EncryptPad project releases 0.3.2.5 beta

[Evgeny Pokhilko]

EncryptPad, a free open source project for privacy and security, today announced the general availability of beta version 0.3.2.5, a community driven text editor facilitating symmetric encryption of text and binary files that implements the OpenPGP protocol. This release includes several new features, including Chinese translation, configurable default encryption parameters, customization of generated key files and improved usability.

Notable enhancements include:

* More properties in the preferences to control default encryption parameters: key file random sequence length, key file encryption properties, default file encryption properties (cipher, S2K, iterations, compression), the number of encryption keys to save or load without prompting the passphrase again.

* Use one EncryptPad binary for all languages. EncryptPad will recognize the OS preferred language for localization. It will simplify the release management especially for packagers.

* --lang switch to force a specific language instead of taking the OS's locale. Example: encryptpad --lang FR to load the French localization strings.

* EncryptPad GUI was translated to Chinese.

* The project documentation was translated to French.

* Bug fixes.

A complete list of features and bug fixes is available on the project web site (http://evpo.net/encryptpad/static/en/news/news.htm).

I would like to thank the contributors, package maintainers and community for making this release possible.
