v1.3.2-alpha: Major bug fixes

Bug fixes

Password generation

• Removed bizarre dots next to the lowercase letters checkbox that appeared after selecting the 'Generate password' tab from the 'Password strength tab' by automatically focusing the keyboard on the input box in the 'Generate password' frame. This means the user can immediately start typing without having to click the input box.
  

• Passwords did not include characters from all the chosen character sets in version 1.3.1-alpha. This has since been fixed.
  
  

• The first and last passwords were, for some reason, the same. This has been fixed.
  
  

Changes

Password strength

• Renamed the frame title from 'Check a password's strength' to 'Password strength'

Password generation

• You can now generate a password of 4 to 100 characters, instead of 6 to 100 characters, due to a restructuring of the code.
  

• Updated all relevant labels to show a limit of 4 to 100 characters for generated passwords.
  

README.md

• Rephrased a couple of sentences.
• Added ChatGPT to the acknowledgements section.
• Added new screenshots.

• An error will occur if the user inputs a number that is not an integer between 6 and 100 in the 'Generate password' frame.

• Modified the usage section's text in README.md (from 'You can use this program to generate a random string of up to 100 letters, numbers and punctuation marks, and use the string how you desire.' to 'You can use this program to generate a random secure string of 6 to 100 letters, numbers and punctuation marks.') and 'You can also use it to discover weaknesses of a password, such as it being a commonly used password, having a short length, not containing upper and lower case letters, digits, and punctuation, and containing a repeated character.' to 'You can also use it to discover weaknesses of a password, such as being a commonly used password, having a short length, not containing upper and lower case letters, digits, and punctuation, or containing a repeated character.')

Code

• Changed the word 'Parametres' to 'Parameters'
• Moved password_width, password_height, password_border_width, password_font and error variables to the top in generate_password.py
• Updated DOCSTRINGS (Added 'calls the generate_password function to get a password' to create_password_labels, in generate_password.py)
• The generate_password function in generate_password.py creates a global variable with the generated password instead of returning it. Also updated its documentation and type annotation according to this change.
• Removed some comments in generate_password.py ('Makes the text uneditable.' on line 176)
