Release 0.1.5

This release adds a few changes requested in the forum and also corrects a few problems discovered in the earlier release. It also adds a few additional changes reflecting changes in other software used by the plugin.

Permit a minimum length of 6 characters for a password. This is not something that we specifically recommend as short passwords are more easily compromised. It might be acceptable upon an internal site.

A small problem was discovered where if the front end password generator was disabled, then the back end generator would not work. The code has been restructured to prevent this problem.

Another problem identified was that if the password checking was configured such that only numerics were checked, then the password generator would only create passwords with numerics. This was caused as a consequence of using the password checking criteria as a basis for the generator. The code has been restructured and new parameters created for the generator. An additional check has been added so that if the password is being checked for a specific character type then irrespective of the generator setting, this type would be part of the generated password. It does however permit passwords to be created and minimal (or none ) password checked performed upon the generated passwords.

A new class has been added to the generator button code to permit a site to use their own CSS styling if they wish. The new class is named 'btn-pwdgen'.

There are some additional code checks to avoid a situation where user upon logging in the first time, and being presented with the password request immediately logs out. Upon relogging in they were not in some circumstances being prompted again to change their password. This change has required a change in the database table to ensure that the change requst is honoured over different sessions.

[Note]Note

To ensure backward compatibility this is separate from the 'force password reset' option available in Joomla 3.4, although this may be reviewed in later versions.

A new option has been added to control the loading of jQueryUI in front end. Formally there was an assumption that it was loaded if jQuery was also loaded, which is not true for many modern templates. This is now separately controlled.

The default version of the jQuery UI has been changed to the 1.11.4 release.

If jQuery is selected to be loaded by the plugin then the version default has changed to use the jQuery 1.11.3 release.
