v1.13 (Soon to be released)

Note: v1.3 will be INCOMPATIBLE with all previous releases! This will likely be the last change in the header format, meaning that all future releases should be compatible with v1.13 and on.

v1.12.1 (Bug fix patch, released 04/11/2021)

There was a major bug in v1.12 that caused the "Secure wipe" feature to show "Unknown error" when done. This wasn't anything serious security-wise and v1.12.1 has the fix for this bug. Also, a bug that causes "Secure wipe" to hang has been fixed.

v1.12 (Released 04/07/2021)

• Beautiful UI
• More than x2 as fast as previous versions
• Add cancel button to cancel encryption/decryption
• (Bug) Delete existing file only if password is correct
• Minor aesthetic fixes
• Complete rewrite from scratch, to ensure reliability and security
• Better anti-corruption (re-defined header format)
• Switch to Argon2d instead Argon2id for better security
• Switch from SHA3 to BLAKE3 for corruption check
• Better user flow

Note: v1.12 will be INCOMPATIBLE with all previous releases!
