Phraze v0.1.5

Empty word bug fix

This release fixes what could be considered a bug that negatively affected security present in earlier versions/releases of this tool.

Previously, the make_list function used .split('\n') to read in lines of the word lists. This caused Phraze to read in a blank or empty line at the end of each file, such that one word on every word list was "". This meant that a, say, 7-word passphrase could contain a "blank" word, dropping entropy down to that of a 6-word passphrase. Not good!

Now, we use the smarter lines() method:

/// Read in the appropriate word list, give the desired list enum
fn make_list(list_to_use: List) -> Vec<&'static str> {
    match list_to_use {
        List::Medium => include_str!("../word-lists/orchard-street-medium.txt")
            .lines()
            .collect(),
        List::Long => include_str!("../word-lists/orchard-street-long.txt")
            .lines()
            .collect(),
        List::Qwerty => include_str!("../word-lists/orchard-street-qwerty.txt")
            .lines()
            .collect(),
        List::Alpha => include_str!("../word-lists/orchard-street-alpha.txt")
            .lines()
            .collect(),
        List::Eff => include_str!("../word-lists/eff-long.txt").lines().collect(),
    }
}

This seems to solve the issue, however I'll keep it in mind going forward.

Other recent changes in v0.1.5

• Adds option to add random separators of numbers, symbols, or both between words, thanks to @jc00ke's PR: #3 !
• Ensures that random number function can return a 9 by using an inclusive gen_range()
• Includes EFF long list as a list option, the first list that is not an Orchard Street Wordlist. Note that the EFF long list is free of prefix words, and thus uniquely decodable and therefore safe to generate passphrases without a separator between words.
• Makes list parsing error handling slightly more graceful
