Enhanced pre-release version for testing and evaluation. This will be the last version called "DoxBox". Later versions will be called "LibreCrypt".

  • Security improvements
    • Ensured any new volume is overwritten with Secure PRNG 'chaff' before use by default. This enables plausible deniability of hidden volumes, and also hides the amount of data stored in the volume. DoxBox (FreeOTFE) volumes only.
    • Fix bug where the app was contacting the internet for documentation and for updates without a prompt
    • Rework internal handling of secure data (e.g keys and IVs) so all sensitive data is wiped in memory immediately after use. This reduces the risk of leaking to swap, hibernation file, and of cold-boot attacks.
  • UI Improvements
    • Fixed issue with translations - updated gettext to Delphi 2009 version (see build notes)
    • Prompts to format new volumes after creation.
    • Many minor UI improvements.
    • Much refactoring to ease future work.
