Versie 1.26.13 van VeraCrypt is uitgekomen, een ontwikkelversie. VeraCrypt is ontstaan als een fork van TrueCrypt, en is een opensource-encryptieprogramma waarmee een harde schijf, partitie of een virtuele volume kan worden versleuteld. VeraCrypt gebruikt de originele broncode van TrueCrypt, maar bevat diverse verbeteringen met betrekking tot de beveiliging. Volumes die met TrueCrypt zijn aangemaakt, konden voorheen geopend en geconverteerd worden, maar versie 1.25.9 is de laatste versie die dit nog kon. In deze uitgave zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
All OSes:Windows:
- Update translations and documentation
- Implement language selection settings in non-Windows versions.
- Make codebase compatible with wxWidgets 3.3 in non-Windows versions.
- Implement detection of volumes affected by XTS master key vulnerability and warn user about it.
- Update mount failure error messages to mention removal of TrueCrypt support and old algorithms.
