cat << EOF
Ruby/Password comprises a set of useful methods for creating, verifying
and manipulating passwords. It includes an interface to CrackLib, a library
commonly used for checking password strength. 
 
 The target audience for
this library is system administrators who need to write Ruby programs that
prompt for, generate, verify and encrypt passwords. 
 
 
 Changes in 0.5.3:

 
The build environment has been modified to no longer use packer.h when it
is availble. crack.h is now always required. 
 
 
 Changes in 0.5.2: 
 
The
build environment has been modified to search for the system dictionary in the
additional location of /var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwd, which is where
it is on Debian Linux. 
 
 
 Changes in 0.5.1: 
 
Password.get would throw
an exception in the unlikely event that STDIN reached EOF without any input. 
 
pwgen now supports a -v or --version switch. 
 
 
 Changes in 0.5.0: 
 
This
is a major update. The user-visible changes between this version and the 
 previous, 0.4.1, are as follows: 
 
 A new example program, pwgen, has been
 added, complete with man page. Ted 
 Ts'o's C program of the same name
 inspired this Ruby version. The man page is 
 also adapted from his. 
 
 A new class method, Password.phonemic, generates phonemic passwords. This,
 
 too, was inspired by Ted Ts'o's work on pwgen. As its second parameter, it
 can 
 take zero or more new constants, logically OR'ed together. Available
 constants 
 are Password::ONE_DIGIT and Password::ONE_CASE. The former
 specifies that the 
 generated password should contain at least one digit,
 whilst the latter 
 specifies that the password should contain at least
 one capital letter. 
 
 The old Password.random method has been renamed
 Password.urandom and replaced 
 by a new Password.random that does not
 depend on /dev/urandom, making it much 
 more portable. Password.urandom will
 return nil on platforms that do not 
 implement the /dev/urandom device. 
 
 Password.get will now detect whether STDIN is connected to a tty. If not,
 no 
 password prompt is displayed and no attempt will be made to manipulate
 
 terminal echo. 
 
 The prompt parameter to Password.get and Password.getc
 must now be passed in 
 its entirety. Previously, the string ': ' would be
 automatically appended to 
 the user-supplied prompt, but this behaviour has
 been changed in order to 
 accommodate null prompts. The default string for
 the prompt parameter has been 
 changed accordingly. 
 
 Running password.rb
 directly will now result in a call to Password.phonemic 
 and the display of
 the resulting password. 
 
 The Password::BadDictionary exception has been
 renamed 
 Password::DictionaryError and made a subclass of StandardError
 instead of 
 RuntimeError. 
 
 The CryptError exception has been moved to
 Password::CryptError and is now a 
 subclass of StandardError instead of
 RuntimeError. 
 
 A new constant, PASSWD_CHARS, gives the list of characters
 from which 
 automatically generated passwords will be chosen. Note that
 Password.urandom 
 will use the additional characters '+' and '/'. 
 
 A
 new constant, SALT_CHARS, gives the list of characters valid as salt 
 characters when invoking Password#crypt. 
 
 Password.getc now returns
 an instance of Password, not String. 
 
 Password.random now returns a
 Password, not a String. 
 
 A Password::CryptError exception is now raised
 if the salt passed to 
 Password#crypt contains a bad character. 
 
 RDoc
 documentation has been added. The INSTALL file explains how to build it. 
 
 The RD documentation has been removed in favour of the RDoc documentation. 

 
 Changes in 0.4.1: 
 
A warning issued when the library was loaded into
Ruby 1.8.x is now avoided. 
 
 
 Changes in 0.4.0: 
 
When a bad dictionary
path is provided to Password#check, a Password::BadDictionary exception is
now raised. In addition, buffering is now turned off for the Password.getc
method, as this resulted in the prompt sometimes not being displayed when
called by Ruby 1.8 
 
 
 Changes in 0.3.0: 
 
The Crack class is gone and
Password is now a direct subclass of String. Methods previously available in
the Crack class are now accessible directly from the Password class. 
 
 As
a result of this change, Password#check now raises a Password::WeakPassword
exception if the password is weak, not a Crack::WeakPassword exception. 

 
 Changes in 0.2.1: 
 
There are no user-visible changes to the code base
in this release. The only changes are portability enhancements to the build
system. 
 
 
 Changes in 0.2.0: 
 
Password#check now returns true on success,
and raises a Crack::WeakPassword exception on failure. 
 
 
 Changes in 0.1.1:

 
Password.get now returns an instance of class Password, not String 
 
Password.new now defaults to returning a null string, rather than nil
