Release notes for version 0.6.2


OVERVIEW

OhCrypt lets you easily encrypt and decrypt files using some of the most popular algorithms, like AES, Blowfish and TwoFish. With OhCrypt, you can secure your data with a password-based encryption algorithm through a clean and simple interface. It is cross-platform software and files can be encrypted and decrypted on any machine that can run a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
