changelog

version 1.0.1
fix bug:
- On interactive mode, checking if the two passphrases are the same fails something when stdin buffer isnt emptied before reading the first password.

","(comma) is not a valid mount point path. the cli prevents this but the GUI just fails without informing a user why. Added a dialog to inform a user
when they select comma as a mount point.

comma as a mount point is disallowed because it sits right next to "dot" button and most people(ie. me) usually press "."(dot) key to mean "present working directory"
but will miss the key and press comma key and start wondering why things arent they way they are supposed to be.
The comma key should have been on the other side of the keyboard!!!

version 2.0
add support for adding and deleting keys in luks based volumes in the cli and gui.

version 3.0
add support for creating both plain and luks based volumes in both files and partitions.

-- provide a complete docs in a header file on how to interface with libzuluCrypt.so
-- include partitions in /etc/crypttab in a list of system partitions.

version 4.1.0
-- minor update, fix bugs comming from mishandling of files and paths with empty spaces in them.

version 4.2.0
-- minor update, volume in the favorite list could not be mounted, this version fix it.

version 4.3.0
-- fix bugs in zulucrypt-gui triggered by use of double quotes in file and path names
-- fix a bug. fat based volumes mounted with wrong permissions and only root user could write to the opened volume
-- volumw property now displays file system type, volume size, volume size used, volume size available and percentage used.
-- Fix a bug that prevented adding a new key from key file to a luks volume when the existing key was from a passphrase.
-- The password dialog had a bug and did not reset properly when the previous operation involved opening a keyfile.
-- Add an option to close all opened volumes with a single click.
-- Created volumes with extX file systems now use 1% reserved space instead of the default 5%.
-- Encrypted files can now be created using "/dev/random","/dev/urandom" or "/dev/zero"
-- Add a UI option to select a random number generator to use to all dialogs that deals with features that need it.
-- Add option to just minimize or minimize to tray the main window.
-- various other UI and functionality fixes.

version 4.3.1
-- A bit more UI effects when opening and closing of volumes.
-- Context menu on opened volumes can now be triggered with CTRL+M or or menu key for better keyboard only management of the tool
-- Device addresses can be given in a form of "/dev/XYZN" or "UUID=bla-bla-bla".
-- various fixes
-- A separate window to manage favorite volumes

version 4.3.2
-- ext3/ext4 can not be mounted with user specified permissions and they use the permissions set when the volume was last mounted.
    This creates a problem on freshly created volumes because they always end up owned by root. This update fix the problem by setting
    permissions everytime a volume is opened in read/write mode. If a volume open with root as owner, then reopen the volume in read/write
    mode and permissions will be set properly(0700 with the owner being the user who opened the volume)


version 4.3.3
-- fix a bug that caused improper reading of key files if they were not made up of C strings.
-- fix a bug triggered when attempting to open a plain type volume using aes-cbc-plain cypher( opening plain volume in legacy mode ).

-- major cli interface change, run zulucrypt-cli --help for more info.
-- normal users can not create volumes in system partitions but root user now can. system partition is defined as a partition
   with active entry(not commented out) in /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab.

version 4.5.0
-- add support for creating backups of luks headers and restoring luks headers
-- add support for first writing random data to partitions before creating an encryped container in them.
-- add support for "/etc/zuluCrypttab". A place to add additional paths to devices to be considered system devices.
-- various security related fixes.
-- add support for encrypting stand alone files

version 4.5.1

   passphrases from kde kwallet,gnome keyring,gpg encryped key files and a combination of keyfile and passphrase.
-- show a dialog to warn a user the volume will be opened in read only mode when whey tick the option for the first time.
-- passphrases are sent to the back end in a more secure way using unix local socket.

-- fix bug:volumes did not close properly if mount point had a space character among others in it
-- feature added:users who are members of "zulumount-exec" group will have their volumes opened with "exec" mount option.
   This will allow them to be able to execute commands from the mount point.The default and recommended option is not mount with "noexec" option.
-- feature added:A "-M" option is added that will create a publicly accessible "mirror" of a mount point in "/run/share" from the private
   original one created in "/run/media/$USER.This option is there to allow a user to mount a volume and have it accessible from other users of the system.
-- zuluMount-gui now adds and removed from its list as devices are added and removed from the system.A right click context menu option can be set to allow
   unencrypted volumes to also be automounted.
-- add a command line option to zuluMount-gui to start it up without showing the GUI

-- volumes in gnome are now stored in libsecret and no longer in libgnome-keyring
-- add a GUI window in zuluCrypt-gui to manage keys in libsecret wallet,internal wallet and kde kwallet.
-- add an internal system that can securely store keys independently of kde kwallet and gnome libsecret.Useful to those who
   want to store keys securely but dont want gnome or kde dependencies
-- add compile time option to use mount points in user home directory instead of "/run/media/private"
-- NOTE: changes in management of wallets are not backward compatible and hence volumes will have to be readded after the update.My
   apologies for the inconvenience.
-- drop support for updating /etc/mtab and remove libmount as a required dependency
-- add a Qt5 port,see build instrunctions on how to build Qt5 version

version 4.6.7
-- fix packaging issues

   -format is:one entry per line,example entry: UUID="abcf" uid=500
-- fix a bug,if udev is enabled,mounted image files were always treated as system volumes.
-- use libgcrypt for stand alone file encryption instead of cryptsetup.Newer stand alone encrypted files will have an extension of ".zC" to
   distinguish them from previous ones that use ".zc".Older versions of zuluCrypt(<4.6.9) will not be able to open encrypted files that
   end with ".zC".
-- add an option in zuluCrypt GUI to specify a truecrypt volume type when saving or restoring a truecrypt header from a backup header file

version 4.7.5
-- add abilities in zuluMount-gui to hide useless entries like windows recovery partitions from view.
   These entries can be set to show/hide through tray icon context menu.

   creation of volumes using either a passphrase or a single keyfile.

   user home directory and the volume can not be unlocked without this detached header.The detached header can be
   reattached later on through zuluCrypt-gui->menu->Volumes->Restore Volume Header.
-- its now possible to create a shared mount point when unlocking a volume in zuluCrypt-gui
-- its now possible to unlock VeraCrypt volumes from favorite feature in zuluCrypt-gui
-- add complete French translation to both zuluCrypt-gui and zuluMount-gui
-- try to silently solve problems caused by other tools mounting zuluCrypt's encryption mapper.
-- add support for creating a "plain dm-crypt" volume at a "none zero offset".This type of volume is useful as a
   "poor man's version of a hidden volume feature in TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt".Best thing about this type of hidden
   volume is that the outer volume can be anything including an "exposed file system".Currently,only zuluMount-gui can
   open this type of volume by clicking "options" followed by "Set Volume Offset" on the mounting dialog prompt.
-- Qt5 is now the default Qt dependency.

version 5.0.1
-- languages can be changed without requiring a restart.
