Minor password and username length validation bug in Version 1.2

I just discovered a minor bug. User passwords are supposed to be validated between 4 and 15 characters, but in fact I messed up in the code — it tests for between 5 and 14 characters and balks when a password is exactly 4 or 15 characters. The same issue goes for usernames, which are supposed to be between 2 and 15 characters. For those who have experienced the problem it must be really annoying!
Anyway, the fix is in permission_functions.php:
Replace this:
if ($password_length <= 4 || $password_length >= 15 ) {
With this:
if ($password_length < 4 || $password_length > 15 ) {
Also, replace:
if ($username_length <= 2 || $username_length >= 15 ) {
With:
if ($username_length < 2 || $username_length > 15 ) {
I’ve cheated and fixed this in the existing 1.2 version. It will also be included in subsequent releases when I one day start on that again.
