About Picocrypt NG

Picocrypt NG is a small, simple, yet very secure file encryption tool.
It uses XChaCha20 for encryption and Argon2id for key derivation, with
optional cascaded Serpent encryption in paranoid mode.

Features include Reed-Solomon error correction for data recovery,
keyfile support, volume splitting, and a full command-line interface
for scripting and automation.

What's new in 2.18
• Desktop GUI: fixed the Linux desktop layout and output theming so the compact window keeps controls/results readable and visually consistent
• Windows installer: upgrades now replace the installed GUI executable in place, detect a running Picocrypt NG instance instead of silently leaving the old binary, and clean up the orphaned portable executable left by the previous upgrade path
• Android/F-Droid readiness: Android release tasks can now assemble unsigned release APKs for F-Droid source builds while GitHub release CI still requires the maintainer signing secrets for official upstream APKs
• Android reproducibility: gomobile AAR builds now use stable empty Go build IDs and stripped native debug metadata for libgojni.so, removing the build-id metadata drift that blocked F-Droid reproducible APK comparison
• Security maintenance: updated golang.org/x/image to v0.43.0 to include the TIFF decoder vulnerability fixes reported by govulncheck
• Package availability: the README now documents the third-party MacPorts port while keeping project-owned release channels distinct
