2003-12-03 23:19 UTC - 1.3.3

Generated names now occasionally have middle initials.

2003-11-23 10:27 UTC - 1.3.2

Han-Kwang Nienhuys provided a patch to insert common words (like 'a', 'about', 'an', 'are', 'as', 'at', 'be', 'by'...) about 1/5 of the time and pointed out a minor bug. Thanks!

2003-09-11 11:54 UTC - 1.3.1

Decapitalised prefixes of email addresses.

2003-09-11 11:17 UTC - 1.3

• Now has option to use separate vocab file for generating the names in the email addresses.
• Made appearance of lists of email addresses random rather than appearing after every paragraph.
• Cleaned up the code relating to capitalisation.

2003-09-10 15:38 UTC - 1.2.5

Caused the script to pause for a couple of seconds before finishing to afford some protection against your webserver being overwhelmed.

2003-09-10 11:43 UTC - 1.2.4

Applied patch from gellyfish to clean up the way the CGI path is handled, and URL-encode spaces in the links.

2003-09-09 14:33 UTC - 1.2.3

Now uses HTML::Entities to encode any ácçèñtêd characters that might occur in the word list being used.

2003-09-09 12:16 UTC - 1.2.2

Added capitalisation and punctuation to make more realistic "sentences".

2003-09-09 12:09 UTC - 1.2.1

Links now contain a random number of words instead of being just one.

2003-09-09 11:41 UTC - 1.2

• Randomised number of paragraphs, links and email addresses generated.
• Links now appear scattered randomly in paragraphs.

2003-09-09 11:22 UTC - 1.1

• Sanitised code into subs that generate words, email addresses, links and so on.
• Added "first name" and "last name" for email addresses (and comedy value) and wrapped them in the page in < > for prettiness.

2003-09-09 10:31 UTC - 1

• Increased randomness of email addresses lest they accidentally make real ones - they're now of the form <random word>@<random word>.<random string that may have hyphens or periods in it>.[<optional 'co.', 'org.', 'net.' or 'gov.'>]<random country domain>
• Added code to strip invalid sequences like "-." and ".." out of the generated addresses.

2003-09-09 10:14 UTC - 1b

Now generates links to itself at the end of sentences that build up fake breadcrumb navigation at the top of the page.

2003-09-09 09:43 UTC - 1a

Initial version. Generates lists of email addresses like "scxmsdls@dqtqtu.ec".
