fSekrit Changelog

What's new in fSekrit 1.40

Jan 26, 2012
  • fixed: long-standing bug where failing to save changes when closing fSekrit with a modified document would cause fSekrit to exit, rather than notifying of error and let user attempt to save again.
  • fixed: saves are *finally* done properly, by saving to a temporary file and replacing the current file only when all the file writing business is done.
  • added: font selection dialog, no longer do you need to much around with the registry to set another default font. The font is still not stored in your document, though, and is single global per-user registry setting.
  • added: "portable" mode, which (for now) means it will not use %TEMP% to store it's temporary editor executable, but instead store it in the same folder as the opened document. Registry is still used for font selection, though! To enabel this feature, create a file called "fSekrit.portable" in the same folder as the document you want to function in portable mode.
  • added: URLs are now recognized and turned into hyperlinks.
  • fixed: Read-only notes should be a lot more sane - changed from confusing "make read-only" that half-worked to "Save As Read-only" that works
  • fixed: Win9x and NT4 support has been broken since version 1.35. Release builds are now done with an older compiler toolchain, and 9x/NT4 support is back

New in fSekrit 1.35 (Jan 26, 2012)

  • fixed: file->export appends ".txt" instead of ".exe" if no extension given.
  • fixed: file->new now clears passphrase and read-only state.
  • fixed: menu items are now properly enabled/disabled depending on read-only state and whether text field is empty or not.
  • added: drag&drop support: you can now drop a text file onto the fSekrit window, and fSekrit will load the dropped file.
  • added: right-click popup menu with edit actions
  • added: redo support
  • added: unicode text support (only the note text, not filenames yet)
  • added: now everything sensitive is always wiped from memory after use, as far as it's possible (with the exception of the RichEdit control).

New in fSekrit 1.3 (Nov 18, 2007)

  • added: read-only notes, finally :)
  • bugfix: changing key on unsaved document would crash
  • bugfix: saving an empty document would crash
  • bugfix: running fSekrit.exe (w/o embedded note) from a CD was unable to
  • Save As because read-only file attribute wasn't cleared on destination

New in fSekrit 1.2 (Sep 16, 2006)

  • Improved security a bit (randomized IV)
  • Now saves without "flickering in and out of existance"
  • You can now specify a custom font. No GUI setting for this, but it's tweakable from regedit. You can create fontface:string and fontsize:dword values under HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareflork.dkfSekrit
  • Import and export plain text
  • Win9x: Now handles large encrypted notes
