This update introduces a screen protection mechanism that leverages the Windows Display Affinity API to prevent screen capture, screen recording, and inclusion in the Windows 11 Recall feature. By default, all VeraCrypt windows, menus, and tooltips are protected. Users can enable or disable this feature through a new setting available in the application Preferences, as well as in the installer and MSI configurations.
This enhances user privacy by mitigating potential leaks of sensitive interface content.
Note: Due to a regression in Windows 11 affecting layered windows, ComboBox dropdowns cannot currently be protected by this mechanism.
This patch moves away from gnome-terminal -e options which is deprecated
and subject to possibly be removed in the future. The -- option is nearly
equivalent in behaviour. Also ensures that uninstallation script has correct
privileges, adds window title to xmessage and ensures correct files are
used during installation.
* refactor: use UNMOUNT instead of DISMOUNT in code
This change updates the term DISMOUNT in constants to UNMOUNT.
Other occurrences (e.g. variable names) are left alone for now.
* refactor(ui): use unmount instead of dismount
This change updates the GUI text and replaces dismount with unmount.
* docs: update term dismount -> unmount
* refactor(cmdline): add unmount
This change adds an argument 'unmount' for command line usage, while
trying to deprecate the old disnount argument.
The current dismount argument/flag will still work to not introduce
a breaking change.
* docs: mention that /dismount is deprecated
This change fixes the shorthand version of the argument /unmount
It also adds back the info for /dismount and that it is deprecated.
During a Windows upgrade, ownership of veracrypt.sys is set to TrustedInstaller, preventing VeraCrypt from accessing the file during an update.
This commit resolves the issue by temporarily taking ownership of the file to rename it, allowing the new file to be copied. The setup process now obtains additional privileges for this operation, which are properly dropped once the file copying is complete.
The build script build_veracrypt_macosx.h now accepts the argument -f to enable fuse-t support.
It is also possible to set the environment variable VC_OSX_FUSET to 1 for FUSE-T support.
A change was done in CoreUnix::GetMountedVolumes to add a waiting loop for control file to be accessible because when using FUSE-T there always a delay before control file can be serialized.
* Implement Language selection into settings
Initial commit to create a new tab in PreferencesNotebook for
Language selection. By default, if nothing is chosen, it uses the
current behaviour of using the language from system environment
variables. If another language is chosen from the settings, it is
saved into the Configuration.xml and this is used instead.
* Fix SetStringSelection() assert issue on macOS
* Add header include to fix build
* Add current language pack, authors and way to use literal strings
* Translations also for FreeBSD
* Minimal GTK3 WX build on FreeBSD requires wxGraphicsContext
* Get Preferences properly instead of workaround function
* Use WrapSizer instead of BoxSizer for author line
This forces long author lists to be put on a new line, reducing
the need to increase window width.
* Update Finnish translation
* Borrow translation from IDM_LANGUAGE where it makes sense
* Remove colon and thus unneeded function
* Simplify Language tab layout
* Reintroduce macOS specific fixes to Forms.cpp
* cleanup
The x11 aliases such as --title are only available in the Qt application
if the XDG_SESSION_TYPE is x11. Instead of using an alias, we can use
--qwindowtitle directly.
