Version 7.0.0.0 30th March 2017

• Encryption is now more than 50% faster!
  We’ve used some of the best performance tools around and taken a very detailed look at where time was being spent during encryption. The results are two substantial areas of improvement:
• If you have an Intel based processor, encryption will now be processed via the on-board AES instruction set which will save you in the region of 10%.
• During encryption, Kruptos 2 shreds your original file which often requires more time than actual encryption (depending on your HD speed). Version 7 offloads this process onto a new service (K2Cleaner) which shreds all temporary files in the background.
  
  
• Improvements to the corruption prevention service.
  We’ve added additional extra checks and counter measures which are always performed before any file changing operations are completed so if your computer crashes or you lose power on your laptop, you can be sure the file you were editing will not be lost or corrupted. Thanks to all the customers who helped.
• Now monitors your Kruptos 2 encrypted files (via k2Service) in near-real-time for any data leakage and data potential corruption.
• Secure notes have been improved to include RTF formatting.
• For administrators, we've updated the command line utility to match all current Kruptos 2 functionality.
• Updated common password analyser to match the one used on the Mac
• Loads of little tweaks and improvement.
