What's new in age 1.1.1

Dec 26, 2022
  • Age v1.1.1 is a patch release to fix

New in age 1.1.0 RC 1 (Jun 11, 2022)

  • CLI breaking changes:
  • If -i is used, passphrase-encrypted files are now rejected. Previously, a passphrase-encrypted file was auto-detected and the identity file was ignored. This could lead to unexpected behavior, such as a script blocking for user interaction, based on potentially untrusted input files. Now, age -d must be invoked without -i arguments to decrypt passphrase-encrypted files. A helpful error is printed otherwise. This should not break any automated system as passphrase decryption was always interactive.
  • Minor changes:
  • If /dev/tty is present but can't be opened, age will now fallback to trying to treat stdin as a terminal as if /dev/tty wasn't present.
  • Windows binary releases are now signed.
  • Documentation and error messages were improved.
