v2.90 [Sep 23, 2016]
Version 2.9.0 features the new option “Specify length” for the “Include words” setting. It allows selecting passphrases according to a certain length specification: Passphrases not conforming to the specification will be discarded. The length can be specified as a single number (N), as a length range (M-N), or with one of the operators >, =, <=. Moreover, PWGen checks on start-up if an instance of the program is already running.

v2.8.0.1 [Apr 27, 2016]
- Added drag & drop support for the password boxes in the main window and in the "MP assword Generator" dialog, as well as for password lists: a drag & drop operation can be started by left-clicking on the password security bar below the password box and holding the mouse button; in the password list window, text can be directly dragged from the password list itself; the password(s) (or a selection thereof) may be dropped to any application registered as a drop target; conversely, the password boxes can act as drop targets and receive text from other applications
- New option "Position Automatically" in the "Quick Help" window (available in the context menu of the text box): if activated, the window is positioned below the "Quick Help (?)" button whenever it is made visible (this used to be the default setting); otherwise, the window position will not be changed, and will be saved in the configuration .ini file.

v2.7.0.1 [Jan 2, 2016]
In version 2.7.0, most windows (including the main window of the program) can now be changed in size, and new options “Always on top”, which makes PWGen and its subordinate windows the top-most windows on the screen, as well as “Provide additional entropy / From file”, which allows incorporating entropy from any file into the random pool, have been added to the main menu. Besides, the “Quick help” window has been redesigned in order to enable copying text and scrolling with the mouse wheel. PWGen provides lots of options to customize passwords to the users’ various needs. Additionally, it offers strong text encryption and the creation of random data files.

v2.6.0.1 [Sep 7, 2015]
Version 2.6.0 features new options to generate passwords and passphrases in which each character or word, respectively, occurs only once; number ranges in formatted passwords; a new “Provide Additional Entropy” dialog, which allows entering or pasting any text in order to feed additional entropy into the random poool; and last but not least, some bug fixes.

v2.5.4 [Oct 12, 2014]
Fixes:
- Random data files contained terminating non-random zeros (max. 15 bytes) if file size was not a multiple of 16 bytes (e.g., if file size was 100 bytes, the last 4 bytes (= 100 - 6*16) were zeros).
