ini.
Added new english wordlist en_securedrop. This is the new default list. Thanks to heartsucker who compiled and added the list.
Remove support for Python 3.2. Several packages we depend on for testing and sandboxing stopped Python 3.2 support. We follow them.

Minor doc changes: add separate config file docs.
Fix docs: the default wordlist is named en. Some docs were not up-to-date in that regard.

Officially support Pyhthon 3.5.
Tests do not depend on pytest-cov, pytest-xdist anymore.
Support configuration files. You can set different defaults in a file called .diceware.ini in your home directory.
Renamed wordlist en_8k to en as it serves as the default for english passphrases.

New option -r, --randomsource. We support a pluggable system to define alternative sources of randomness. Currently supported sources: "system" (to retrieve randomness from standard library, default) and realdice, which allows use of real dice.
New option -w, --wordlist. We now provide several wordlists for users to choose from. Own wordlists could already be fed to diceware before. By default we still use the 8192 words list from http://diceware.com.
Rename SRC_DIR to WORDLISTS_DIR (reflecting what it stands for).
Use also flake8 with tox.
Pass options to get_passphrase() instead of a bunch of single args.
Output wordlists dir in help output.

Turned former diceware module into a Python package. This is to fix bug #1 Wordlists aren’t included during installation, this time really. Wordlists will from now on be stored inside the diceware package. Again many thanks to conorsch who digged deep into the matter and also came up with a very considerable solution.
Use readthedocs theme in docs.
