RELEASE NOTES:
--------------

NEW FEATURES:

- new "password hasher" functionality, called "MP Password Generator"
  (MP = Master Password); accessible via the "Tools" item in the main menu
  or via the "magic hat" icon in the toolbar, the MPPG allows you to
  reproducibly generate unique passwords based on a secret master password and
  a parameter string, such as the name of the website account, etc.; it also
  provides a compatibility option for the online password hasher "Hashapass"
  (www.hashapass.com), intended for users who want to be independent of a
  Windows-based application
- the "deterministic" random generator from the MP Password Generator (see
  above) can be set as PWGen's default random generator, thus making password
  generation (and generation of random data files) in the main window fully
  reproducible; but see important notes in the manual!
- upon selecting certain functions (e.g., when clearing the clipboard) a small
  yellow info box is shown in the center of the main window to give the user
  a succinct feedback for the action

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS:

- "exit" button in the toolbar has been removed to make room for the new
  "magic hat" button; quick exit can be accomplished by pressing Alt+Q

FIXES:

- fixed incorrect comparison between newer and older versions of PWGen
