What's new

v1.2
Scrambler 1.2.2:
• Fixes a bug where users with Macs running over network drives were not able to properly use the “source folder” feature.
• Fixes a bug where users could, in some cases, not properly select folders in the open dialog that appears before encryption/decryption.
Scrambler 1.2:
• A new, vastly more secure scrambled file format that makes brute-force attacks practically impossible (unless the user chooses a weak password).
• The new file format also produces more compact files—about 25% smaller.
• Adds the optional ability to automatically delete the original item(s) after encryption/decryption.
• A few minor improvements and bug fixes.
  Important:
  • Scrambled files created with Scrambler 1.2 will not decrypt on older versions.
  • Descrambler users also have to upgrade to the newest version to decrypt the new file format. (Descrambler is a free “decrypt-only” version of Scrambler, also available on the Mac App Store.)
  • The new versions are, of course, able to decrypt the old file format.
Scrambler 1.1.8:
• Sandbox support. This technology vastly improves app security and is now recommended by Apple for all Mac apps. For technical reasons, a consequence of this is that if you are currently using Scrambler’s “save in source folder” feature, you have to set it up again through Scrambler’s new Preferences window.
• Various minor improvements.
Scrambler 1.1.6:
• New icons and artwork that are compatible with the retina display.
• Fixes a bug that in some cases caused an error during decryption.
• Various underlying bug fixes.
Scrambler 1.1.4:
• Fixes a bug that in some cases caused an error/crash when encrypting folders.
Scrambler 1.1.2:
• Fixes a bug that made it unable for some users to launch the app.
• Some minor internal improvements.
Scrambler 1.1:
• The file size limitation of 250 MB has been removed; users can now encrypt as large files as they want.
• Adds a progress indicator that shows the percentage completion of the encryption/decryption.
• Encryption and decryption can now be cancelled during progress.
• Encryption and decryption are now dramatically more memory-efficient.
• Fixes a bug that sometimes, in rare cases, made it impossible to decrypt scrambled files.
• Fixes various other minor bugs.
• The underlying codebase has been completely reworked to take full advantage of new technologies provided in OS X Lion. For the user, this results in a nice performance boost. For the developer, this provides a great foundation for further improvements.
Scrambler 1.0:
• Initial release.
