 Sorry, I mean from 2.03 to 2.04.
  Also, changes include:
 =20
  * pw_phonemes.c (pw_phonemes): Allow one or more capital letters
        and one or more digits in the generated passwords.
        (Addresses Debian Bug: #182595)
 =20
  * pwgen.1: Explain that human-memorable passwords are vulnerable
        to off-line brute force attacks.  (Addresses Debian Bug:
        #276976)
 =20
  * pwgen.c, pwgen.h, pw_rand.c, pwgen.1: Make -A and -0 aliases to
        --no-capitalize and --no-numerals, and make those options
        work when --secure is specified.
 =20
  * pwgen.c, pwgen.h, pw_rand.c, pw_phonemes.c, pwgen.c: Add support
        for the --symbols/-y option, which adds special characters
        to the generated password.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #154561)
  =09
  * pwgen.c: Add -H, --sha1 option, to allow computing reproducible
        passwords, given a known file, and a known seed.
        (ie: pwgen -H ~/my_favourite.mp3#olivier%guerrier.com@localhost gives me
        a list of possibles passwords for my pop3 account, and I can
        ask this list again and again).   Feature suggested and
        implemented by Olivier Guerrier <olivier%guerrier.com@localhost>.
 =20
  * Fix obvious spelling typo in pwgen.1.  (Addresses Debian Bug
        #311461)
