Releases

This update improves file-transfer performance, speeds up unlocking, and makes Finder browsing and background saves more reliable.

- Faster reads and writes: local encrypted-image benchmarks showed approximately 1.71-3.66x the write throughput and 1.45-1.70x the read throughput, depending on workload.

* Faster unlocking for LUKS2 drives protected with Argon2.

* Faster browsing of large folders in Finder, with more reliable listings while files are added, removed or renamed.

* Automatic background saving after activity stops and during long copies, with safer retries after temporary drive errors. Always eject your drive before unplugging it.

* Better handling of temporary unlock failures, so system or drive errors are not mistaken for an incorrect passphrase.

* More accurate file dates, preserving fractions of a second and correctly handling dates before 1970 and after 2038.

* Correct handling of Linux special-file types when renaming files or creating hard links.

* Better responsiveness when several drives are mounted, so a slow read on one drive does not hold up the others.

Performance figures are from local tests with 128 MiB files on a 2 GiB LUKS2/ext4 image, not physical-drive benchmarks. Actual speeds vary by drive, hardware and workload.

Requires macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon.
