This release brings a major overhaul of how data is generated, allowing you to create your own data types such as IP addresses or entire JSON objects. At the same time, it remains just as easy to generate plain numbers. Check the plugin description for more details and animated usage examples.
- Each time you insert an array your demands will be slightly different, so when you insert an array a dialog is shown in which you can quickly vary the array's settings.
- In addition to a list of standard separators, you can now also choose your own separator for all data types, including for arrays.
- You can automatically pad (or truncate) integers to a specific length.
- A notification is shown after upgrading to Randomness 3 to inform the user of incompatibilities with settings from older versions.
- Future backwards compatibility ensures that your settings can always be imported into future versions.
- Randomness now uses templates to generate data. A template consists of a list of "primitive" data types which are concatenated together. Data types include the old data types (integer, decimal, string, word, UUID), but also the new date-time and the template reference.

- Words are no longer read from dictionary files, but are stored directly in the settings window. To reuse words in multiple templates, consider using template references.
