There are so many improvements, so I won't list them all. Some noticeable ones are that Picocrypt will show "Scanning files..." when it is loading a lot of dropped files and that Picocrypt now shows stats (progress, speed, ETA) for compression, recombining, and splitting. File permission handling is much better as well, so if you try to save to a read-only location or drop a restricted file, Picocrypt will let you know. The cancel button also works more consistently now, and Reed-Solomon decoding performance is as fast as if it wasn't encoded. Only if corruption is detected will Picocrypt actually slow down to rebuild the broken data. This release also has a new executable for Windows (Picocrypt-NoGL.exe) which bundles Mesa3d's software renderer so that it can run on any Windows machine regardless of drivers or OpenGL support (works in VirtualBox as well). Finally, this release is signed with PGP, as requested by many. You can find the fingerprint and public key under the Security section of the homepage.

Enjoy this phenomenal release! Picocrypt is at a point where all known bugs have been fixed and all features I plan to implement have been implemented. So you can truly rely on Picocrypt now because there won't be any major changes anymore (no major incompatibilities) and it will be bug fixes and improvements all the way. Please donate so we can get Picocrypt audited!

Note: There is a slight incompatibility but it only applies to volumes larger than 60 GiB. So if you have volumes larger than 60 GiB, you should use v1.27 to decrypt it. Other than that, v1.28 is fully compatible with v1.27.
