The usage message has been updated in apg.go to improve its clarity and usefulness. Changes include displaying the version number dynamically, providing the project's GitHub link, changing the term 'options' to 'flags', and more precise terminology in descriptions. Also, formatting has been adjusted to improve readability.
A FixedLength field was added to the Config struct and a corresponding command line flag was added in `apg.go`. The field allows for the generation of passwords of a fixed length, overriding the MinLength and MaxLength values if present. Revised the `random.go` script to accommodate this change. The option for fixed length enhances the flexibility and customization of the password generation tool.
Updated the password generator to include default modes for characters along with options to enable complex password mode and toggle specific character types in passwords from the command line. This allows for greater customization and more user control in password generation, especially useful for applications with unique password requirements."
The naming and handling of mode bitmasks have been refactored for improved code readability and maintainability. The term "Mode" was replaced with "ModeMask" for clarity and all associated functions were renamed accordingly (e.g., "SetMode" to "MaskSetMode"). These changes provide better insight into the function of the code and increase understandability for future development efforts. The command-line utility now also supports specifying modes via the "-M" flag.
Refactored the generator to include a new config option, changed function signatures to follow the new structure, and renamed the function 'RandomString' to 'RandomStringFromCharRange' for clarity. Also, added a new mode and algorithm feature to enhance password generation. Furthermore, added several tests for new features and configurations. Adapted the CLI to use the new configuration approach. This refactoring was necessary to improve the customizability and clarity of the password generation process. Fixed minor issues and added '.gitignore' for clean commits in the future.
